Instagram App Logo Vinyl Figure by JC Rivera

If you follow The Blot on Twitter, then you probably know The Blot is a big fan of the Instagram app (even though my iPhone 3GS takes terrible pictures). So when I heard JC Rivera had created an Instagram app logo vinyl figure I was blown away! Such a simple idea and yet JC executed it to perfection! JC came up with the idea for an Instagram toy and did the initial sculpt himself, and then Scott Wetterschneider took over and digitally sculpted the figure. No clue if Instagram has any plans to produce this little guy, but I would buy one in a heartbeat! How great would it look on a shelf next to Twitterrific’s mascot Ollie!?!

Podgy Panda x Cris Rose Podgonauts & Ramsay Resin Figures

Podgy Panda and Cris Rose have teamed up to create a truly awesome collaboration! Two versions of the same resin figure have been created, Cris’ robot panda chef Ramsay and Podgy Panda’s Podgonauts (cute animals in powered spacesuits), and both versions look incredible!

Podgonaut Edition A resin figures are from the Panda Exploration Corp, come dressed in Jumpsuit Orange, feature articulated heads and include removable domes. Each figure has a unique hand painted face and includes a laser engraved disc embedded in its chest. One lucky buyer will also find their Podgonaut comes with a super rare chase in the form of a little suited Monkey mechanic in matching colors and a rusty finish applied by Cris. Only 5 Podgonaut resin figures were created and each will retail for $130. These go on sale at Podgy Panda’s online store today, Thursday, April 5th at 18:00 London time.

Tangerine Orange Ramsay Edition A resin figures were designed to look like a panda. This was at the specific request of a chain of theme restaurants who wanted all their robots to look like animals while they cooked and serve their customers. Outfitted with a splash-guard to stop from getting prawns in the face and a jetpack, Ramsay was often in the air as each restaurant was a huge bio-dome, complete with trees, plants and running streams. Only 5 Tangerine Orange Ramsay Edition A resin figures were created and each will retail for $160. These go on sale at Cris Rose’s online store today, Thursday, April 5th at 18:00 London time. Cris also created a very limited run of 3 Dark Chocolatier Ramsays which will retail for $190 each.
