Kirkland Jue (Toybot Studios) for Humans Beware @ Rocketworld (Apr 11)
The "spirit" of Kikada rides fast and proud in KITIUS & SIDE MACHINE = Kirkland Jue's submission for this weekend's HUMANS BEWARE group customs show @ Rocketworld (April 11th / tagged).
CLICK THRU for a wee Q&A with Kirkland about the conception of his custom (as well as more pics) - or go direct to Toybot Studios-blog for full image array!
TOYSREVIL: What made you decide on the Kikada custom?
KIRKLAND JUE: I grew up with Kikaida and have a few Kikaida-themed customs. When I saw the Vespa scooter, my first thought was to make the Side Machine motorcycle.
TOYSREVIL: What went into the making of the sidecar?
KIRKLAND JUE: The sidecar is made of epoxy putty over a small bottle I cut up. It was really my first try at sculpting anything and I learned it's a lot harder than it looks.
TOYSREVIL: Who's the little one in the side-car? And I'm lurving the clear skull-dome on Kitius too - what is it made out of?
KIRKLAND JUE: The little guy in the side car is supposed to be Hakaider who is really Kikaida's enemy! The figure is a limited edition IWG Snow Monkey named Hanzo. The clear skull-dome is made of vinyl. It was a bitch to put together.
TOYSREVIL: Well, one man's hard work is another dude's visual enjoyment! Ride-ON, Kititus! Ride-ON, Kirkland!
