Plush by Cat Rabbit




















Plush from Australian artist Cat Rabbit is now in the shop!

Her creations are truly fantastic. Some of the plush are hybrid cats and some are zombie cats. I love the little handmade bones and chunks of meat that some of them come with.

Good thing that some these little guys brought their coats and scarves in preparation for the cold Winnipeg winter.



You can find them in the shop here.

Marnon KT exclusive at Grumble Toy











What can we say......this picture probably speaks for itself.
This new sculpt from Dream Rocket is awesome! It is a recent release and it is called Marnon.
This particular version with the gold back is a Kaiju Taro colour exclusive.

It is available in our shop now.

We also have one unpainted Marnon available here.

Nekonoko

Ever since it first came out, Nekonoko has been one of my favorites. These are some of the versions that have been made of the Nekonoko figure. The paint job on the figures is quite nice. It almost has a hand-painted look to it.



These figures were produced as a collaboration between Wonderwall and Toy2R as part of their 'Galle-Colle Favorite Artist' series. They are based on drawings done by Nekonoko.

Nekonoko has a really great website. It is a little hard to navigate because it is all in Japanese but there are some really great drawings on it. Here are a couple examples of the artwork.


I really love the colours. You can check the Nekonoko website out for yourself by clicking here.

Octopus




This is a figure that I recently completed.
It is an octopus, though it has more than eight legs.





It is handmade out of polymer clay and has a hand-painted finish in pinks and reds with a light dusting of gold.
It stands approximately 3.5 inches tall.


It is a one of kind piece and can be found in the shop here.

Upcoming Ideas


Hi everyone.
This is an idea that I have been dreaming about for quite awhile. I have been wanting to make plush for the shop for a very long time and hopefully in the next few weeks this will be a reality. This is one of the characters that I am going to try to make. His name is Bonhomme of Winnipeg. He is a friendly snow gremlin of sorts. The plush might not turn out exactly like the drawing but I will keep you updated on the progress.



I have a few other characters that I am going to try to make ..... more on that later.

More Zags available....

Hi everyone.
We now have more Zags available in the shop!

They are the clear, glow-in-the-dark version recently released by Gargamel.
It is a standard sized figure and at almost 10 inches tall, this Zag is definitely an impressive piece of vinyl!

You can find them in our shop here.

This Zag was designed and produced by Gargamel.

Dream Rocket/KT Gazura exclusive is here!

Grumble Toy has received one of each colour version of Kaiju Taro's exclusive of Gazura to sell in the shop. The figure comes in green, blue, orange, pink and purple.
This is a really great figure whose neck can be extended about an inch. The paint job is very different from the past colour versions. The body is shiny black with bright fluorescent spots and subtle silver details. The horns contrast slightly with the body with a nice matte texture. The picture that we have here doesn't quite do this figure justice. It is difficult to see the fine details of the silver and black.

Follow these links to find Gazura in our shop.
pink, blue, green, orange, purple

Coming soon.......

Just thought we would give you all a little sneak peek at what is coming soon to Grumble Toy.

In a few weeks we will be receiving some plush from Cat-Rabbit. Cat-Rabbit is an artist from Hobart, Australia. We are really excited that we are going to have her creations in the shop. Each one is hand-sewn without a pattern. Therefore each is unique and has its own charming personality.
The cute, fuzzy, little guy pictured above is one of Cat-Rabbit's hybrid cat plushes. We will also be getting some of her zombie cats into the shop. Let me assure you that they are proof that zombies can be both creepy and cute!

You can check out some of Cat-Rabbits other creations on her website:

Naruton

We thought we would share this picture of the large Naruton.
Naruton is a character that was designed by Amapro in Japan. His face is based on an ingredient sometimes found in Japanese soup.

Naruton is a very funny character indeed. :)
