mutant vinyl hardcore!

a lovely hoth vacation.

i have no idea how i missed something as incredible as this, but i did. created by toybot studios, it's a custom musyubel turned serene hoth wampa. it was part of the kaijin show at kaiju blue last year.

[here's their english blog.]

partnered with a sparkly luke, a purple tauntaun and a mini parasitic blobpus, this is one beautifully dreamy piece.

one rabid rebel for sale!

makes a great dinner! has a real stingy stick!

please take him before i lose more limbs...

no? guess i'll toss him on craigslist.

step right up. two tickets to malkovich this big fucker...

ok, one ticket... and the rest of your elephant ear.

getting so sleepy.

must stop spaghetti from leaking out of arm.

also part of the show was this gorgeous bastard from skull toys.

caught red-handed. eyes a little dilated.

be at peace with your demons.

mutant vinyl hardcore might sound like a biker/fetish/snuff film, but it's not. it's better. mvh is the company created by lash, [the kaiju killer] and he's getting dangerously close to releasing his first piece of japanese vinyl, the sludge demon. and it looks sick; like a rampaging toxic buddha.

pretty fucking dynamic sculpt for something shaped like a baseball.

if the plague contracted syphilis,

and then shot up some ebola...

the little guy looks fast too.

probably not fast enough to escape the stank though.

i smell photoshoot at la brea...

i'm just floored by how much movement you feel from this guy. he feels squirmy and boiling like the boar demon in princess mononoke. crazy. lash has also posted some samples of the flake that will infect some of the pulls. i might have to make a little space on a shelf for this one. stay updated at mvh, or tell lash how much you dig it over at skullbrain.

candy coated chokehold.

why can't i quit you mongolion? you're just too badass. especially this screaming bruise of a beast by l'amour supreme, who's got some serious warpaint. this exquisite little demon was tossed up on flickr by pata the frenchman; who has quite the colorful collection [seen below] and a slick eye with the camera. nice little treasures for a friday afternoon.

he's been practicing his haka face.

or unleashing a hellacious fart.

either one.

these are not the toys you're looking for...

actually they are, but he looks like he's pulling a jedi mind trick.

aaaand the money shot.

amazingly colorful, like a class full of middle schoolers in d.c.

except without all the making out in the back of the bus.

you gotta respect the power of the dark side.

be sure to clean your mushrooms.

the gnomes are attacking. they've developed some serious biofungal weaponry that eats you from the inside. they've already wiped out the smurfs and now they've moved on to some formidable forest demons. these bizarre half insect half plant monstrosities are the work of monstock. [gnome special forces] based on a real life phenomena explained here by japvinyl,

tochukaso yggdradon is the crazy kaiju result.

and this is why you call a plumber.

aww. he's almost cute for an ugly fucker.

lesson: don't microwave your peeps for more than 5 minutes...

i have no interest in actually putting one of these beasts in my home, but it makes me happy to know that there are people out there stretching the boundaries. incredibly creative results like this only serve to inspire other magnitudes of awesome. the easter colored bastard in the last picture looks like he'd fit right into the ecosystem

of the gaean trilogy by john varley. titan/wizard/demon. which, if you haven't read, i highly recommend.

...bitchin.

huffing vinyl.

field trip!

so the reason you got no posts for a week was because i was in chicago earning dollars. with the 5% of my time that i wasn't working,

i went to rotofugi. and it was awesome. met kirby and whitney. experienced a dunny trading party. saw a deer head being traded for some baseman vinyl. yes, a real deer head. and peeped their massive in-store selection. so here's my book report.

the neverending line of dunny addicts.

piles of colorful goodness.

polar bears fuckin rock y'all.

two large martin war machines and a peacemaker.

they kinda cancel each other out.

chickens away!

just a badass bronze army man storming the bastille.

blind box attack mode.

eye patches. popular with crappy cats and bitchin lincolns.

jealous.

coarse v. akira motorcycle.

two faithful guardians.

my six-faced nut-kickin souvenir.

the lesson for the day is go to chicago. not only for hotdogs and pizza, but for toys! and rotofugi is the place to buy those toys. visit them and they will take care of you.

karma chameleons.

i went to toy karma.

it was like willy wonka's factory. colorful. bizarre. dangerous?

a lot of fantastically detailed work by some toy-lovin fools.

respect the bear steed.

bring on the panthor variants...

looks like dinner for the zag...

but you don't mess with the clawed creamsicle.

invisible prey is scared shitless.

candy-coated stoners.

waiting for his kiss.

blasted in the ass by the mongler sherman.

like pompeii...

...with godzilla.

you can still buy a decent number of these guys. they're all very anxious to take over your shelves. support the artists and shops that make sweet things like this melt in your mouth.

toy karma iii is two years away... what are you going to create?

all pics came off my shitty iphone camera.

your kaiju looks infected.

click to see all 340+ monsters in their technicolor glory

i want to understand the attraction. the powerful pull of craftsmanship and small run numbers... but i don't. help me to see the light.

why do you love kaiju?
