For Resin is King Series 2, each artist was asked to develop a new sub-3" resin figure and submit 10 pieces to the series using that sculpt. That’s 160 figures in all!!! The Blot honestly never thought we’d see a resin series to this magnitude, and it just shows how far the medium has come.

Resin is King Series 2 includes works by Brian Ahlbeck (of Dead Hand Toys), Dave Bondi, Rich Page (of UME Toys), NEMO and OsirisOrion (of Bad Applez Inc.), Jay222, Motorbot, Matt A*, Argonaut Resins, Selina Briggs (of The Jelly Empire), Kilroy III, Kris Dulfer (of KiD iNK iNDUSTRiES), JC Rivera, Christopher Moore (of We Become Monsters), Vanessa Ramirez, Scott Kinnebrew (of Forces of Dorkness) and Tim Stephson.

The Green Series by Dead Hand Toys

This Thursday, August 30th, Brian Ahlbeck (the artists formally known as Lysol) of Dead Hand Toys will be releasing an all new batch of hand cast resin figures! Entitled simply “The Green Series”, this release will include 24 figures of Brian’s popular character from Tenacious Toys’ Resin is King blind box series. The Blot has scoured the internet trying to find out what this figure’s name is, but I can’t find it listed anywhere! I guess it’s time to do a little investigative reporting (i.e. contacting Brian) to find out more about this interesting looking resin monster.

The Green Series by Dead Hand Toys will be comprised of almost complete 1 offs all in different shades of green. As you can see from the photo above, it will include green clear tints, florescent greens, metallics, marbled resin and so much more! With 24 figures The Blot is sure Brian’s got a few surprises lined up. Each figure will retail for $25 and can be purchased tomorrow, August 30th, at 12pm EST at the Dead Hand Toys online store.

Resin is King Blind Box Series 1

When The Blot first heard about this series organized by Tenacious Toys and Brian Ahlbeck (aka Lysol), I got really excited. Resin definitely seems to be the future of designer art toys, and so it was only a matter of time until we got our very first resin blind box series! Resin is King Series 1 includes seven brand new 3” resin figures by seven talented artist: Motorbot, Jay222, Matt A*, Brian Ahlbeck (of Dead Hand Toys), Dave Bondi, Rich Page (of Ume Toys), and Bad Applez Inc (NEMO and OsirisOrion).

Just like the majority of resin figures out there, each piece is cast and painted by hand. Because of this, no two pieces will be identical. And remember the picture above only showcases one of the many colorways for each sculpt. Each Resin is King blind boxes will retail for $25, which includes one random figure, a ratio card and a sticker. There will also be one Golden Ticket randomly inserted into one of the 40 blind boxes in this series, which can be redeemed for a 7" Teuth resin figure by Brian Ahlbeck!
