OUR DAY AT THE EAST OF THE RIVER COMICS & COLLECTIBLES SHOW

Well, We went, we saw, and we conquered the 2014' East Of The River Comic Book & Collectibles show! Our good buddy, and fellow artisan, Mike Valade joined us that day,and we had ourselves a good ol' time. We met some very cool people, got interviewed by a podcast show, and even sold some product. Couldn't ask for much more in a show. A special thanks for all the people that took part in making this show happen, and giving us a place to showcase our work, Cheers! HERE is a link to our interview with The B & M Baked Podcast. Hope you enjoy!

CRYING GULL TOYS PRESENTS - ULTRA PALS!

We are back with some killer customs of a different kind, Ultra Pals! The Ultra Pals were made using Creatology resin blanks I found at Michaels, and feature custom paint work, and sculpting modifications to resemble Japan's favorite superhero, Ultraman! The Ultra Pals measure in at 2.5"  tall and come in two versions, Ultra Frog, and Ultra Monkey. There are only two of these bad  boys on the planet, and they will be made available exclusively at the upcoming East Of The River Comic Book & Collectibles Show on Sunday, February 23rd at The Golden Gavel Plaza in lovely East Windsor, CT. The show runs from 10am-3pm so come early if you want to get your paws on these. If these customs are still available at shows end, I will promptly put them up for sale in our shop.

MERRY X-MAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM CGT!

                   

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!

To get your hands on these figures, and even more from the world of Peter Kato, stop by His  official website today! Tell Em,' Large Marge sent ya' :)

Happy Holidays Kids!
