Custom 'Smash' and 'Dunny' from Jon Paul Kaiser

Continuing on his custom rampage, UK artist Jon Paul Kaiser shares with us today a few more pieces that he recently completed for some lucky collectors. First up is a really coll rendition on Joe Ledbetter's Smash figure as, JPK did up this ape for a fellow UK collector & seller, where this collector left the design up to Jon! After inspecting all the ways it could stand, Jon's wife suggested perhaps a Donkey-Kong inspired piece... and boom, there you have it. Even though this figure is not as cartoony as the OG DK figure would be, Jon took the more literal approach to it and make the gorilla more life-like. Gotta love the added red tie, and boxing gloves!

Next up is a custom Dunny titled "Pandanigata". This is a 3" Dunny custom who is a follow op from Jon's earlier Pandashigaru figure. Unlike his predecessor... this guy has moved up the ranks and is now a more skilled fighter and renowned for his ferocity in battle. It's really great to see Jon use color in his pieces as it really sets off the rest of the black/white... especially with this piece above as the weapon and belt really lend to completing the design... such amazing work. Congrats to both these lucky collectors for snaggin up some rad pieces!
