JC Rivera Most Wanted Madness 1:AM Gallery...

JC Rivera is a custom making madness machine. As you can see from the photo above he used multiple different bases to create these eerie and haunting customs. The skulls, the use of the color red and horns has these customs heading towards a western theme for me. Reminds me of the dead half eaten cow skulls that cowboys would find when out riding a trail. I really love the theme of these customs and how cohesive each piece is with the other. If you are interested in purchasing one of these creations please check out the 1:AM Gallery website HERE. To see what other customs are also available from Tenacious Toys by JC Rivera like the one below please click HERE.

Sai Kang Warriors by Daniel Yu

Daniel Yu has taken some Playmobil figures and turned them into works of art. This series of 5 figures entitled "Sai Kang Warriors." The term "Sai Kang" in Chinese refers to an unpleasant and undesirable task. This series showcases 5 blue collar workers whose jobs are not desirable. Daniel Yu gave a blank and vacant expression to each of these workers to reflect how society views such laborers as ones without an identity. Each of these figures has painstaking detail, especially the construction worker with his gloves and vest- they really are very well done. I am not sure if these figures are still available but send a note to Daniel Yu at his website HERE and ask.

David Kraig's Boba Fett Is Here To Collect His Bounty...

David Kraig has just finished an amazing new custom that, if you could not tell, is inspired by one of the all time great Bounty Hunters from Star Wars, Boba Fett!!! Using a 4" Munny as a base with some sculpey for the details, this Munny has everything it takes to be the ultimate Bounty Hunter. I love the small details on this figure, especially on the helmet with the small bullet dent. This custom is already spoken for but I am sure if you contact David Kraig through his website HERE, he will be more than happy to make one for you.

"As Seen On TV" Task One Gets Real...

Task One has gone above and beyond with his new show that opens at Plastic Chapel, Saturday, June 9th.

Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Wire, Breaking Bad and more are all represented in this awesome showcase of TV human expression and all put down on the Munny platform. These TV Characters look so realistic to me and look absolutely perfect in every way. I wish I could purchase them all. (Especially Larry David.) If you are interested in any of these pieces and are wanting to purchase one send Plastic Chapel an email to find out how these will be sold! Good Luck!

I Can See Your Insides With Carson Catlin...

Carson Catlin is up to no good. He is taking sweet little innocent Dunny's and Munny's and carving them out. Now before you go OH NO, ake a look at the colorful masterpieces he has turned them into. Using his 2 tone color pallet and carving out intricate beautiful patterns that can be stared at for hours these little patients are a sight to see! I would definitely say that sacrificing these Dunny's and Munny's was worth it. Wouldn't you?

Trey Anastasio & Akuma from Street Fighter customs by Ian Ziobrowski

Ian Ziobrowski shares with us two of his most recent commissions: Trey Anastasio is the guitarist from legendary jam band Phish. The Trey custom pictured above was executed on a 7-inch Munny platform. Super tight work in Ian's signature style, with detailed sculpting and accessories- all hand-made.

Below is a commission Ian did for a customer who wanted to add the character Akuma to his Kidrobot Street Fighter figure collection. As such, this piece is based on a 3-inch Dunny platform. Ian says this one "is a bit different for me... Nothing Nugglife related but still fun."

Lunabee Tootles 7-inch Munny custom

This sweet little fella is a lonesome wanderer of the forest. Tootles likes leaving little gifts on the doorsteps of his neighbours made from leaves and flowers much to the bemusement of his bloodthirsty, war-loving fellow tribe members. He spends most of his time with the animals and insects of the woodland in particular the bees who happily share their honey with this strange little boy.

Buy Tootles here in the Lunabee shop.

Introducing Munko & Zukie, traveling together! Alison used a DIY MUNKO and made Zukies out of sculpey, airbrush painted and hand painted details.

AlexBreak: Element Alpha Custom 8-inch figure

AlexBreak: Element Alpha Custom 8': Mon custom de la semaine "Chic Evil Choco" peinture sur un Element Alpha D-I-Y , la gourmandise , Mmmm ... "Neuf personnes sur dix aiment le chocolat , la dixième ment".

Obviously Alex speaks French. The quote above reads, I think: "9 out of 10 people like chocolate, and the 10th is dead." So true.

Crazy platform for a custom, eh? I think Ian Ziobrowski is using a different 8" Element as the basis for his entry into our April 21 show The Candy Coated Custom Show. Ian is making a little candy shop out of it, sorta like his Nuggy Growstation!
