"Dream Cast: a 1/6 Scale Custom Space Opera" from Justin Alan Volpe @ myplasticheart (August 1-31, 2014)
EVENT PRESS: "myplasticheart presents Dream Cast : a 1/6 Scale Custom Space Opera, where we invite you to take a look inside the mind of artist Justin Alan Volpe as he plays writer, director and designer to a universe made up of Force Benders, Space Cowboys, and an android rock band The Seekers. With a cast you may never see together on the silver screen, some of the most iconic actors of our time are set to portray a rag tag group of adventurers and lawmen, all in a 1/6 scale."
(New Force Bender customs featuring light up LED heads,
cast in clear blue resin = AWESOME!)
Launching August 1st from 6-9PM EDT at myplasticheart in the Lower East Side NYC. Justin Alan Volpe will be in attendance to discuss his work. TOYSREVIL had the personal pleasure and honor to release a TOYSREVIL x Popprolific 1/6th-scaled figure back in 2010, and I am a fan of his work - a unique blend of custom and kitbash - and will be looking forward to seeing work from this show, or even more from Justin, in fact, as tis been too long a while since we've seen any, IMHO :)
"Imagine a world where all your favorite actors play in one universe together…" ~ "Dream Cast" runs through August 31st.
