Support the CHEW Tony Chu Mini Bust Kickstarter Campaign by Skelton Crew Studio

For the past few years Skelton Crew Studio has been producing some high quality, officially licensed merchandise, including vinyl figures, plush dolls and mini busts, based on the hit Image comic book series CHEW. The comic, created by John Layman and Rob Guillory, is one of The Blot’s personal favorites and I’ve absolutely loved everything Skelton Crew Studio has created for the series. Their next release is a full color, super detailed mini bust of Tony Chu, the star of CHEW! For this project they’ve decided to launch a Kickstarter project (seen here) to crowd fund the production, and there are currently only 7 days left for you to make a pledge and get your hands on this awesome CHEW mini bust!

The CHEW Tony Chu Mini Bust is based on the artwork of Rob Guillory, was sculpted by Derek Hallett, and stands just over 7” tall. He's in scale with the now sold out CHEW Poyo mini bust the studio produced last year. The Mini Bust features Tony emerging from a can of beets with a label designed by Rob with plenty of CHEW-y nods on the back like: “Instructions: Open container. Throw directly into trash. Seriously. Why would you ever think of eating this? Ew.” What’s even more amazing is you can pre-order one now for just $58 here!

Skelton Crew Studio is also offering backers the opportunity to purchase a Kickstarter exclusive beet colored Chog Plush! The Chog is a frog/chicken hybrid animal from CHEW and is definitely one of the comic’s most adorable (and beloved) creations. The KS Exclusive Beet Chog Plush stands 4” tall and will never be available outside of this Kickstarter project.

But that’s not all! Because the CHEW Tony Chu Mini Bust project has already been funded and met its stretch goal of $26,000, for each Tony Mini Bust purchased during the campaign the backer will receive a free Chog 2” mini vinyl figure. This figure will be released in the fall and sold blind box style in a number of different colorways (blues, oranges, greens, whites and glows, to name a few). So not only do you get a really cool statue, but one of the very first Chog mini figures to ever be released. How can you back this awesome Kickstarer campaign now!?!

First Look: Chog Vinyl Figure from the hit Image comic book CHEW!

As you all know there’s nothing that excites The Blot more than when the world of comic books and designer vinyl figures merge. So when writer John Layman started teasing the production of a Chew vinyl figure of a Chog based on the artwork of Rob Guillory I got really excited. A Chog (an amalgam of Chicken and Frog) is actually a new species of frog that had its DNA modified to taste and look more like chicken. You see, in the world of Chew chicken and other bird meats are illegal after a deadly outbreak of the bird flu killed millions of Americans. In order to try to reproduce everyone’s favorite white meat, people were willing to do pretty much anything…even mess with frog DNA to create the Chogs. While Chogs aren’t necessarily a major part of the Chew storyline, they do make for a killer vinyl figure!

Chew by John Layman and Rob Guillory (produced by Image Comics) has quickly become one of my favorite books. It’s the story of Tony Chu, a cop who is also a Cibopathic, which means he gets psychic impressions from whatever he eats. That makes him a pretty awesome detective so long as he doesn’t mind eating some really disgusting stuff.

The Chog vinyl figure was crafted exclusively by Skelton Crew Studio LLC and is scheduled to go on sale in Spring 2013, and is expected to be released in two limited edition colorways: raspberry and yellow, and a do-it-yourself blank white. While I will definitely be grabbing one of these awesome figures, what The Blot is really excited about is a Poyo vinyl figure! Wait, you’re not familiar with the cyber-rooster cockfight champion? Well go read some Chew already!

SDCC 12 Exclusive Chew: Secret Agent Poyo #1 Metallic Foil Variant Cover

Chew, by John Layman and Rob Guillory, has quickly become one of The Blot’s favorite comic books. I love pretty much everything about this book, and if you haven’t read it yet go pick up the first trade ASAP! If you are reading Chew, then you’ll be excited to know that in just a few weeks Image Comics will be releasing a Chew one shot featuring the book’s most popular supporting character, and comic’s most beloved homicidal cybernetic kung-fu rooster, Poyo!

What I especially love about this one shot is that Image will be releasing a San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Pink Metallic Foil Variant Cover for it. It’s the ‘90s all over again, and I love it! There was a time when every comic released had a die cut, hologram or metallic foil cover and The Blot ate it up. Thankfully that trend died a quick death, but every once in a while it’s nice to have it rear its ugly head again. It really is so bad it’s good! The fun SDCC Variant can be purchased exclusively at the Image Comics SDCC booth for $10 each.
