UME Toys, aka Richard Page, just posted up a great photo of his new holiday releases, a custom Hugo Shortpants and Martin Longbottom. No details yet on edition, price or release date but I thought we should share these up as we're... [ read more ]
Those brits know how to have a good time, especially that Sneaky Raccoon who's putting on another custom toy show at Kidrobot - London. The last show 'Tales From The Sneaky Crypt' had a Halloweenish theme to it, the newest show "Sneaky Snow Ball'... [ read more ]
Last year, we hung out for a bit with Richard Page and even grabbed some dinner with that charming bloke. Thankfully Rich will be back at NYCC this year with even more original resin pieces, inluding some new Dee-Dee, Martin Longbottom, Venom, magnets, keychains, prints and hopefully that sick Adventure Time set he sculpted recently. I was going to try and message him to get a rundown of what he's bringing but I think he's already in New York so that might be difficult. I guess we'll just have to talk to Rich at the Con on Thursday.... [ read more ]
Tenacious Toys and Dead Hand Studios have teamed up once again for the follow-up to THE blind-box series of the year, Resin is King Series 2, releasing at Kidrobot New York, Thursday October 4. Featuring a staggering list of 16 artists this time around, each has developed their very own sub 3″ figure, casting them in a strictly limited run of 10. One box will also contain a golden ticket, which will entitle one lucky collector a brand new 8-inch Tuttz that matches Argonaut’s Sucio mini figures in the series!... [ read more ]
So where is Eric the Jawa come from? The concept came from the ToysREvil 'draw a jawa' fan submission. From Rich: "Eric the Jawa loves to collect droids especially astromech ones. Eric is a one off fan piece sculpt who stands a huge 5 and a half inches tall. If you're a fan of the Wars he'd love to say hello and if you're not careful still an R2 or 2.". If you'd like to pick him up he's currently for sale on Rich's shop here: umetoys.bigcartel.com. As always, follow what Rich is doing on his site ume-toys.blogspot.com or on his twitter account @umetoys... [ read more ]
It seems our good buddy Rich, who is the mastermind .... yes I said mastermind, behind UME Toys has gone through the trouble of shooting his latest release Martin Longbottom on a white background after my tweet request. Seems only fitting after he went through the special effort for us I should do a quick write up. No release date or price yet on these guys, but after Rich see's this and wants to share that info I will be more than happy to make an update. In the meantime follow him on twitter @umetoys for release info, or just keep checking his store umetoys.bigcartel.com.... [ read more ]
Alright so it's time to just fall in line and do an 'Official' Trampt #FollowFriday post with four great artists to follow. For some reason Sunday nights are impossible for me to get this done so I'm hoping this will be a bit easier to get out on a more consistent basis. If you're not familiar the original 'Must Know Monday' featured four artists that had some cool stuff going on this week. So it's the same thing ... just happening on Friday's now. Anyway, on to our featured artists... [ read more ]
For those people unfamiliar with what I'm talking about, back in November I made a newspost calling for artists to participate in an upcoming book we wanted to produce titled 'Deconstructing Designer Toys'. In this book, toy customizers would submit some of their work, and then as part of the submission they would describe the process for one of their pieces ... triumphs, difficulties, etc. Hopefully, making this a bit more than a typical toys/portfolio book with pretty pictures. We put the book together in about 6-7 weeks from start to finish, in order to hit a July 2012/SDCC release date. Well, it looks like our release date is around early 2013 so we're trying to explore our options.... [ read more ]
