SDCC 09 - Believe Dero Resin Figures by Jermaine Rogers

Jermaine Rogers, one of The Blot’s favorite artists, had three awesome prototypes on display at San Diego Comic Con 2009. The first two were red and blue prototypes of an upcoming resin release of Rogers’ popular character Dero, entitled Believe. The Believe Dero resin figures looked incredible in person, and I couldn’t get over how big they were (around 8-10 inches in height). Jermaine let me hold one, and its craftsmanship was remarkable.


Also on display was a very raw Veil: Specimen 129 resin prototype that is currently in development. It had something very funky looking in the middle of it (like a piece of coral), but what I really liked about the head is that it had a magnet at the bottom of it. As Jermaine explained it, the plan is to have a magnet placed at the top of the figure’s neck as well, so that the two pieces can latch together magnetically. It will give the resin figure some articulation, so that you will be able to rotate the figure's head while still having it attached to its resin body. How cool is that!?!


Also on display was a pair of Jermaine Rogers x Vans sneakers. They looked pretty sick, so I had to take a pick. Not sure of the drop date on these kicks, but check out your local Vans store to reserve a pair!

SDCC 09 - Upcoming Tequila 2.0 Colorways from Muttpop

At San Diego Comic Con 2009, Muttpop unveiled the next two colorways of everyone’s favorite Lucha Libre, Tequila! As you may remember, Tequila was rereleased earlier this year with a slightly updated look and now we know what the next two colorways of Tequila 2.0 will be: a Kozik Tequila 2.0 and an all green Radioactive Tequila 2.0 (along with the variant Incredible Radioactive Tequila which will sport purple pants).


The Blot’s not exactly sure about the release dates on these figures, but everyone and their mother is going to want one of these Kozik Tequila 2.0s. And my understanding of things is that we’re going to see the release of the Incredible Radioactive Tequila sometime prior to the Radioactive Tequila’s release. I can’t wait to get my hands on this Incredible Hulk inspired figure!
