PHU's "Rebel" Yoka vector turnarounds...


Last but not least in the line of production Yoka's set to be released at this years NYCC 2010 via the MyPlasticHeart booth #2879 for $15 each, is none other than PHU as he brings his futuristic neo-nuclear designs to this platform toy. The color pallet is not very dynamic as it's grayscale, but what it lacks in color it really makes up in design as this figure looks great! adFunture did another stellar job on this piece and a huge congrats goes out to PHU for being recognized and getting in on this fierce threesome along with Mortorbot and Reactor-88!

"Roadkill Motorcycle Club" custom by Hugh Rose


We have been dazzled with custom from Hugh Rose before, but instead of his normal affair we are familiar with, Hugh took a new approach to customizing his latest Munny commission as he dug a little deep into the dark side of his mind to created the "Roadkill Motorcycle Club" custom. This figure is 100% awesome, from the color pallet used to the amazing detailing of line work and textures throughout the entire piece... really cool! This was commissioned by CTU member Matt A. and if your looking for a sick custom, hit up Hugh via mail.to:hrose6161@hotmail.co.uk as he is available to do your bidding :-)

Sket One's custom 8" Bacon Swine Flu Edition


Now this is some great news... artist Sket One does a fantastic job of creating a character and transferring it to different platforms... and that is exactly what he has done with his "Bacon" character. First seen on a 3" Dunny, then on a 3" Bic Buddy, and hopefully soon a 5" MAD*l this character has some charisma, and now this Friday, March 12th, 2010 at 12PM PST, Sket One will be releasing an edition of 10, 8" custom "Swine Flu Edition' Dunny's! These awfully gory customs come decked out in scrubs, and a blood filled syringe. Each is signed, numbered and will retail for $475 at Sket's Big Cartel Store HERE... these are great, that syringe is a nice touch for sure!

Gizmo gets the MEGA treatment...


Artist Kristy Anne Ligones has been featured on here before where she tackled the 8" Dubai based platform MEGA figure... and well, she did it again on the same platform, as she created a really cool custom of Gizmo from Gremlins! She also added a surprise Lil' Gremlin or Mogwai in his bag... really great use of this platform and another stellar custom from Kristy!

Custom 10" Teddy Troop from Rsin


Rsin continues to wow us all with his amazing customs. He made this rad Teddy Troop for a fellow KidRobot forum boardie to go in their kids nursery/bed room... LUCKY kid!!!! Rsin says that he "Wasn't given anything specific to do, except make it kinda panda in the whisper style. I wanted to use bright colors and also make it a bit shinny, both things I know young children are drawn too." So he took that direction and ran with it and sculpted out the face, stomach, and added some wicked looking ears then he added his patented whisper face to both the helmet and the face. The colors that Rsin uses really make the figures pop... and each one he completes they get tighter and tighter... amazing! Hit up his Flickr HERE for more pics including a dope 20" custom Van Orlax!!!

All three of these are set to be released at this year's NYCC... more details as they roll in, but congrats to all 3 of these artists once again!
