Launched September 15th, "The Wiseman and the Crane" by KiD iNK iNDUSTRiES representing Tenacious Toys' Super Series Sundays - purchasable now representing US$25 for every blind-bagged yank. 36 unique insignia of 3.5-inch tall resin to bring together. Somehow I inclination at hand was a twist to the aesthetics, sooner than a visual imitation of chinese sculpts, IMHO.
The debut release of Scribe's "Scrimshaw Mattenoot" happens Friday Sept 20 at noon PST purchasable via www.cardboardspaceshiptoys.com. Priced at US$55 each, and in an edition of 20 x handmade resin pieces, they come signed and numbered by the artist. Somehow am not too jazzed by this figurine, who looks like a "beached whale" placed on the floor like that. If there was a semblance of a raised pedestal/stand, or an "illusion" that the beast is floating and swimming, that would indeed be swell, IMHO.
New resin toy from Paul Shih - with more of the work-in-progress shots of the Fortune Cookie viewable here. Expect item to be released end of September. The fumanchu-moustache bothers me a tad (although it somehow reminds me of a taoist-ish chinese vampire-hunter lol), but perhaps a caricature representation best suits this creation. Perhaps some color will shed some light on this piece :)
Hot Toys releases studio images of their 1/6th-scaled BATMAN and ROBIN based on the "classic 1966 Batman movie". View more images here on Facebook. Batman and Robin are sold separately.
Sideshow Collectibles has Batman (@ US$204.99) and Robin (@ US$189.99) available for pre-order, with an expected ship date circa April 2014. I am torn between wonderous-gasps, and abject raised eyebrows for unfitting costumes (are they geriatric folks with loose underwear?) LOL
Paul Kaiju's 4" tall Metal Mockbats and 4" tall Anniversary Luftkaiser gets released on Friday September 20th at 12PM PST via http://shop.toyartgallery.com - priced at US$135 and US$45 respectively. I reckon both looks lovely and the Mockbats are certainly pretty exciting for me!
3DRetro releases the SSUR Rebel Ape bust. Limited to 50 pieces with a suggested retail of US$150 per 12" tall vinyl bust. Green busts will be available for purchase September 19 at Noon PST. Black at ssur.com and army green 3Dretro.com. The other 5 color ways will release throughout the year.
I know I should be excited at the prospect, but somehow the "Planet of the Apes" notion of simian heads on humanoid bodies, might well have run it's course, in pop culture … although this does look pretty sweet, I haveta say LOL
