Countdown to Customs!
Remember! Tomorrow night at 8PM EST I'll be selling these little goons from my new storefront on Storenvy:
http://monsterforge.storenvy.com/

Just like last time they'll be $10 each and the shipping will be $5. These are extremely limited, and there's a strict limit of one per customer!
This is my first time using Storenvy, but if it works out well I'll be using that as my permanent storefront!
See you tomorrow night!!!! :D
EDIT: Just received some useful information from a member of the October Toys Forum:
So make sure you set up an account beforehand! Thanks, everyone!!!

EDIT: Just received some useful information from a member of the October Toys Forum:
For folks who haven't bought through Storenvy before, checkout will be faster if you go create an account ahead of time. This can be helpful when competing against a large number of people for a small number of items...
So make sure you set up an account beforehand! Thanks, everyone!!!

Multikustoms GO!!!!!
Labels:

Kountdown to Kustoms!
In just a short few hours I'll release the Multiskull Multikustoms, a line of 25 custom, hand-painted Multiskull figures. 9PM EST tonight these puppies will be on the store ready to buy.
Here they are in all their blind-packaged packageness:

Hopefully this release will go more smoothly than the last. The only thing I can think of that would cause a problem is if someone tried to get more than one. Rest assured that if anyone puts more than one of these in their cart the entire sale will be denied, and I'll manually put the figures back in the stock-- so a message that there are no pieces left in stock might not actually reflect the situation, as we found out Friday night.
I will come back here and post when I make sure the stock actually hits zero.
I'm trying to keep things as fair as possible, and it looks like a LOT of people are going to be shooting for these customs.
For any people who already bought some of the "Pretty in Pink" Multiskulls Friday night: the Multikustom orders will be combined with your earlier purchase, and the difference in shipping will be refunded to you after everything is said and done.
Rest assured that I will be doing another series of different customs in the future, so if you miss out tonight you'll have another shot then.
So... see you in a few hours, and good luck to you all!

Goodbye, Pink Guy.
Thank you guys so much for the successful (mostly) release of the "Pretty in Pink" Multiskulls!
When I say "mostly" I'm referring, of course, to the extremely unfortunate glitch in the shipping charge gadget on my store. I'm sure by now that you noticed that you were charged full shipping for each Multiskull you purchased. I have gone through each order and refunded the extra shipping fees that were added (and I have refunded more than I should have in more than one case! EEK!), so check your Paypal accounts to see if you got a refund. I tried to fix the glitch early in the auction, but the fix didn't take effect until the sale was almost over. Chances are if you ordered more than one figure you just got some moolah back. If not, please let me know, and I'll check your order and fix things.
Thanks so much for the intense reaction to these crazy little figures! I wish I had a truckload of them to share, but the truth of the matter is that there were a slim few of them to begin with. Maybe we'll see more crazy stuff down the road... who knows? Keep checking the Series 2 thread on the forum! There's some amazing stuff posted there every day!
Anyway, I need to get back to checking these orders for errors. Thanks again for the amazing release! See you again on Monday night for the Multikustoms release (fingers crossed that that one goes more smoothly!)

Each figure is hand painted and sealed with polyurethane protective finish. No two figures are alike! Each figure comes signed and numbered with a signed and numbered micro-print.

A Pretty Little Announcement!
OK, guys-- I promised I would post an announcement about the upcoming release of my exclusive artist's colorway of Multiskull and here 'tis:

click to enlarge
Next Friday (February 3rd) at 9PM EST I will launch the artist's colorway of the Multiskull figure... or as I like to call it, "Pretty in Pink" Multiskull! You will be able to purchase the figures here on this blog for $3 each, and shipping in the US will be $3 (still working on how much it will cost to ship internationally, but it shouldn't be much more because the figures are pretty light-- both domestic and international packages will ship via First Class Mail -- the price is a flat fee... so it's the same if you order 1 or 3 pieces). There is a strict limit of 3 figures per customer because of the extremely limited numbers. Each figure comes individually bagged with a goofy, cheapo header card-- this was mainly just for fun... I just love packaging stuff!-- so don't feel obligated to keep them packaged unless that's your thing!
And just to be clear: They're yours when you buy 'em-- trade 'em, sell 'em, fire 'em out of a cannon, set 'em on fire, customize 'em, eat 'em (not really), or whatever! The main thing is to have fun with 'em!!!
And like I said before... after the launch... keep those eyes peeled for something.... special.... Muah ha ha ha ha!!!




