Thanks to Paul for selling this one to me. So happy she's with my other Fatima. They belong together.
Customized Angry Woebots Gazer Busts for SDCC2012. Limited to 10, with 1 each of Gold and Onyx chases.
A special 3 pack of the BentWorld: Beats figures. Can't go wrong with this trio to get the party going. Available now!
Together with 5 other designers I was invited to repaint 6 of the Designer Toys XL for the ‘Night of culture’ in Breda. Each Toy represented one of the nominees for the Rabobank Culture Award 2011. My nominee was Bredaphoto.
STRANGEco has the nicest staff on earth, seriously. Bambi probably had to let a bunch of people down easy that James Jarvis’ Martin X SE figure sold out on Black Friday and didn’t make it to VTN as part of the previously announced exclusives. However, the absence of one figure inevitably enabled the purchasing of others: STRANGEco had a couple other editions of Martin, as well as a GID Lorbo by Jim Woodring, the tree edition of Julie West’s Bumble and Tweet, some more Shikito from Superdeux, a special edition Captain Coco by tokidoki, some full Vivisect Playsets, plenty of mini King Kens (including the SDCC gold) and some figures by Greg “Craola” Simkins. Plus free stickers, pins and postcards for all!

I sometimes wonder if Frank Kozik gets tired of answering the same questions over and over. While I was circulating the VTN floor, Frank was attended to by various camera crews and fans waiting for signings. He had a ton of merch from hand-painted exclusives to Sharkys and Muttpop and kaiju figures to some Qees and Dunnys and Smorkin’ this-n-that and Kidrobot gear. I think he was willing to engage in the unusual-for-toy-conventions behavior of bargaining. Like a few other vendors, he had an “economic recession” discount bin.

No self-respecting vinyl toy convention can go on without a custom show, and VTN didn’t disappoint with a selection of 15-inch interpretations of its mascot, Vinnie. For such a giant and rotund original, the asking prices–even during the economic recession that was on everyone’s mind during the event–were pretty great. Really nice cartoony work that went all the way around the figures. Most of the artists have full turnarounds on their websites and blogs (I just checked). The customizers included Scott Tolleson, Ragnar, Miss Mindy and CJ Metzger, Jim Mahfood, Erick Scarecrow, Andrew Bell and a plush Vinnie by Amy Vutiya.
