JC Rivera Is Getting A Little Horsey...

If you ever wanted to see the ultimate Horselington then feast your eyes on this awesome custom by JC Rivera. This samurai themed custom titled "Ronin" has everything that is needed to be both beautiful and deadly all at the same time. The usage of reds and golds along with the expressive face makes this piece almost feel like it will come to life at any point. If you are interested in picking up a custom from JC Rivera then check out our selection at Tenacious Toys HERE or check out his online store HERE. 

SNEAK PEEK: The Candy Coated Custom Show teasers

We have all been seeing sneaks and WIP shots from the artists in The Candy Coated Custom Show, so I thought I'd put all the ones I have into a blog post for you! There will be an online preview sale before the show opens; information about that will be emailed to our email list subscribers early next week, so click though and make sure you're signed up. (When you sign up, you will receive a coupon code good for 10% off in-stock production toys, but that code is not valid for custom toys.)

Basset D Kay, an original sculpt by Rich Page of Ume Toys

A Candy Shop piece by Ian Ziobrowski in the same vein as his Nuggy Growstation (WIP)

Vyvyan from the Young Ones TV show, a Munny custom by Scott Kinnebrew

Rsin's custom Munny, which I believe he named Blaaaaaaah!

Evilos' Union Jack Vinylmation, which I think is the only Vinylmation in this show. Represent!

Sweet Teuth original resin sculpt by Brian Ahlbeck. The first of 5 in a series. Real candy inside!

The London Swag Demon custom Munny by Nasty Neil of Wasted Talent

Jon Malmstedt of Rampage toys sent these 3 pieces from Japan, which will be sold separately.

JonPaul Kaiser was a saint and whipped up this 4" Munny after I inadvertently left him off my email list when I sent all the vital info to the artists. I will always admit when I do something stupid; such was the case here. Thanks JPK!

southerndrawl's Iron Fox piece

JC Rivera's Oh So Sweet Munny custom. 2 pieces, sold as a set.

Thomas the Rage Engine by Adam Pratt

Sucklord sent us these wired up resin chocolates titled Robot Candy. 2 pieces; sold separately.

Teru Fujita's Bentie the Bentley 7" Munny custom. Wired up with retractable hood ornament and working headlights.

Shawn Wigs' Yoshi custom set; this includes 2 Dunnys and accessories. Full reveal in our online preview.

Much, MUCH more to come! Stay tuned! The Candy Coated Custom Show will take place at The London Candy Company on April 21, from 7 to 9 pm. The address is as follows:

The London Candy Company

1442 Lexington Ave

New York, NY 10128

Afterparty down the street at ABV (97th & Lex). The London Candy Company serves coffee, tea and hot chocolate at their bar, in addition to selling a giant selection of British candies. ABV serves beer, wine and food, but try not to sit next to Eric of Argonaut Resins as he will probably steal your appetizers.

SNEAK PEEK: Exclusive Riker's Island Death Row Dunny Series by JCRivera

So upon seeing JCRivera's last (and sold out) custom Dunny series with an inmate theme, we contacted him to see if he'd like to make us an exclusive Riker's Island series along the same lines. Riker's is where they take you when you get arrested in NYC... Here's a teaser! JC will be finished with our series next week. For now, you can check out all the sweet JCRivera customs we have in our shop by clicking here.

Customizer JCRivera will be on hand at our NYCC booth (#876) that we're splitting with Toy2R. He'll be signing at 11AM on Saturday October 15th, right before Jon-Paul Kaiser.

 JCRivera will be showing up at our NYCC booth (#876) with a gang of customs. Here are a few sneak peeks: above is his Evil Ape custom, with bulldog accessory made from a Kidrobot Labbit figure! Suitably swagged out for his trip to NYC!

Above is Ricky the Passive-Aggressive Bunee, a two-for-one custom Qee which can be displayed either way depending on how your mood is swinging...

And finally, JCRivera will be bringing in some of his own hand-cast resin figures to give out to those of you who make it to his signing at noon on Saturday October 15th. See you there!
