Its been so long

...and how does lemur skin reflect the sea~?


no idea, but its a great segue to let you guys know I will be at D-Con this year. You can find me at Booth #1126. I was invited to share a booth with Fred Marinello, who makes great and fun custom toys, So come check out what I got and buy something, or just say Hi, either way.

Custom Blaster Master Sophia III keshi

Custom Blaster Master Sophia III keshi, designed by me and CAD'd up by my good bud over at Brownnoize Productions.

Blaster Master holds a special place in my childhood, and to this day is still one of my favorite Nes games. As a kid I dreamt about having a toy version of the main vehicle, the Sophia III. Now 25 years later I get my Holy Grail by the super talented Brownnoize Productions who was gracious enough to help me out on this endeavor. :) Forever grateful!

Will have this sexy beast for sale soon as well. ;)

-  8-pieces of awesome
-  Price to be determined at a later date.

Diaclone Gats Blocker Keshi custom

Wow, something I never knew existed until a couple months ago. A friend of mine on Instagram @Sir_miggs posted a pic of this awesome Diaclone Gats Blocker keshi figure.

I fell in love! 18 separate pieces that combine into a 6" keshi robot~??? What is not to love. :D  I was surprised that I never knew of it before, Not that I know of all keshi ever, but I am fairly knowledged in Transformers (and Diaclone) keshi. After some talking back and fourth a few people brought up me casting this puppy up, so I jumped at the chance since I wanted one myself. :)

So @Sir_Miggs being the awesome guy he is lent me his awesome loose one (he owns sealed ones as well) to cast up and this is what I made.

 Had to do all Keshi Flesh for mine. :)

 This last one is a special all Glow one I made for my bud  @Brownnoize 

(no I will not make any more like this)

:P

Life always gets in the way... but...

So it seems life always seems to get in the way of having fun and making toys. haha

My brother who went into the Hospital for a very infected foot and ended up losing it, went into the hospital again with another infection. Hopefully he wont lose anymore of his leg, its looking good, but its one of those that needs to heal completely before finding out. sucks...

and ...

on top of that my dad was just in the hospital and had to have surgery to rearrange his intestines due to a disorder that he was born with and didnt know about. luckily it wasnt too bad and he was out in a week... now his heart is under a watchful eye due to his low hear trate he didnt know he had either. but in the end there is always a silver lining, while in there they found a carcinoma that they were able to deal with, which would have turned into cancer and he would have never know.

ugh... toys soon? hopefully! .

on a good note Justin "MetalMonkey" Gadze will be releasing his first UoV continuation series "Chaos Dimension" soon. i casted these up for him and he should have them in hand by the end of the week, so look for them soon... here on his blog! -- http://metalmonkeystudios.blogspot.com/

I have a few things in the works, that should be getting some attention and put in my store soon. Newly casted up Gumbals Laserbeasts of Sea Panic and Brown Lion, some very cool Ninja Turtles Sidekicks figures, He-man keshi (Fisto and Jitsu), and a few others... Just need to get some family duties dealt with first. :)

Also I will be having a special release of 5 Tankheads soon, so keep an eye out for that.

Hope you guys havent forgot about me. :P

Contest winner

Ive been pretty busy casting up a storm on my end, but I just wanted to thank everyone that entered my last contest!

and with that I officially name Connor Nguyen the winner! Congrats bud! It was pretty much cinched as soon as he posted what he had for trade.


I really like the idea of doing another contest, just like this one, but only asking people to offer up things other than LRGs. I pretty much only collect Japanese keshi and I have strayed away from other toy lines I used to collect and even got out of. But i still have a place in my heart for other toylines.

so starting next week Im gonna start a New Contest. I will offer up similar Figures again, at least a $100 Value to those who have some cool stuff for trade other than LRGs. Not sure what colors I will offer up, maybe some Glow and Ultra Thermal figures!

:)

Lurking in the shadows, they can't contain me.
Many have tried to stop me, but they all failed.
From the stars I will come, but I'm already here.
My children live amongst you, but you can't recognize them.
I have many cults worshiping me, but every single one of them shivers before my true form.

Who am I ?

Re-Release of UoV

This Saturday (Tomorrow), I will be re-releasing previous Universe of Violence figures.

1 - Eyeklops and Blemmya
2 - Brute and Cedargeif
3 - Big Arm
4 - Elephunt
5 - Essen
6 - Arn Hellstorm
7 - Beetle Punk

On the original 2012 figures I will be offering them in Flesh, Grape, and Orange sets (No random colors, and no custom orders will be offered). I will only have for sale in the store what I have stock of, so if it says sold out, wait a day and I should have more in stock. In the later released figures from 2013 they will be sold as listed colors (still no custom orders will be offered).

I will be adding Glow and Thermal sets individually in the store under the specific figures so check back often.

Also, Brute and Cedargeif were voted in as fan favorites so there will be a small limited release of special Gold versions of them. (Avalable starting Sunday the 16th)
