In December 2009, there are plans for four new colorways of Jouwe figures: Green, Purple, Yellow and a Secret color. Here's an unveiling of the first colorway - Jouwe Digi Wings Splashing Version. There are plans to produce 50 signed and numbered pieces that will run $100 each (not including shipping).
Jeremy Fish has released a pair of ceramic sculpture through the Design Design shop for their Superego Edition line. Both the Bottle and Bunny are limited to runs of 50 pieces and retail for $1,112 and $834 respectively.
Gary Ham has posted some progress pics of his Morsels figures thanks to Julie from Pretty in Plastic. So many decapitated little girls. But now you can see what the final piece will look like. These make me hungry for those little mint candies.
Today is July 13th, which means it's launch date for a new line from Symbiote Studios. Symbiotes are designed by legendary artist Curt Rapala and each figure is done in a stylized fashion. The line includes accessories which are interchangeable with some their "Mighty" competitor's figures. Each 6" tall Symbiote comes with four interchangeable hands, and two accessories.
Wave One includes Dr. Tran, Ninja, Pirate and six blank color varieties. The edition sizes range from 150 pieces to 300 pieces. Look for the blanks to retail around $15 each, while the licensed version go for about $20.
We received the following cryptic message (and photo). Anyone know binary?

If you'll be attending the Boris the Raccoon release party on July 17th at Meltdown Comics...or you're just a vinyl of the upcoming figure...you'll want to check out some of these detailed photos. As you can see...it appears that the figure will have two points of articulation - the neck and the tail. Hmm...it just so happens that those are the two tastiest parts of a raccoon.
Lulubell Toys has announced their latest exclusive figure - the Gold Rub Evilbat. The Evilbat is a part of Real Head's new Mutant Zone Series 3, and this is the 3rd painted release of the figure. Each piece has been sprayed with a metallic gold coat, then a layer of black is sprayed and quickly rubbed off to leave a textured layer. Final color details are then added to complete his evil look.
The pre-order price for 5" tall figure is $60 each.
Z-KEN, an 'art based toy' straight from the Netherlands (and Sjoerd Jorritsma), is 100% wood. (I wonder if it's imported - and good - Norwegian wood)
Bard is ready to release his handcast Deinos figures. There are five colorways so far: black, red, purple, orange and yellow. And there will be 5 pieces in each of those colors.
The first batch of toys will be released and sold at Bard's solo show - The Birth of Deinos - which will be in New York on the July 14th through 17th at Ouchi Gallery. This will be the only chance to get a hold of a Deinos for a couple of months, so if you want one, you'll have to make it to the show.
In 1978, the Forbidden Planet rocket was launched from a little comic book store in Denmark Street, London – a store still remembered with great fondness by many of their customers. In 1988, to commemorate the move from Denmark Street to New Oxford Street, Forbidden Planet commissioned acclaimed artist, designer and typographer Rian Hughes to create the world famous rocket logo and typeface.
And to commemorate 30 years in the business, Forbidden Planet decided to launch a pair of rockets. And while the original will surely appeal to some folks, we're enjoying the variant design from Matt ‘Lunartik’ Jones. This peeled banana version is limited to only 350 pieces worldwide and run £34.99 each. (I'll be honest...I didn't know what I was looking at as I scrolled down this photo)
