World Of Toys on TOYSREVIL (Mar/4/2011)

PRODUCT PRESS: "Based on a set of life-sized statues that were shown at the coarse solo exhibition in Chicago in 2010, coarse now introduces their latest "oop" series. This first vinyl toy release in 8 months is a milestone — the start of the very first 7 inch series by coarse. This version goes back to the beginning of life, showcasing signature coarse characters in embryo form, a chance to experience them at their purest."



"oop loser — hkg brood" by coarse is limited to only 200 pcs with a price tag of HK$ 1280 per (includes global airmail shipping). The set includes a birth certificate. Available exclusively at the coarse online store, sale begins March 8th, 2011.


Also available at coarse retailers in Summer, is the "oop loser — signature brood" ~ priced at HK$ 998 [US$ 136 — MSRP]. Quite excited to see brand new figure releases from coarse-artists Mark Landwehr and Sven Wasch, IMHO. Or perhaps the fond memory of their Pain gift lingers still amidst all the multiple colorway releases of their Noops, JAWS, PAW et al... And anyone who releases fetal-inspired toys has my vote! LOL


First I posted about the print now comes news of the upcoming release of a new Series 4 BLANK truck, which you can score here for US$18 for a 8.5" box style delivery truck. The blank walls were perfect for scribbling on or mad bombing with stickers, or if you are handy with markers, a canvas for your tag.


PRODUCT PRESS: From Ron English's feature painting "The Incredculous
HulkBoy" at the Status Factory L.A. show, Garageworks Industries are set to release the HulkBoy sculpture in edition of 10. These handcrafted sculptures are made from high density fiberglass, and standing 1:1 scale (22") in height. Each sculpture are signed & numbered by Ron English. Info & pre-order inquiry: info@garageworksindustries.com ~ Yes, I know it is not a toy to be posted here, but HulBoy has enormously whacked irradiated abs, so I'd rather not irritate him as much, thanks :p

Remember Cris Rose's upcoming Rotund Mk2 release? [Teased and Previewed] Well, here's a peep at the Clear Head version! Swishness!


Ben Spencer readies to release his third colorway edition of his GALAXXOR from March 4th online via http://galaxxor.bigcartel.com ~ priced at US$90 per for a 5.5" figurine made in resin. Looks very swish in "Skrull" colors of violets and green, and I do have a weakness for exposed brains muahahahaha


PRODUCT PRESS: "From the hive world X-544 comes the twisted third Galaxxor: Monster Hunter Robo, Galaxxor 003! This classic 5.5" action figure-style resin art toy was sculpted by Ben Spencer, hand cast in black light reactive magenta resin by The Godbeast and hand painted by Ben Spencer.

Mini Treatures and Louts from Motorbot both standing 2" tall and both have been sold out on http://deadbear.bigcartel.com. Regardless stay tuned to more upcoming self-casted and painted goodness you can put in your pocket or slide in your mouth. And mind you, seems the tiny figures tend to go down very well and quick with fans, so don't be napping next time!



Lulubell sends over news of new releases for March from Cure ~ which you can pre-order from March 9th at 5pm Pacific time here.

With OMI : SERIES 1 produced by MUNKY KING slated to launch soon, DKE Toys is currently distributing both the artist series, as week the DIY Blank series. Standing 3.5 inches tall, the figures packaged with a clear acrylic frame and removable base, as well a OMI figure. Series 1 features such artists as Luke Chueh, Nathan Jurevicius, Dave Pressler, Kozik, Buff Monster, Ferg, Craola, and the newly revealed Yoskay Yamamoto design (front and center).


The DIY Omi is blind box assortment, so you can either pull a Monkey, Cat, Bear, or Devil. The matte white finish is perfect for customizing with acrylics, aerosol, or paint markers. Series 1 has a SRP of US$10 per box, while the DIY Blank is pegged at US$8 per box.

"Inspired by Chinese opera and Japanese Oni masks, Omi takes a traditional form and infuses it with a designer toy aesthetic. Omi's distinct shape comes adorned with unique ears and accessories. Flip Omi upside down or sideways to create a multitude of design possibilities."


Thursday, March 3rd 2011 @ Noon PST will see the release of the LA BREA Edition of Joe Ledbetter's PICO & WILSHIRE on theloyalsubjects.com. Priced at US$175 per set, this is the third colorway to be released, after the first colorway, and the 2nd Lava Edition released at DesignerCon. Limited to 99 pcs, Pico stands 6" while Wilshire the wooly mammoth stands 12" tall.

I am sure the figure is fine and all (I wouldn't really know I've not seen it in person), but a green colored sabretooth only can exist in pop culture. The mammoth on the other hand, look so adorable "lost", you'd want to scoop him out of the tar-pits and quick!


"Unofficial" Droplets video by UpUp featuring Jam Factory's vinyl toy series "Droplet" as produced by Crazy Label. This is truly epic looking, and a welcome respite as we do not really see swell toy videos these days unfortunately.

Pretty exciting images of Patricio Oliver's Paladins / Beast Riders spotted on The Tenebrae's Facebook (featuring equally awesome snaps from Tomenosuke). Produced by RAJE Toys, the 7.5 inch vinyl and resin behemoth has hit the market. Congrats again to PO! and I am liking the clear blue-tinted arms on the Ice Beast, IMHO. As well the previously seen gold-arms on the red beast now is red instead, which is a cool development, methinks.


So are "Paladins" "Beast Riders" above the Beast?
