the illazilla project by tnes
[Higher-res version on my multiply / flickr / facebook]
Owner/designer TNES (aka TheNeverEndingStory / creator of Drunk Frog in Bear Suit) sends over a bevy of snaps for the making of ILLAZILLA (formerly known as "T-Wrecks" / tagged on TRE) and I hadda make them into a slideshow video (posted above). Look out for further developments, as well as a possible showcase of customed-Illazillas, yeh? Meanwhile - CLICK THRU to peep more Illazilla-pics, as well as the "actual" video-documentation of the production of Illazilla (heh).
A documentation of the production process for the hella ORIGINAL DIY wooden toy ILLAZILLA. From the mind of TNES (creator of the Drunk Frog in Bear Suit produced by Kidrobot) & brought to life w/ the aid of Bobbie Bruises, see the fascinating transformation of blocked wood turn into the next customizable craze.
That is some dangerous-ass woodworking. Please kids, don't try that at home!
ReplyDeleteThe most exciting toy I've seen in a LONG time. By far.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I actually prefer it unpainted. I think the shapes alone are so well thought out that it makes the paint unecessary. And IMO, the grain is more interesting.
ReplyDeleteThanks Anonymous! We worked really hard to put this together... it was a lot of trial and error to get it down correct. Aloha!
ReplyDeleteThis is pretty awesome. I need to get some of my toys done in wood. :-)
