You might have seen sketch-teasers being posted by Nigo at Blackbook Toy, and at his solo show @ Clutter Gallery "Thought Factory", they were revealed, and now we have images of the upcoming BIG BONER figure to share! So what folks say about being "big boned" might be true? LOL "Big Boner" first appeared on the cover of Ron English's "Stickable Art Offenses" book, as an image on a sticker, which Nigo mentioned: "I have wanted to make Skull toy, so when I see this cross bones skull, something clicked! I asked Ron to draw the whole body. He liked my idea and sent me the sketch below." Now thanks to Nigo, Big Boner is to become a collectible, as produced by Blackbook Toy! And while no exact debut date is revealed, Nigo teases: "That means its debut is around the corner! Next month, Taipei Toy Fes and SDCC is waiting... You might don't want to miss them!" I sure don't, and this is by far my fav Ron English character to date! LOL

‘The Keeper of the Forest, is a wise old beast, He wanders round the Earth, looking for a feast. He's always very hungry, he could eat a tasty horse, But the Morrow find him biscuits, it's what he craves, of course.' Penny of Taylored Curiosities shares with us her latest custom, a companion piece for her "Keeper" submitted for the Dream in Plastic show, named "Keeper of the Forest"."I have used a 4? DIY Kidrobot Munny and combined sewing, my original resin toys, sculpting and up-cycling with painting and needle felting to create this one of a kind creature. The Morrow is hand sculpted and cast in a minty green colour and measures a tiny 2cm." "The forest floor is needle felted with an artificial leaf adorned with a button, fixed in place. The Keepers face is hand sculpted and painted. The fungus is also hand sculpted and painted and there finished off with moss. A hand sewn nest is the perfect resting place for the Morrow when it's not off collecting biscuits for the Keeper. And a second forest themed piece I have been working on is a custom 7.5" Dude that Dudebox asked me to do for their online store." ~shared Penny."This is the Morrow Treehouse. I have used the 7.5" Dude to create a functional treehouse for my tiny Morrow creatures. Hollowed out, I have needle felted a comfy floor that is surrounded with feathers and has two hand made nests set in, perfect for the Morrow. A working swing hangs in the middle. The Dude has been painted with hand detailing to give it a tree effect and is adorned with sculpted fungus, hand embroidered leaves and moss. Two Morrow are having fun playing in the treehouse. These measure just under 2cm and are hand cast from my original sculpt. The Dude is signed and dated underneath." ~added Penny.

Vampire has always fascinated me and it not often we see female Vampire toy from Playmobil. For sure I got to get one. So here she is, before she was a young innocent girl. All she want was a party and fun. She was young and damned. Dress in rich dress and a noble taste. I know not of her history behind turning to a vampire but for sure she was bitten off her will. A monster she will be. As a playmobil, she did not have a scary face as it is still a child toy. Here how the magic happen. The switching of two faces on one head. This is indeed a special playmobil figure. I am glad to have her in my collection. Now her offer of immortal life to you. Will you take it?
