Info posted by Kano:

"Wassup everybody,

Well it's been a crazy month full of custom shows and deadlines and there's no better way to go into the following month with a toy release/signing. Presented by My Plastic Heart and yours truly comes the official Bodega release, sponsored by Bombin' magazine and equipped with quarterwaters and ghetto snacks for public consumption. MPH will have 30 pieces on hand so get there early before they decide to bounce and wreck havoc on the lower east side like a bunch of drunken gremlins.

There will also be some Bodega art created exclusively for this event."

HELLO I'M INSANE...

I lined up at KRSF for a good seven hours or so for this Insane Dunny release. It was raining, the line was a mess and all of Haight St. was packed. I met up with a couple KR Forum members including JustinJ and Metatron1050. All in all I had a pretty good time except for the rain. I might post up some pics of the actual event or I might not. lol.



The whole release at KRSF was INSANE!!!(pun intended)

New Releases by HUCK GEE

Later that night...
New Gold Life print

The Red Hand Gang has left a trail of destruction across the city's rooftops... and the city guard's air division is out in force hunting for them. But this still doesn't explain the Golden Claw's involvement. Something is afoot and Raku knows it. This Friday at Noon, the next print in the Gold Life series, Moonrise Rooftops. Each is printed on thick 100% cotton duck canvas (409gsm), 12"x24" (plus 1" border on all sides), gold embossed, numbered and signed. Limited edition of 80 prints, $80 each.

The Grandfather "Golden Ticket" AP Dunnys
Well someone screwed up didn't they?

It seems the original Golden Ticket Dunnys from Series 5 were accidentally distributed with the regular series Dunnys. Oops. No worries though, Huck got together with Kidrobot and they're producing a new colorway to correct the issue for peeps holding Golden Tickets. In the meantime, Huck's AP's of the Grandfather "original Golden Ticket" Dunny have arrived. Get em this Friday at Noon. Signed, numbered, 25 figures total, $100 each.

Limit one figure per customer.

New Dunny S5 Golden Ticket colorway to be released...

The Huck Gee Dunny pictured above was supposed to be the S5 Golden Ticket.

Info posted by ToyBaroness on the KR boards:

"Hi everyone!

I just wanted to let you know the deal with the Dunny Series 5 Golden Ticket Debacle

After doing some research it has been confirmed that all 600 pieces of the DS5 Golden Ticket Dunnys were sent out by accident. We tried locating the orders that we believed were incorrectly shipped, but were unable to track any down.

In response to this mishap we have decided to create a brand new colorway of the DS5 Golden Ticket Dunny. It will be limited to 600 pieces just like the orignial GT Dunny, but will be a completely new colorway.

ETA for the new Golden Ticket Dunny will be late January '09. Once we get them in stock at the warehouse we will begin shipping to winners."

FEATURED ARTIST: GRIMSHEEP

Grimsheep was one of the very first artists I requested a commission from. The moment I saw his work, I was hooked and knew I needed to get something done... From what I've seen so far Grimsheep likes to re-create comic book and movie characters while adding his very own artistic twist. His designs are extremely detailed and could be passed off as production pieces. My personal favorites are the Batman and Skull Squadron Customs. I really enjoy Grim's work and hope to get more stuff done in the future... If you get a chance be sure to check out Grimsheep's site: www.grimsheep.net. While you're there, feel free to hit him up for a commission or two like I did... LOL.

I wanted to know more about one of my favorite artists so I hit Grimsheep with a quick Q & A. Click through to read more...



AS: How's it going sir?
Grimsheep: It's going good, thanks.

AS: How'd you come up wit the name Grimsheep?
Grimsheep: I needed a name for an online game about 15 years ago. It's basically a combination of a local Montreal band "GrimSkunk", and the song "Sheep", by Pink Floyd. I liked the sound of it, and it was never taken when I tried to sign up anywhere online, so it stuck.

AS: How long have you been doing art/design work and what inspires you?
Grimsheep: I really hate when people answer a question like this... but, it seems like as long as I can remember. Getting paid, maybe 11 or 12 years. As for what inspires me... too many comics, cartoons, movies, and toys to mention, and these days there is just so much art, and artistic communities on the internet that I wouldn't know where to begin. Books currently sitting on my desk include some by Frazetta, Geiger, and Hokusai.

AS: Do you have a name for your particular style of art?
Grimsheep: Nope.

AS: When I look on your site I see a lot of web based design stuff... Do you design websites as well?
Grimsheep: Yeah, I worked as a web designer for a couple years. Now I do my own stuff and the occasional freelance job.

AS: You're a gamer huh? xbox or ps3?
Grimsheep: PC mostly, but I do have a Wii. I'm holding out for a redesign and another price drop, and then I'll grab a PS3. I loved my PS2

AS: Truth or Dare??? When asked this... Which one do you normally choose?
Grimsheep: I normally try to avoid Truth or Dare. No good can come from Truth or Dare.

AS: What can we look forward to, in regards to your work? Any upcoming projects? Future releases?
Grimsheep: I'm trying very hard to get pieces done in time for the Midwest Plushform Show which is raising money to buy Pocket Ninjas for Toys for Tots, and for the Delicious Drips 10" MADL competition. I'm also going to try to get a Skull Squadron series done in time for the holidays.

AS: Thanks for taking the time out GRIM... Oh and thanks for the new Stormtrooper Custom.
Grimsheep: My Pleasure.
