Chocomint release!

This Thursday, November 5th at 12 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, the Chocomint Morsel colorway is being released at my online store HERE. Just 5 of this figure were produced so you'll have to be quick to grab them. She is resin standing 8” tall upon a metal base. She was sculpted by Bear Williams and manufactured (meticulously casted and hand painted) by Julie B of Pretty in Plastic. Chocomint will be $225 plus shipping.

In other news... the raffle for the one-of-a-kind Halloween Morsel has ended and the drawing for the winner will be announced on toybreak episode 98. This episode has been postponed due to one of the members of toybreak falling ill. It will will posted as soon as they are feeling better which I hope is in the next day or so. I an anxious to learn who won just as much as you. Thank you for your patience!

Playtime toy collaboration

Several weeks back I was looking at the talented Alberto Cerriteno's flickr and he had a post about having no response from toy companies for a toy idea he had. When I saw it, I instantly knew how I would make it out of wood, so I contacted Alberto about a collaboration. He loved the idea and trusted me with how I would translate his design in wood.

Alberto then painted it in only the way he can and it turned out amazing! This cool cat is 6.75" to the tip of his highest ear and 7.25" to the top of his tail. I am very proud of our collaborative effort. To view more of Alberto's art visit his blog

Halloween Raffle Has Ended!!!

Thank you to all that participated in the raffle! Be sure to watch Toy Break episode 98 for the drawing. I will post it on here and e-mail all who entered so you can watch them hopefully pull your ticket!

If your ticket is not pulled and you really want to be the proud owner of a Morsel, don't worry....Morsels will be going up for sale soon for $225 each starting with Chocomint on November 5th.


The other Morsels will be released throughout the year, starting with Chocomint releasing on November 5, 2009 at noon. Chocomint is a limited edition of 5 made.

I've gone Batty!

I have many new wood toy projects in the works. With Halloween around the corner, I couldn't help but be inspired to make this batty guy. He's a whopping 14" high with an 18" wing span! I decided to be a little more advanced in my wood working this time round by using dowels, so everything can rotate and be disassembled or replaced at will. I used black stain and acrylics to help bring him to life.

SDCC

For those that weren't able to make it to the San Diego Comic Convention, here is a short video of what Scott Tolleson and my booth looked like. Video courtesy of Toy Break.
