the woebots are assimilating.

you remember this guy? of course you do. he made you ruin your computer chair when i showed you the teaser in november. well he's close. close enough to get a whiff of his bear resin musk. aaron said he's dropping in a few weeks. so be ready.

those omega-3s will get you jacked.

...but maybe only in the forearms.

fresher, shinier, crownier proto shots.

a king is no king without subjects to rule over...

hint hint aaron.

proof of life.

his kidnappers will pay.

:: two for tuesday ::

so maybe i'm a reh-tard (actually there's a high probability)

but i hadn't watched any episodes of vinyl addition until now.

and while watching episode 1, i kept asking myself a question...

why is nobody talking about

the woebots possessed production fig?

i have not seen one mention anywhere that this was legit and happening.

that first episode was 1 year ago! has it since been cancelled?

what the hell people? he's been on display at munky king!

look at this thing... he's fucking cool as shit.

[images captured from the episode below]

you will be mine.

for any of you that are as behind as me... here's the clip.

so there you go. two crazy ass woebots pieces in one day. are you not impressed? you should be, because they rule. and if anyone has any more info about the possessed... please pass it my way.

until then. i'll be scouring munky king, vinyl addiction, silent stage and army of snipers for the latest.

mellow the fuck out.

a little bit of flickr rumbling and stumbling brought me to the collection of nick+. he's got a bit of a thing for chris lee's mellow. a nice chewy figure in its own right [and recently at crazy closeout prices with the collapse of wheaty wheat] but it's always nice to see a little bit of paint and blood spread about the vinyl. and since mellow is so... well, mellow; he lends himself nicely to a huge variety of styles.

straight out of mexico city... alberto cerriteño

the blind yodeler sings for his spaghettios.

the magical may ann licudine

you know how hard it is to tattoo an owl?

actually, neither do i. i just assume it blows.

the always lovely julie west

lots of jello makes happy winged poos.

fuzzy and fantastical: dan may

look out! there a creepy albino kid behind you!

and of course the angriest of woes

fuck you bic!

let's give nick a hand for curating such a lovely bunch of lumps.

bear fury.

deep breath... angry woebots [aaron martin] is set to release his first original resin figure. and it looks kill-er. i seem to have a thing for bears, and his just have an incredible amount of fury and emotion. standing a healthy 8" or so and about the same forearm to forearm, he's one mean dude. brought to life by silent stage, his name is panda king. and i'm excited. there will only be about 60 pieces, hand-painted by the man himself, in their own wooden box with matching print.

a regal glare on the popeye workout program.

polar underneath, but panda through and through.

: : DISCLAIMER : :

the next image you are about to see did not come from aaron.

i created it in photoshop to get an idea of how his style might translate to the new shape. it may look completely different from this in final form, but i'm impatient. that being said...

how fucking cool is this?

you can't tease a new woebots piece without really showing the insanity of his previous work. a style that's instantly recognizable with an entire civilization of pandas from every corner of the emotional spectrum. he's got an amazing talent, and therefore, a rabid following.

two psychos that know how to throw their weight around.

plus brass knuckles? winner.

nipped from house of law.

we're gonna need two dysons to clean up all the flying fur.

larry. moe. and crazy.

ripped from the hands of wtfunks?

just your standard angry woebots mind-bogglingly awesome piece.

katana. a squad of snarling killers. AND dripping blood.

you starting to understand the pure distilled awesomeness?

the collection of sleepboy

possessed by the devil panda.

one of my favorite combos ever.

another lucky bastard, rasta.

you wouldn't like him when he's angry.

for you lucky few at designercon on saturday, you should at least be able to peek the sculpt. for all you other jealous bastards: do some pushups, communicate with your spirit animal [especially if it's a bear], fashion ninja weapons out of scrap metal... anything to keep your mind off of the fury you will feel if you miss this guy.

eyes. peeled.
