The New Custom Toy Union Forums

Two very talented customizers, B.A.L.D. and Fuller, have just launched a brand new forum called the Custom Toy Union or CTU for short. It’s a free forum where painters, sculptors, artists and toy enthusiasts can get together to show off and discuss their own creations, get feedback, share tips and tricks, and just basically hang out. It is a site built by customizers for customizers.


If you collect Mighty Muggs, you might recognize the names of B.A.L.D. and Fuller from their awesome customs on MuggLab.com and their donation of hand painted custom Mighty Muggs to last week’s MuggLab.com Fundraiser Series 1 auctions. Both are very talented artists, and The Blot suggests checking out their new forum www.customtoyunion.com.

Fully Visual x MAD 2009 Mini Metal Mad’l Santa

The Christmas Fully Visual and MAD will be teaming up to release a very special holiday figure, the mini metal Mad’l Santa ’09! This awesome little figure stands 2.5 inches tall and comes dressed just like jolly old St. Nick, with a hat and beard to boot. The Blot loves this little figure, and I know every Mad’l collector will want to add one to their collection.


The 2009 mini metal Mad’l Santa has transparent epoxy color for his coat, Swarovski crystal eyes and will be available in five colors: red, blue, green, purple and yellow. Best of all, each colorway has a limited run of just 10 pieces. The metal Mad’l Santa goes on sale this Saturday, December 19, 2009, for $99.00 at the Fully Visual online store here at 11 am PST.
