Custom Works on TOYSREVIL (Feb/23/2011)
Tesselate-Sam be on a Dunny-roll! Next one-of-one edition custom up for sale is CHIP ~ available for £20 via http://tesselate.bigcartel.com from Feb 25th @ 6pm (London time) onwards. For more snaps of Chip, check out Sam's Flickr.
Prague-based creator Alexander Gürlich takes a break over making his Fshizzy figure and makes a new figure over a Bub blank from Kidrobot, resulting in one of the more awesome zombie characters I have seen in a while: NEIGHBOUR JOSEPH! Check out pics via Alex's flickr stream, and find a way to lobby this "well-fed" sculpt being made into a production toy! Very "Spirit of Kitaro", no? Super-Cool!

Alex Drils aka customizer DrilOne knows how to promote his own body of work. Alex knows how to put in that extra effort to document his craft, and keep it accessible thru his Flickr, properly demarcated and ready to be blogged about by folks, chief of all me, who loves to slideshow Flickr-images (unfortunately slideshows have been a pain recently, which affects my blogging hugely).
Nevertheless, these are images of DrilOne's custom pieces for the the upcoming Feb 24th "When Worlds Collide" group show (with work from MapMap and Nerviswr3k previously featured).
Luis Alberto Lepine is back, this time with a new figure form: Teddy Troops (haven't seen much TT-customs in a while too) ~ and he is going all oriental-zen on them, Check out his Facebook album for more customs.
Seriously, one can never fault UK-artist Jon-Paul Kaiser for taking a break, because he simply does not seem to, does he? Shortly after the first-look reveal of his Star Wars JAWS custom, JPK yet astounds with a trio of commissioned works for Rina of Honey Design (for which ALL the images posted here belong to) finished in his signature stark B&W visual aesthetics. These are the "Honey Hunters":
Consisting Eli Hunter and his tracker, both Dunnys are on the hunt for the Munny-customed "Colossus Bee"! Check out JPK's story of the trio here.
After our most recent feature on the custom Mini-Qees seen at the recent NYC♥QEE event in Yoyamart (launched Feb 14), we now have an closer look at the awesome custom from NEMO! Dubbed "Pilot of Prometheus" ~I shoulda expect greatness from the man, including a dioramic background! Click on the images to for a larger view, and be sure to check out Tenacious Toys for sales availability.
From US-based artist Vanessa Ramirez comes a Green 5" tall Succubus Madl custom ~ currently available online @ vanessaramirez.bigcartel.com for US$75 for this one-of-one edition handpaint. And as the name suggests, she's not here to just make friends with you, no? LOL
From Mexico City-artist EFO comes "Dunny Dante", a custom first started for personal fun (not a whole lot of that going around, methinks). But EFO is also accepting commissions, so hit him up at toysfyou@gmail.com for details, as well check out more of his works via Flickr.
From artist DMS comes a series of one off custom Duster figures (after ending the full 25 piece colourways at the end of last year), with this particular solid piece measuring just over 3" tall by 4" wide in a weathered and chipped dirty white paintjob. The figure has since sold out as of this post, meanwhile do check out http://dmsone.bigcartel.com for any further goodies.
