So J*RYU put this up on Instagram. The forgotten remains on the cold Android floor isn't what makes this Invicta custom so wonderfully haunting. The quiet despair that sits within perhaps masks a malevolence so miserable that the tragically curious has to be reminded by the silent watchers of enwrapping chains, or perhaps she is afraid, afraid of who she is or may be, and has chosen a life within the cage. But whatever it is, Invicta stays true to its Latin origin, for this custom is indubitably the best of its kind- unconquered, undefeated, for a long time to come. // Watch the video HERE

Available at SDCC 2012 at Dragatomi booth, Invicta (edition of 5) belongs to a Custom Android Blindbox series featuring over 25 artists.

These kaiju kitties are sure landing faster than you can say pew pew! The first painted versions of the Micro Negora and Micro Nekoron and its accompaning MewShip made a brief appearance on the webstore. Even then, only 8 of the Negora and 4 of the Nekoron were available, the rest I assumed were snapped up by Max Toy Club members. Thankfully I was fooling around on Twitter when Mark tweeted. Let me just say this. The only reliable way to get such info fast, if you are not a MTC member, is to FOLLOW HIM. I'm all very happy now that I got one of each :3 MEW!

You had me at Terra Cotta

Certainly wasn't expecting this. So there's the BLUE GAZER dropping tomorrow and the MONOTONE GAZER for FTC, so it's natural to assume that FLABSLAB is going to get a colourway. Instead, we are getting a warrior panda, decked out in terra cotta, bearing the proud badge of bloodshed. Plus there's a Rurouni Kenshin mark on its forehead. I think it's fair to say, Singapore is one up on Japan :3 Priced at USD$350, these super limited edition of 2 are sold out.

But the question remains, who's getting the Red Gazer? Vinyl on Vinyl in Manila or SDCC. Hmmm~

Not for sale!

So this isn't one for grabs. Mark did this for the Japanese American Service Committee Chicago auction and I think it's sweet, both of him and the custom itself. Particularly, I love shiny feet. They should be made into boots, I tell ya.

Ain't no beautiful merman

Spotted these over at ONE UP and couldn't resist their kaiju charm. From 赤い靴ＣＬＵＢ or translated as Red Shoes (boot?) Club, come these adorable tiny Fishman at 700yen only :3 Admittedly, more people will find this biazarre but who really cares :P Fishman will conquer the world!


Also available are the Sea Kraken, raising tentacles in a great display of acrobatics. The Sea Kraken and Fishman set is 3000 yen :3

The Heroic Warrors vs The Evil Warriors

Geek-metre just exploded. But of course, before that, my first reaction was: what?! No She-Ra? Regardless, Patricio Oliver is certainly holding all the mighty power of Eternia with these two 60 x 40cm posters. Available at GEEK ART and let's just say, geek art isn't cheap. Best confounding trend. €40.00 a pop and limited to 100 pieces!

I am not sorry for posting this!

Yep. 24 and still going

Finally seeing some real stuff here. No surprises on Dark Knight (Quick look at Batman from SERIES 21), Snoopy or Felix but xoxo Gossip Girl is certainly dressed up. Much as I dislike myself for having watched three seasons of it before realising it's just another 90210, where everybody sleeps with everybody, the Be@rbrick looks rather decent, especially when you compare this with facepalm Be@rbrick. Yea. The one from Fringe. Not sure who did the Oriental Dragon but looks like something AW177 would do.

Favourite of the set got to be Charlotte from Puella Magi Madoka Magica. I got my wish. They did a witch :3

Charlotte isn't nice. at. all.

Widely speculated but now confirmed!

Mr Jeffrey Koh of FLABSLAB has finally spoken the words that should not be spoken! It seems like ages ago that the FIRST PAINTED GAZER BUSTS went live (it's actually only two weeks back) and Angry Woebots just dropped news of the Blue Gazers, available 25th May 1pm PSD at Silent Stage Gallery. He tweeted the Mono Gazer as well, exclusive to his event at FTC TOYKO on 31st May.

Life not in mono

Word is, if you want your paws on the Blues, shoot an email to sales@silentstagegallery.com right away for only a limited number of the run of 25 will be availlable online. (Click store HERE) Same good old price of $200USD.

And as for the Mono, it's an edition of two and from the INSTAGRAM COMMENTS, it's highly unlikely there'll be leftovers. :P

Fang to Fur

What bout the fans in Singapore? What is the edition size and colourway? Well, that remains to be seen but whoever that little panda is, thank you so very much!

Thor Lithograph

INVASION! has just announced that they will be hosting Mark Brooks for this year's STGCC. News spread really quick because local comic blog HEREBEGEEKS has already made contact on Twitter. Pervy biceps molester REDDOTDIVA has similarly left her mark. (See HERE). Me? I'm busy rationing out my expenditure this year! STGCC 2012 is gonna rock! :P

The cover you should be getting for the Con - Uncanny X-force #11 Variant

Definitely not a Takochu

Introducing etc. aka Barry Williams and another Kickstarter project which I will gladly back, and if you like octopuses (or octopi) (even octopodes) (I GOOGLED) as much as I do, especially Takoyaki mmmhmmm!, then you should too! Backers can expect Octo to come in Solid Colours, Two Tones (with fading), Pearlised (shiny!), Prints (Leopard, Tiger or Geometric) and Flocked. Phew. That's a lot of options but of course, they are in ascending order of backing.

Wouldn't it be cool to have a rainbow set of these Octo in Leopard Print? :P Man, it's so hard to decide! 19 more days to go! I have to back this dude cause he says he loves my blog and we share a etc. :P Joy.
