"Wonkabot & Umpa Dunpa" custom by Ian Ziobrowski

Check out Ian Ziobrowski's new commission piece that he just finished... dubbed "Wonkabot & Umpa Dunpa", these are a custom 7" Kidrobot Mascot, and 3" Dunny, where with the inspiration provided by the client, Ian created these awesome figures! Ian mentions that "Growing up he's always creeped me out, with his fluctuating personalities... everything about him from the ongoing trickery to the weird stares of evil, it would always make me wonder what kind of person he really was." After going back an forth, and really studying his personality, Ian finally came up with a sketch... and above is the end result, some seriously well crafted custom vinyl pieces!

'Tosco: The Alpha Series' a new DIY figure with initial designs from SketOne, Bytedust, Mimic & Yahid Rodriguez

In the ever evolving world of designer toys, we constantly see companies/individuals, on what seems to be a weekly basis, try to plant their design firmly in the the art soil... hoping that it sticks. That being said, we just just got word about a new project which has recently been posted up to indiegogo... a crowd funded site similar to Kickstarter. Designed by Yahid Rodriguez... the man behind the shape for the ever-so-popular Mimobot line of figures, this new series titled 'Tosco: The Alpha Series' features a new DIY character that has a pretty cool humanoid form... and already has the support of many well/respected artists in the scene including SKET-ONE, BYTEDUST, MIMIC, and YAHID RODRIGUEZ.

I like the imposing look of this figure... the way his arms are out from the sides, the big body... and well, the fact that he stand a LARGE 9" tall... that helps! For this project, there will be 9 designs and each figure is limited to 300 pieces. Along with the artist designed pieces, they will also be offering up a limited edition all white DIY figure. The funds raised in this project will go directly to the initial cost of the articulated digital sculpt, an articulated prototype, tooling, molds, actual production of the figure (9 different designs) and shipping. I do like the uniqueness of the figure... and the designs revealed by the artists so far are looking pretty cool. If you want to help make this dream a reality, head on over HERE now and pledge some cash... there are plenty of different tiers... all of which are very affordable.

More WIP customs by Chauskoskis for the "Beasts & Oddities" Dragatomi art show!

As we'd previously mentioned, opening in a couple of weeks, Chauskoskis and Southerndrawl have a custom art show entitled "Beasts & Oddities" opening at Dragatomi. Pictured above are two fantastic work-in-progress (WIP) pieces by Walter "Chauskoskis" Jacott for the occassion; which, unless I'm wrong, are a custom 3-inch Devilrobots "Tofo" Dunny (left) and a custom 3.5-inch Teddy Troops piece (right). Both are absolutely stunning, though — I must admit — the grass hairdo for the Dunny piece is completely up my alley…

"Beasts & Oddities," the Southerndrawl and Chauskoskis show, opens on September 8th, 2012 at Dragatomi, 2317 J St., Sacramento, CA 95816.

Fuller Designs's Psycho Super Mario Bros. Mario & Toad customs!

Fuller Designs has tackled the truly iconic & nostalgic Super Mario Bros. characters of Mario and Toad for his newest custom releases, though he's reinterpreted them in a "Psycho" style. Mario is made from a 4-inch Mini Munny with hand-sculpted cap and flaming arms while Toad was a 3-inch Dunny (!!!) with hand-sculpted mushroom cap head and vest. All the sculpting looks super clean and the paint, per usual, is fantastic. Both were available in Fuller's web shop — Mario for $125 and Toad for $70 — but both sold out before I even received the announcement of their release… a well-deserved success for Fuller!

As we'd previously announced, the fantastic Luke Chueh will be having a solo show at Rotofugi next month… and he's been posting some amazing work-in-progress (WIP) pics of pieces for the event. Above are hand-painted Matryoshka (nesting) dolls that seem to decrease in size from Chueh's iconic bear, to the artist himself, to the inner workings of the human body. Then, pictured below, we have the "Male Role Model" and the "Female Role Model," based off of a Master of the Universe figure and a Barbie doll design respectively. Needless to say, this is shaping up to be stunning… but did we ever expect any less?
