MINOSU & THE GOLDEN BULL by HUCK GEE

MINOSU & THE GOLDEN BULL by Huck Gee
Only available @ Huck's Ebay Store

Info posted by Huck gee:

Coming this Friday, April 10th, 2009 at Noon PST...

Huck has outdone himself again. We knew this was going to be one of the more complicated projects we've undertaken but I don't think any of us expected it to be this overwhelming. We ended up running almost 3 weeks behind schedule on this little fella (quite a PITA, if you don't mind me saying) but we're really happy with the results. We hope you like them too...

The Legend of Minosu Ushi-Oni & The Golden Bull

We revisit the Gold Life world once again this week to revisit everyone's favorite bull headed, golden armored, hammer wielding, skull crushing beastie: the legendary Minosu Ushi-Oni. According to mythos, Minosu patrols the massive labyrinth-like grounds of the Glorious Soaring Munk's secret mountain retreat, perched atop his mega-mammoth-ian mount, The Golden Bull. Armor fitted, gear packed, flag mounted, and drum strapped... he's all set for the harsh job ahead.

Each set of figures is numbered, signed, and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each set. 10 sets of figures in this edition, $1500 each set.

Limit one figure set per customer.

Huck's Ebay Store (Noon PST, Friday 04/10)

You Asked, Kronk Answered! from Kidrobot on Vimeo.

Kidrobot recently gave their message board members an opportunity to ask artist Kronk a few questions that he would in turn answer as part of the "You asked, Kronk answered!" video interview. The video interview provides great insight on Kronk and his artwork as it even sheds some light on the design concept of his latest release, the 8" Tree Huggr Dunny. The 8" Tree Huggr Dunny is an edition of 1000, with a chase ratio of 1 to 12 and will be made available for purchase tonight at 12 a.m.(EST) through Kidrobot's online store for $75(USD).

DONATELLO DUNNY by NIKEJERK

When I first posted about the TMND Series by Nikejerk also known as Jared Cain, all that was available at the time was a teaser ad. Since then he's been busy at work and just recently revealed a progress pic of Donatello, one of the characters in the series. TMND is short for Teenage Mutant Ninja Dunnys and as you can see, Nikejerk has been putting in the extra effort to bring forth some quality custom work. Be sure to check back for when this project is complete, as Nikejerk and Always Seen will have a very pleasant surprise for those that frequent this site... Stay tuned!!!