NOTE: In the next few days I'll be testing the cart feature out for buying the figures; PLEASE don't click on the button until the launch next week... I'll have to cancel any orders placed before the launch anyway. Thanks!!!

Glowing Spacemen, Rabbit Skulls, and Cartoon LARP
The mailbox was VERY good to me today. I got 3 packages, and each one of them made me happy-- no dead skunks this time!
The first package was from Onell Design. I bought one of Matt's blind-bagged Glyos Randomizer figures... I wound up with the very one I wanted:

Woo hoo! Gotta love the glowy stuff! Matt's figures just keep getting more and more fun!
The next package was from my good friend George Gaspar, the founder of October Toys and an all around cool dude. He sent me one of his custom Skull Dunnies-- we traded customs-- I love trading customs! It's such a good feeling to get stuff that someone else made in trade for something I made... it just feels right.

AGH! How cool is this guy?

George made his own packaging for this small run of figures.

George sculpted a little Dunny skull that fits perfectly inside the transparent head of the Triclops Rain Dunny from the UK series.

He cast up a handful of them and sold them on the October Toys Forum a few days ago for $25 a piece. Needless to say, they disappeared in no time. There's a possibility that he may do another run of them, but there are no guarantees. Bug him if you want some! He deserves all the business I can throw his way!

The sculpt is absolutely gorgeous, and it has all the details that make me happy... he even sculpted the sutures and the foramens on the skull! He gave it a light wash that makes the resin look just like bone. A W E S O M E!

He did such a great job on this little dude... I am QUITE proud to have it in my collection.

I asked George if he'd autograph my Dunny's butt... he did more than that, he wrote a cool little thank you note. You're the man, George! If you guys agree with me that this Dunny rocks the house, let George know about it! He deserves all the praise he can get!

I'm growing a nice little collection of custom Dunnies! The one on the left was made by NiStuff and the one on the right is by Zro, both members of the October Toys Forum. It's so cool having something someone made with their hands... like I said before: it just feels right.

Might as well throw my little Ultra Dunny in there with the rest. I'm not the biggest Dunny fan on the planet, but I LOVE custom Dunnies!
The third package was from Mill Creek Entertainment. They're the guys who make those awesome, affordable boxed DVD sets of TV shows like Ultraman and The Greatest American Hero, and they used to make those 50 genre movie sets. I have bought so many Mill Creek DVD sets it's not even funny! I have the Martial Arts Classics 50 Movie MegaPack, and it has some of the most ridiculous movies ever made. If you have never seen The Impossible Kid featuring 2'9" martial artist Weng Weng, then you just haven't lived life to the fullest.
A while back I added the Mill Creek Entertainment page on Facebook to my "Like" list. They have these cool "Beat This Caption" contests every few weeks where they post an image from one of the featured DVD's and you have to come up with a caption for the image. The people who post there come up with some funny stuff, so I was shocked poopless when they sent me a message that I had won! I'm not particularly witty, but evidently what I had posted made someone chuckle. This particular contest was for the Dungeons and Dragons complete series DVD set. I loved that show when I was younger, so I was all kinda of happy! Here's the image and the caption I wrote:

"All the adventurers were impressed with the Dungeon Master's invisible basketball spinning trick until they learned that there was no invisible basketball..."
Like I said... not particularly witty, but hey... y'know.
I was shocked when I got the package from Mill Creek today--- that's pretty darn quick!

It's a nice set with an awesome illustration on the cover. I love the direction Mill Creek has taken of late, grabbing up more fun TV series instead of the old public domain movies they used to release. I have a crapload of the old horror and martial arts sets, so this is a nice change of pace.

27 episodes... I'm gonna have a lot of fun with that! For Christmas my friend Doug gave me the 2002 Masters of the Universe series that Mill Creek put out, and it was fantastic, so I expect this one will be of similar quality.

Mill Creek sets aren't fancy, but why be fancy when you can be awesome? This box set retails for $24.95, but I have seen several places sell it for a good bit less. Mill Creek's stuff is good quality at a good price. I reviewed the Ultraman set a while back, and I stand by my love for the affordable, fun DVD sets.
All in all... the mailbox was very kind today!

Mighty Mekk
This is the Mighty Mugg custom I did for the Mighty Mugg Custom Trade here on the October Toys Forum. It was the Duke Mugg from the GI Joe line. I used a glass candle holder for the head/cockpit. The little guy inside driving the mech was a pilot figure from the Air Raiders line of toys from the 80's. He had messed up hips, so I decided to use him as the pilot since he would be immobile in the glass cockpit. The missile launcher on his arm fires a projectile. I call him the "Mighty Mekk."
