Special Delivery: Awesomeness Courtesy Of Peter Kato!


For this edition of Special Delivery, I've decided to share some resin goodness I ordered from Mr. Peter Kato recently. Just in time for the Holidays, these super cool resin mini-figures are works of art that look they came straight from Santa's toyshop. The first figure, Army Jack, is a stylized version of the timeless green plastic Army men. I never thought someone would be ably to put a spin on the classic toy, But Mr.Kato ups the cuteness factor, and shrinks the figure to a microscopic 1"! The hand made header card is also very cool, the minimalist approach really compliments the figure.

Here's a little on the figure straight from Peter's website: "They are the human soldiers in the Earth Defense Force. They aid  "Megas"( Mega's are the descriptions for Giant Robots, Kaiju etc) that are on the side of earth. These good guys are armed with a blowtorch with details to their fuel backpacks. They are the grunts that will see the mission through..and through."

At a mere $5, these little bad boys are a must have for your mini-figure collection, AND they make sweet stocking stuffers!

Next up to bat, Good Guy Jets! At first glance, These tiny resin robots are reminiscent of Gobots, Transformers, or 70's/80's era Japanese Mecha by design. At the same time, they appear to be mini statues made of glass. Sound cool? It should, these inch high warriors are true pieces of art made with a translucent resin tinted blue, and they feature metallic paint accents. Oh, Did I mention that when you turn your Good Guy Jet backwards He turns into a jet?! He doesn't literally transform, but the low tech approach is just as cool in my eyes. Mr. Kato simply sculpted a jet on the backside of the figure, Brilliant! And like Army Jacks, Good Guy Jet comes with a rather spiffy header card.

Mr. Kato even included a cool little sketch of Good Guy Jet, and some sweet pins with my order, Thanks Man!
