What's my MOH-TOOvation?

Well... I know I've been away from this blog for a while, so I figured I'd pop back up with a neat announcement.




These little guys are called MOH-TOOS, and they stand about 2 inches tall and 1.5 inches wide on average-- the one styled after Whiplash is a bit taller and wider than the rest. They are hand-sculpted and hand-painted one of a kind pieces-- these are NOT resin castings. Just like the Kawaiiju when you own one of these you own the ONLY one. You'll be getting an original piece. Additionally, just like the Kawaiiju these are unrefined sculpts that show the hand of the artist. They'll be packaged blind, but I figure if you guys are as crazy as I am about the Masters of the Universe you won't mind getting any of them... I tried to pick the most recognizable fan favorite characters starting from the first waves and moving forward.

A couple of years ago when I did the first wave of Kawaiiju figures I was talking with Phil Reed (mastermind behind Battlegrip.com), and he suggested that I make a run of Masters of the Universe themed Kawaiiju.

All this time later, and TA-DA! Here they are!

Stay tuned here-- more details are coming very soon about release time, packaging, price, shoe size, etc. :wink:

Pray for Japan

Stu Levy, the founder of Tokyopop, is making a documentary about the devastation and recovery after the earthquake and tsunami that hit Japan recently. A very good cause that is worth a look. click the picture below to see how you can help make this possible:



The project has raised $11,262 of its $20,000 goal. It only has 12 days to go, so let's all hope it hits the mark by then! We all know how fast this money can be raised, so let everyone know about it on your blogs, your Twitter, Facebook, Myspace, Etc... just get the word out!!!

Thanks, guys!

Building for building's sake

My buddy Matt Doughty of Onell Design passed along some of his newest figures to me the other day. The latest design is a figure called the Glyan. A military character, the Glyan is armored and armed and ready to kick butt! Each figure comes with an extra head and a gun. Now, that might not seem so impressive until you consider the fact that each set is made up of 25 interchangeable pieces! That means one thing: BUILDING TIME!

Needless to say, I have been building like a madman! Take a look at the kinda stuff you can build with these figures and a few extra bits and pieces from the collection:

















Happy building, kids! Matt should have more of the Glyans in stock soon... keep an eye on the blog for updates and two eyes on the store for more great Glyos goodies!
