Blobpus DX!!!

After a long wait, Blobpus Dx is now in the shop!
Thank you to those who pre-ordered the figure for your patience. Yours will ship out shortly. :)

I must say that this figure was well worth the wait. It is awesome!
The painted vinyl inserts inside the clear vinyl look really cool.


Find the Blobpus in the shop here.

More Bonhommes


Well I have been working very hard on making more Bonhommes for the shop. They are going to be an edition of 10.

However, even though they are an edition of 10, each Bonhomme of Winnipeg is unique and a one of a kind. They each have their own facial expressions and personality.


They will have handmade tags indicating their edition number. I am really excited about the Bonhommes and I hope that you are too. I can't wait to have these guys up in the shop. Each Bonhomme is also going to include a print of the original drawing that they were inspired from.


It will still be another week or so before I have them completely finished, but I will let you all know when they are available.

Pink Elephant featuring Drunky McSkunky

This is the Pink Elephant featuring Drunky McSkunky by Amanda Visell. She is an artist based in Los Angeles California. I really love this figure. There are magnets on Drunky's butt that allow him to stay on the elephant........ no matter how drunk he becomes. It is hard to tell in the photo but the vinyl has a very nice texture. Parts almost look like fake wood grain.

This figure was produced by Munky King and it was the first vinyl figure made of her art. However Amanda Visell had previously made a few limited edition resin figures of her characters.

If you are interested you can find the elephant in our shop here.
(Now sold out thank you)



Here are a couple examples of her art and resin figures. For more pictures of her stuff, check out her website and her blog.



The Giraffe above was sculpted by Pretty in Plastic and hand-painted by Amanda Visell.

Dust monster by Buta-no-hana


This is the Gomira dust monster by Buta-no-hana.
What is a dust monster you ask. Check out this short video to find out.




This Japanese vacuum cleaner commercial was first released in the early 1970's. I really wish we had commercials like this in Canada.

Ilanena/Grumble Toy exclusive release time

The Grumble Toy/ Ilanena exclusive will go on sale at 7:00pm Central Standard Time on January 15th, 2008.

It is a limited edition of 30 sets.

Plush!

Hi!

I just finished Bonhomme of Winnipeg and I am quite happy with the results. It didn't turn out exactly like the drawing but I think that it is pretty close. Here are a couple of pictures of him. I hope to have him available in the shop soon.




I also recently finished a couple of other new plush. They are part of Ookie's family. This is Mookie. He is Ookie's bigger brother.


This is Ookie's sister Izzy. I also hope to have some of these guys available soon. I will keep you all updated. Check out the link to our Flickr account for more pictures. The link is located on the left.
