2 Tone Series Gary Baseman

Gary Baseman has done it again with 2 great pieces in the 2 tone series.

These 2 pieces are a definite for me.

Custom Munny "Princess Byakko (White Tiger)" by KingQuan

KingQuan just sent up the first images of his custom piece for the Milk Munny Exhibit, titled "Princess Byakko (White Tiger)" and it looks awesome! The bold black against pearly white really make this Munny stand out, and with a few of KingQuan's trademark cherry blossoms... this is one beautiful custom!!

"Milk Munny" is a group show at Monorchid in Phoenix, AZ to raise breast cancer awareness. Check out their website for more information, or if you are in the Phoenix area between October 1 and 3 just stop by the gallery to see KingQuan's White Tiger in person!

Kidrobot's 2tone Dunny series

It's here! Kidrobot's 2tone Dunny Series just dropped, and, thanks to Neon Monster, we are happy to present some of the first exclusive reveals. The lineup features standard figures by Ryan Bubnis, Aaron Meshon, Huck Gee, Tad Carpenter, Steven Harrington, Chuckboy, Maxx242, Pon, Doktor A and Aya Kakeda, a mystery figure by Maxx242, figures with unknown ratios by Angry Woebots and mcbess and a rare chase by Gary Baseman.
The 2tone Dunny Series is like the Endangered Dunny Series in that it is in limited release and available only through select Kidrobot resellers. Although you can see that not all of the Dunnys in this series follow the strict definition of "2tone," Neon Monster told us that the case they opened contained every figure listed except the Huck standard and the Baseman chase. Not a bad ratio! Hop over to their blog to see photos of all their 2tone Dunny pulls.

Our stock will be arriving late next week so watch this space for more details.

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!
