don't eat things you find in the forest.

what the hell are you doing here reading this? do you realize that there are world cup games on? you do? alright cool, 2 minutes here and then you go watch, deal?

got a glimpse of an in progress figure from paul kaiju. (working in collab with monstrehero cliff) some wicked little woodland monsters. boxer fungus and three creepy trees. they're looking pretty slick in their naked form. can't wait to see them taken to the psychedelic level with one of paul's colorful paintjobs.

this is what mario really looks like on shrooms.

give this man a wrench and watch him smash turtles...

aww, he named one after me.

the overload looking dude is pollen kaiser.

needs more spikes on that helmet.

there will be [more] blood.

general zoo has crossed to the dark side. well, darker than a body ripped in half dripping blood from its exposed skeleton... actually that isn't really any darker, it's kinda the same. except now he's got kind of an s&m leather thing going on... he'd make a very sexy samurai sith lord.

regardless of the depth of his propensity for evil, general zoo strikes quite a wicked silhouette. accented even more strongly by this new newspaper color combo. soon to be released by artoyz, there will be only 54. feel free to make up your own epic story about the 54 generals who bravely defended their fortress from the hordes of attacking barbarians.

chapstick will not relieve semi-severed lips.

...you need carmex for that.

fat vader here really needs to watch where he's drippin...

he's covering up all my old blood stains.

mr. barkley goes to war.

the teens in spring fall mainly for the fling.

here's something for ya. grab a duffle bag, fill it with tanktops and head to chicago to meet hello, brute in two weeks. jon has got a solo show starting up at rotofugi on the 9th of april. it's called teen dream, and you should be there because it will be awesome. he's promised paintings and drawings in addition to his wicked resin residents.

bonus points for anyone that draws an anchor on their chest with sharpie.

and because you can't have a proper solo show without some crazy new shit... jon is collaborating with felt mistress on some killer new plush of his characters. i must say, these look pretty incredible. they're like hip muppets... ummm, hippets?

just hanging out behind the 7-11, shooting up yarn.

aaaannd apparently yarn possession carries a 5 year sentence.

the latest released toy: pepper. he's 9"

and maybe it's just a weird shadow...

but pepper looks like he's packing some heat in those day glos

he's gonna need a meat cleaver to shave hairs that thick.

another 9 incher in the works...

prep-school love has some huge potential.

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.

what is that? lipstick?

oh god... oh god, what is that? it's just so... wrong. wrong because of the shit-eating grin. wrong because of the lloyd christmas haircut. wrong because of the antlers. the glasses. the little peg ears. the fleshy-hoofed body. wrong because of the wang-ness. so, so, so wrong, and yet kind of right. it's lesley.

lesley is german. he's also a one-of-a-kind hand-painted resin monstrosity. eleven inches of... height, and one or two of something else. he's admittedly stomach churning, but somehow pretty damn awesome. sculpted and painted by andy of denada, lesley is for sale on their site for $535.

who wants to ride lesley in the 7-legged race?

nobody? come on...

it's not bad, he moisturizes.

dear lord, think of the extra creep factor of braces and headgear.

a champion's a champion. hard to argue there.

you gave him tiny infant balls but no butthole?

so tell me you aren't just a little intrigued now. how sweet would it be to have a lesley and a squire side-by-side in your guest room to wake your grandparents next thanksgiving. or just in the middle of the living room to freak the fuck out of your dog. think of the possibilities!

squire image from NOWhere gallery

tell me that's not a match made in heaven...

a special thank you to andy for making my tuesday special.

pizza and grease.

