The Super Suck Up! Custom Sucklord Figures

One of the coolest parts of attending Designer Con 2012 was getting to see all 16 custom figures in DKE Toys’ “The Super Suck Up!” group art show. For this show each artist created a custom Sucklord figure with a limited edition run size of 50 pieces. Each figure was better than the next, and they all featured a hilarious blister card artwork by The Super Sucklord. Check them all out and just try to pick out a favorite! Every artist definitely brought their A game for this one!!!

“The Super Suck Up” features works by Billions McMillions, Buff Monster, DrilOne, Doktor A., Ferg, Frank Kozik, Jason Freeny, L’Amour Supreme, Luke Chueh, Matt Doughty/Onell Design, October Toys, Paul Kaiju, Scott Tolleson, Scott Wilkowski, Skinner, and the Sucklord.

Each figure retailed for $100. The Blot hasn’t heard if any of these figures are still available, but I know some designs definitely sold out at DCon. If I find out about any remaining figures I will definitely post that information here.

DKE Toys asked each artist to customize, mash-up or paint an edition of 50 Sucklord bootleg resin figures. Each 3.75” figure will come packaged in a blistercard designed by Sucklord and will retail for $100 each.

First Look: Fig-lab Finger Five Series 1

Fig-lab has been working hard with five of the top artists in the game to create Finger Five Series 1, a new line of designer vinyl finger puppets made from soft Japanese vinyl. This amazing series includes characters from Paul Kaiju (Uncle Biter), The Sucklord & Suckadelic (Sucklord SD), MonstreHero (Monstre Ape), Onell Design (Warped Pheyden) and L’amour Supreme (Baby Huey).

Up top is our first look at the finished product, and these guys turned out great!!! You can see the original sculpts above, and below is a photo from L’amour Supreme’s Instgram feed which show’s four of the five Finger Five Series 1 vinyl figures hand painted by Paul Kaiju! The Blot can’t wait for these to drop! More details to come as they become available.

OMFG! Mini Figures Series 1 On Sale Now!

The Blot’s been meaning to write about October Toys’ official release of its OMFG! (Outlandish Mini Figure Guys) Series 1 for a while, but I wanted to wait until I received my Kickstarter sets so I could give a true review. And let me just say, these are awesome!!! Everyone involved with these MUSCLE-esque series did a fantastic job, and each figure is way more detailed than I ever expected. This is definitely one of those times where the pictures don’t do the figures justice. I like them so much, I’ve already started a collection of SpankyStokes.com’s mascot Stroll (but more on that later).

As previously reported, there were 6 different colorways of OMFG! Series 1 created. The Kickstarter Exclusive Black and the Onell Design Exclusive Pheyden Blue are already sold out, but the other four can be purchased now for $10-15 per set. The Standard Flesh/Pink Edition can be purchased directly from October Toys here, the Little Rubber Guys Exclusive Green colorway can be purchased here, the Rotofugi Exclusive Blue (312c) colorway can be purchased here and the UofMuscle Exclusive Yellow colorway can be purchased here. Rumor has it a super rare 7th Hot Pink colorway will be released by each figure’s creator but no details have emerged on that one yet. Bet you can’t just get one!

Bio-Buildman Glyos Figure by Troy Stith

The Blot just found out about Troy Stith’s newest creation, the Bio-Buildman Glyos figure! These awesome figures are currently available for pre-order through Troy’s online store from now until January 1st, 2012. You can order a complete blank DIY resin Bio-Buildman, as well as all of the bits that make it up individually. This way, if you only want certain parts to make your own Glyos custom figure, you can buy them separately. This will be a limited open-run, meaning Troy will only be casting enough to fill pre-orders plus a few more him to customize.

To be honest, I have never been all that into Onell Design’s Glyos line. But as more and more of my favorite artists get involved with creating their own Glyos compatible designs, I’m starting to see the light. I really love what Troy Stith is doing here (and the folks at Argonaut Resins with their Tuttz Glyos figures) and will definitely need to check out some of these guys in person! The complete Bio-Buildman Glyos resin figure is $25, while the individual body parts range in price from $2-$4 a piece. Head over to Stith’s Gorilla Mouth online store to pre-order one today!

And for those of you wondering who the Bio-Buildmen are, here iss their official back story: Hailing from the murky marshes of Sesar IV, the Bio-Buildman are an organically reptilian race of hunters. Upon hatching, they're left to tend to themselves. While young, the Bio-Buildman live on instinct that turns to cunning shrewdness as they age. Each Bio-Buildman's carapace armor and weaponry grows specifically to the survival needs of each individual. The planet of Sesar IV is full of ever-changing alliances of Bio-Buildman. But one thing remains clear to all who've tried to lay their claim to Sesar IV, the Bio-Buildman will unite and crush any foe that encroaches on their territory.

Argonaut Resins x Onell Designs Kings of Atlantis Glyos Figures

Wow, Argonaut Resins’ upcoming collaboration with Onell Designs just keeps getting better! Not only is END and Co. producing a line of Tuttz Glyos figures (the Tuttz Bad Luck Squadron), but they’re also creating a rival Glyos figure, the Kings of Atlantis! This is so cool on a number of levels, but The Blot especially loves seeing the merger of two of Argonaut Resins’ most popular original characters.

According to legend, the Tuttz are looking for an ancient relic that was taken from their home world a very long time ago. They have finally found the location of the world they believe holds this relic, but it is inhabited by a race of beings older and more powerful than them. The Kings of Atlantis settled on this hidden planet thousands of years ago, after plundering many galaxies of their riches. Everyone who has ever come to the Kings of Atlantis's planet in search of the Universe’s greatest treasures has perished…that is until now! The Tuttz Bad Luck Squadron will have their might tested trying to recover their ancient relic on this hostile world hidden deep within the outer regions of space. On an alien world - there will be war!

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…
