strangeco @ san diego comic convention 2008 (part three)

For the 3rd part of StrangeCo's upcoming releases planned for San Diego Comic Con [part ONE / TWO] - the focus is now on Max Toy Company's goodies! For this year at SDCC, Mark Nagata (head-honcho of MTC / blog) has created a whole series of limited releases, most of them that he hand-painted himself. And with the listed quantity of the items available, it is very limited indeed, IMHO (even to a "kaiju-touristo" like me!) CLICK THRU TO FIND OUT WHAT THEY ARE

TRIPASU - Cronic x Max Toy Company (US$70):

Cronic is a Japanese workshop run by Naoki Koiwa, who has made a name for himself by sculpting and producing super limited run kaiju designs. Tripasu sculpted and produced in Japan by Cronic, based on Mark's design, and hand-painted by Mark. Only 15 have been painted for the show.

PHAROAHS (SDCC edition / US$70):
- Rumble Monsters (hand-painted by Mark Nagata)

Another super limited edition figure by Japanese DIY toy company Rumble Monsters - Pharoahs is a classic toy mold, which is hand-painted by Mark and is limited to an edition of 5.

EYEZON - Max Toy Company (US$65 / hand-painted by Mark Nagata):

Eyezon is a mutant potato monster, fully designed and produced by Max Toy Co. Mark has hand-painted 16 Eyezons in this very cool gold color version. It's a clear figure with visible guts. ("Visible guts" are always cool, IMHO :p)

BOOSKA - GLOW IN THE DARK (US$50):
- Max Toy Company, designed by Martin Ontiveros

Booska [tagged] is one of the most iconic characters from the golden age of Japanese television - this version has been re-interpreted by Portland artist Martin Ontiveros for Max Toy Company. Only 40 pieces available during Comic Con.
