WHAT'S NEW

Jason Limon × Martian Toys - “Abominable Snowcone” vinyl figure... behind the scenes - PART 2!

Last week, we showed off HERE some really awesome initial sculpt shots of the soon to be released “Abominable Snowcone” vinyl figure from Jason Limon and Martian Toys (their very first production figure)... and today, we are following up with the next stage in the toy creation evolution... the WAX prototypes. For this stage, the figure is cast in wax, polished up to final specifications, and is taken to make the final metal molds... the ones that the vinyls figures are pulled from. So this stage is very crucial, because what you see is what you get... for the most part.

It's a very interesting process as the wax figure is actually destroyed, melted away, during the final molding process. You can see from the photos above, that even the icecream truck is cast in wax, ready to melt away... kinda ironic, as this figure is a giant snowcone monster, haha! We actually get to see the foot stamp in this process as well... really cool! We are really excited for this release, and for those attending NYCC 2015, you will have first chance at this figure in both the "Cherry" red and the "Blueberry" blue editions. Our next post... we will show off the vinyl test pulls that were created from the wax sculpt... then it's off to get paint!!!
