VATO-BOTS - HOMIES IN DISGUISE

BAM!! We are back with more resin goodness! The Vato-Bots are mini-figures straight from the Barrios of Los Cyberlon. The figure is hand cast in white resin, then hand painted. the figure is available in six colors (for the first run) and come packaged in a baggie with a custom header card. If you would like to scoop one of these up before they're gone, please stop by our shop today! The Vato-Bots make great stocking stuffers, I'm just sayin'.........

Thanks for stopping By Ya'll,
Happy Holidays!

Special Delivery - Red Army Muscle Men, Micro Cupcake Kaiju, and Jeff Lamm's Greasebat!

We are back! And I've decided to do something a tad different on this fourth edition of Special Delivery, I'm taking on not one, but THREE reviews in one posting!! I think Evil Knievel tried this once and broke something.. important, No matter! We shall begin the reviews today with the super awesome, interchangeable, resin figure from Planet Banimon, Red Army Muscle Men! Here's a bit about Red Army Muscle Men from the mouths of Banimon..

"Each Red Army Muscle Man is 1" tall, has 16 separate parts and is made of super durable, full color injection molded PVC plastic. Includes a bonus Banigoth Warrior head. Unpainted M.U.S.C.L.E. pink/flesh.All parts are completely interchangeable with all Glyos System Series figures."

So there you have it, this is one Hella fun figure that displays great. And with their interchangeable parts, Red Army Muscle Men is a great figure building system that (In My humble opinion) rivals Glyos. My figure can be broken down to eight pieces, or ten if you include the bonus helmet and sword. All pieces are easy to take apart, and reassemble, making figure customizing a breeze. 

Another great thing about R.A.M.M figures, the price! at a mere $7 these sweet figures are truly a steal. Get yours, while you still can, by visiting the Planet Banimon store today! 

Next up today we take a look at Rampage Toys, Micro Cupcake Kaiju! The Micro Cupcake is a cute little sucker that stands under an inch high, and is cast in blue resin. Peter Kato's cupcake sculpt looks great in the mini-figure format,and would make a perfect addition to your mini-figure collection. The icing on the cupcake (tee hee) is the super cool header card art. This figure is made available exclusively at Tenacious Toys webstore. For only four bucks, how can you lose? Trust Me, You'll love Him :) Also, be sure to check out even more awesomeness from Peter Kato by visiting His official website today!

Last up today, and certainly not least, is Jeff Lamm's Micro-Greasebat! First glances of this toy would lead you to believe that it's a resin figure..Nope! Standing at a mere 2" high, this cool little fella is an articulated vinyl figure! That's right Greasebat fans, with his head swivel action, GB can stare down your other vinyl toys, or pull a full out Linda Blair! Monster 5, and Monster Worship, did a great job sculpting Lamm's famed creature. All the details truly pop in the shiny orange vinyl. And finally, the figure packaging features original header art by Jeff Lamm Himself! Unfortunately, I believe this item is sold out in the Monster Worship store, But I'm sure you can track one down somewhere :) Good hunting, and thanks for stopping by!

BLACK METAL BUDDIES DEBUT!

That's right folks, My line of Black Metal Buddies mini-figures make their debut today with the first figure in the series, Abyss! Abyss is the front man for the Norwegian Black Metal Band, Darkest Throne (Not to be confused with the actual band, Dark Throne) He is a resin figure hand sculpted, hand cast, hand painted by yours truly, and limited to seven pieces. He stands 2.5" tall and comes hand numbered with a signed header card I designed. Since all seven pieces are hand painted with some post production sculpt modifications here and there, no two figures are exactly alike. Special shout out to by boy Plex, of Donkey Jaw Projects for the constant support and encouragement. Figure two is currently nearing completion in the sculpting stage, stay tuned for a release date... You can get your very own Abyss figure by visiting our official store. Thanks for looking!
