The World Of Toys on TOYSREVIL (Jan/5/2011)
TOYSREVIL never really had the opportunity to pimp …eerr… I meant "present" Argonauts Resin's new-sculpt KNGS OF ATLANTIS "properly" in the past year (hey, blame my stroke! I'm al about pimping AR, yo!).And mow after a successful year-end release, AR is releasing the Metallic Purple colorway of their 10th designer resin on http://argonautresins.bigcartel.com!
Priced at US$100.00 (sans shipping) - the SEA KING set will come complete with a Eric Nocella Diaz designed and sculpted King skull, along with a matching Talisman resin magnet, a signed certificate of authenticity from END and a special handmade custom crate design package.
With his first incarnation as self-made "Wooden Bats", Gary Ham (designer of Carrot Shake Jake / Interviewed in 2008) has gone and self-produced his character as a 8" tall vinyl figure named HERMEES!
With a wing span of 12" and has 8 points of articulation (head, snout, wings, hands, and feet)., and in an edition size of 200 cps. Hermees has a SRP of US$45, and is currently distributed by DKE Toys (hurry, go bug your fav retailers about this!) - OR - you can been check out Gary's webstore directly @ http://www.superham.bigcartel.com/!
Hermees is a trickster and international traveler. He's developed
quite the reputation and depending on where his journey's take him,
he could bring luck, happiness, longevity, disease, or even . . . DEATH.
Making a surprising appearance, and even bigger splash in SCCC was artist Jeff Soto's THE SEEKER [tagged] - made by Bigshot Toyworks. Now after all the earlier gawking and subtle computer-screen-touching (from me included, I will not lie), BGTW announced at the end of 2010 a new variant in the form of the GID "Toxic Glow" figure(shown above and Sold Out) & the availability of Special Collector Sets.
Limited to only 50 sets, the above-posted Seeker Collector Set will include all 8 variants of the 11" tall vinyl figure (Aether, Fire, Water, Earth, Ice, Groove, Ghost, and Toxic), as well as a 154-page "Storm Clouds" artbook, limited edition offset lithograph print, signed uncut Seeker Box, and a 5.5" square original watercolor painting by Jeff Soto. Price-tag is US$950 for the set, and you would be honored to score it online via www.bigshottoystore.com. (Did I mention the original value is tagged at US$1,400?)
We first had a glimpse of Hot Toys' Iron Man 2: Mark V Limited Edition Collectible Figurine at the 2010 X'mas-weekend 10th Anniversary Show
