New Resin Pieces by Hugh Rose: Walrus & Wooden Monkeys

8" Walrus figures by Hugh Rose

4" Walrus figure by Hugh Rose

I was very pleased to hear from the UK's Hugh Rose the other day- seems he's been busy learning how to prototype and cast his own figures! Hugh's custom pieces are always eye-popping and it's really cool to see him now working on his own designs.

The figures above are 8" and 4" resin Walrus (Walruses? Walri? I'm gonna look that up). The smaller one (above) is called 'Scrimshaw' and is etched and ink-washed in the old-timey traditional whaler style. At top is the 8" Walrus figures with hand sculpted, unique faces and tusks.

Below are Hugh's Wooden Monkeys which are 8" resin pieces, all uniquely painted.

To purchase any of Hugh's new pieces, email him at hello@hughrose.co.uk

Introducing Canmans Vinyl Toys: Coming Soon to a Shop Near You!

Canmans Series 1 (Pose, Dabs Myla, Craola, Revok)

The Canmans are a series of vinyl figures focused on graffiti artists and the art of collecting spray paint cans. There are 2 editions of the Canmans, the Artist Editions and the Blank Editions. The Artist Editions are "Limited Edition" Canmans that have been designed by some of the world's most prolific graffiti artists. Each artist creates the artwork and design for their exclusive Canman figures.

The Blank Edition is a Canman that comes with no artwork. It's a blank canvas, ready for you to do it yourself.

The Canman figures have a removable lid for storing spray paint tips and other items discreetly. Each Canman includes a "real" spray paint tip that may be interchanged with other types of spray tips!

The Canmans were originally conceived by Tyke (Witnes) of AWR and Toynami (www.toynami.com). Series 1 includes Pose, Dabs Myla, Craola & Revok.  Series 2 includes Ewok, Rime, Tyke & Persue.

CHOOSE YOUR FATE Custom OTMFG 3DRetro Robot by Ersico

The 15th was what, Tuesday?  This little guy barely had enough time to hit the mailbox before Eric Sorrells started putting his custom magic on it.  And I really dig the spin he gave this minifigure from October Toys and 3DRetro.  Giving the head a green paint app changed the whole concept of the figure, from clockwork monster to a "lil green wormy pilot" of a steam-powered suit of armor.  The metal finish, detailing and other tweaks Eric gave this piece really make it pop.  You can add it to your shelves now, at the Ersico webstore.