I, II, III, IV... four mutant pizza men on the floor. after the metal madness of mr. odobenus, iii's back and dirtier than ever. pizza man and sam sickmen are all greased up and ready to shoot out on friday at liver diet. the resin freakshow spectacular continues. come meet the new misfits. iii's got some great shots of the process on his blog.

you like my vest? you wanna lick it?

just an awesome shot of a man smothering a child.

pizza man: the official story [which rocks]

"Pizza Man's love for pizza is the cause of his lost arm. After a drunken night he ate his pizza so fast he didn't realize he had eaten half of his arm off. The most tragic part is, he had a perfectly good slice in his other hand... Is that pizza sauce or blood on his face? We will never know."

ma! i'm outta fucking pizza!

again!

the four thumbs barbershop quartet.

hangnails and the bruise brothers.

sam sickmen: the official story [which also rocks]

"Sam Sickmen is the ugliest kid you will ever see. He chooses to have awful hygiene to hide his parent's wealth. No matter how bad he smells, he still wears the nice clothes his parents bought him. Sorry Sam, you're not fooling anyone."

i pledge allegiance to the filth.

dandruff and scabs are my only friends.

laid to rest in a coffin of clay.

iii just owns his style. these new guys are awesome. and with only four of each available, they will go fast. i can't wait until he's 10 figures deep and we can see the whole fucked up neighborhood in one shot. i also want to see some with weapons...

grizzled warrior bones.

what's half a general? a major general? or a colonel? although general zoo is really more like 3/4. so maybe that makes him a lieutenant general? all those stars are confusing.

what's not confusing is how awesome this guy is. bloody skeleton with overgrown hippie hair and pseudo-armor? bad. ass. i wish he wasn't so limited in number, because i'm pretty sure i need one. he was just released today, so you still have a chance. head towards the light.

a war santa from the dark side.

he only delivers pain.

pretty sure that's called scoliosis.

didn't you get checked in gym? dumbass.

is that a ribcage or a holding cell? damn.

oh wait. did i not mention that his bones

are held together with magnets? what a dick.

HIS BONES ARE HELD TOGETHER WITH MAGNETS.

does he come with a working flamethrower too?

how much cooler can he get?

early proto shot from toysrevil

looks like at one point he had a helmet.

and the other half of his face.

guess he wasn't wearing his helmet.

there will be 27 happy dudes on christmas morning.

so here's the whole rundown.

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.

bask in the glow of the golden god.

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.

the brilliant depths of hell.

he fell through the crust, coring his way deeper and deeper through layer after layer of rock and clay. then the caverns: momentary reprieves from the assault his damnation was delivering. over and over he was ripped apart and smashed back together until he breached the hollow core. he was almost relieved to be reaching the orange flames of hell. his fall continued through blue flames. then green. red followed yellow as he meteored into the sticky floor. wave after wave of flaming color consumed his body with pain of every kind. the pantone prison swirled around him, and in between blinding flashes of white,

he realized how beautiful it all was.

brent nolasco has created an absolutely breathtaking 20" dunny. incredible colors and just enough clay to demonize that face.

the stumpy tusks soften him nicely. i could stare at this all day.

he might also be hatching eggs out of his cheeks.

the king of carrot flowers is a mean bitch.

...which is a perfect time to bring up brent's first original figure, gordo. halloween released by myplasticheart in new york. don't get too excited though. he's already sold out. this blueberry gremlin is a trash digger. this is gordo's official story.

"Just off of Main Street, in every town, lives a foraging monster, named Gordo. You can find him standing over a box of leftovers, fishing out that last crumb, and licking the containers dry. His will to eat overcomes his need to stop, always chasing the next tasty snack. Backyards and garbage cans are his buffet. After a long day of gorging, he falls into a food coma, only to awake hungry and repeat the cycle. His stomach is a bottomless pit. Who knows what he will eat next."

made of resin and hand painted with dragon's tears.

gordo is an incredible little fucker.

great proportions and as always, a killer color combo.

all gordo shots from vinylpulse

monster law requires 2 years of military service for all forager class beasts.

gordo's mother and father.

mother of course, ate father.

a purple metal mullet?

rock. on.

i am a sucker for the blank army shot.

like terra cotta warriors from your toilet.

this makes my hand cramp just looking at it.

yes, that is brent himself.

brent is turning up the heat. i already loved his work, but this is getting ridiculous. hopefully the quick sell-out means the next little demon will be quickly nipping at gordo's heels.

as always, brent lives here.

pretty pictures here.
