Argonaut Resins x Onell Designs Tuttz Bad Luck Squadron Glyos Figures

To be completely honest, The Blot’s never actually seen a Glyos figure in person, which is probably why there’s been very little coverage on TheBlotSays.com of Onell Designs and their extremely popular line of customizable toys. But when I heard Argonaut Resins would be teaming up with Matt Doughty of Onell Designs on a new line of Tuttz Glyos figures I got really excited!

There’s nothing better than when an artist you admire and a character you really like crosses over with another platform, especially when that means you’ll finally be introduced to a whole new world of toys. We actually have Rob Losito to thank for introducing END of Argonaut Resins to Doughty at New York Comic Con last year and suggesting they work together on a project. What they came up with is the Bad Luck Squadron, a fighting squad of mini Tuttz action figures!

For such a massive undertaking, END brought in artist Victor Durango to help with designing the bodies, accessories and all the paint work for the entire line, and The One Cam and When Giants Meet to do the project photography. While it sounds like this project has been a ton of work, all of these artists’ tireless work has really paid off with the creation of some amazing Tuttz Glyos figures! More details to come…

SDCC Exclusive El Bandito Muerto Vinyl Figure by Jesse Hernandez

Sometimes good things do come to those that wait! At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, Jesse Hernandez unveiled his outlaw of death, El Bandito Muerto, and yesterday Kidrobot put its remaining stock of the black and grey vinyl figure up for sale on its website. Now those of us who originally missed out on this crazy new figure by not attending Comic-Con can add one to our collections…and at retail prices to boot!

Fully armed and ominous, this malevolent 8” black and grey pistol-packing bandit blends Hernandez' signature indigenous style with a seriously dark and edgy street vibe. The removable sombrero and sculpted detailed serape lay claim to Bandito's and Hernandez' own Mexican roots, but the colossal sculpted sneakers and somber six-shooter are less than subtle clues to this mean muerto's approach to life and death on the streets. Limited to only 250 pieces, the San Diego Comic-Con 2011 Exclusive El Bandito Muerto Vinyl Figure by Jesse Hernandez can now be purchased at the Kidrobot online store for $100.
