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!!!

adFunture just released images of 3 awesome new production Yoka's by 3 very deserving artists that have been at the grind doing customs for years now, so these are very well deserved.

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!

Custom Showcase Dunnys by ZAM and Jon-Paul Kaiser

One of the coolest "surprise" with my recent trip to Thailand for CLEA, was the opportunity to see two hand-painted custom Dunnys by two equally talented artists, up close! Heck, I even borrowed them for display at my booth! And of course I had to snap to my fill of these awesome work (no over-hyping here, I assure you folks) and exclusively share it with you folks here! CLICK THRU to have a look at Jon-Paul Kaiser's YETI KONG and ZAM's super-swell villain-Dunny, both completed for a swap amongst both artists!

Custom MADL Has Style

Found this great custom 6 inch vinyl MAD L toy by Zdenek55. What attracts me to the toy is its really expressive face and the base paint job(not the inkwork) that makes for a nice textured look that almost makes it look like its madde out of wood rather than plastic.
The artist has been featured at The Don O'Melveny Gallery In Los Angeles (2006), and at The THINKSPACE Gallery (2007), Phantom Gallery (2007), The Sundance Film Festival, The L.A. Biscuit Lofts Art Show (2007), Monkeyhouse Toys (2007, 2008) Gallery Hangar 1018 (2007), AlphaCult (2007) and APW NYC (2008), Gnosis Gallery (2008).

Kidrobot and Mcdonalds Toys? Great Concept Fun

Here's a signature image I saw on the Kidrobot forums that made me laugh. I believe it's a concept, because it says "It's only a matter of time". I wouldn't be surprised either, and hey I might even pick them up. Or maybe they'll be included in my happy meal? Sweet. Spotted on user Mistuh_T's signature.

Today we are getting a glimpse at designs by Reactor 88, Jim Koch, and Julie West... which all have distinct charasterics that we have come to know from each of these designers!
