Feline Heroes stands

So if you loyal readers haven't seen the new Thundercats series, I highly suggest that you do! In my opinion it's WAY better than the original, and it's so much better that I've actually gone a bit out of my way to get as many of the toys as possible. At this moment, all I want is the Tower of Omens because I have just about everything else minus the 6" Panthro, Lion-O and the role-playing toys (sword of omens).

One problem I had, was that my Cheetara had warped legs from being packaged and all the hot water in the world couldn't warp it back. I tired. So what does a smart, individual like myself do? We make a stand! Pretty neat huh?

A project like this is not as easy as you may think but somewhere in those cracks of free time I had, I managed to craved this out. It came out SO well that I've made it my featured item in a new venture.

I've opened up a new web store "Cassette Man Studios" dedicated to toys. Either extra stuff I'm selling off or custom projects like this. So head over there is you're interested in stands for your 4" Thundercats!

Contest time!
The first person who can post in the comment section, what the reference to the name of the webstore "Cassette Man" is, gets a prize! What that prize is I'm not sure but it'll definitely be a toy!

Toy Fail #6

Apparently someone returned this "mini rig" with a bunch of accessories and kept the figure. Doesn't anyone take pride in their jobs? ugh...

TUTTZ Glyos press release

So I finally got the ok to preview one of the MANY projects I've been working on.

Here's the press release written from Argonaut Resins.

Hey all,
as promised here are some teaser images of the secret project I'm collaborating with Onell Designs Matt Doughty creator of the famous Glyos. Rob Losito introduced me to Matt at the New York Comic Con last year and suggested we work together since I was a big fan of the Glyos figures. What we came up with is the Bad Luck Squadron! A fighting squad of mini Tuttz action figures. This project was going to be a lot of work so we brought in artist Victor Durango (that's me!) to help with designing the bodies, accessories and all the paint work for the entire line and the One Cam and  When Giants Meet to do the the project photography. We will be releasing more images and pricing of the first wave in the near future on the Glyos site....and you know me - there will be lot's of surprises in store!

As always thanks for your tireless support!

So there you have it, one of the many projects that I've been working on.

Hope you guys like it and keep an eye out for more info on this blog!

Summer Break

Hey guys! I know there hasn't been a any posts lately but I've been busy. I've got multiple toy projects going on at the same time and I've hardly had time to go toy hunting. All I've been doing is waking up, working and going back to bed mostly.So I'm taking a break from blogging for a bit.

UNLESS it's about a toy project that I'm working on because I know SOME of you guys out there are into designer toys and that's what I've been working on. Including helping END of Argonaut Resins produce Sneakerheads for Cookies N Cream.  So check them out!

On a side note, I gotta say, Jboypacman is a BRO! We worked out a trade a while back and I've been meaning to show you guys what I got, he really hooked it up. Not only that but Jboy CONSISTENTLY posts comments here. If that doesn't make him BRO I don't what does. Btw, Jboy, I still got your Warpath, I'm just having trouble finding an extra I'm gonna throw in.

Anyway, hope you guys are enjoying your summer, remember to play with your toys and be sure to send me b-day gifts as mine is coming up VERY SOON.

Nah, just kidding, you don't have to, though my b-day is August 10th!

Foreign Friday #5

Motion Revive Series: Kamen Rider Series 2, The Bee by Bandai.
I don't know much about the Kamen Rider: The Bee but I know he was featured in Kamen Rider Kabuto, looks pretty cool and I got him at a rockbottom price of only $3.99!

Toy Haul Thursday

Sorry guys no Then & Now this week. Haven't had the time to set it up. So instead you get a toy haul. Haven't gotten much, but these past few weeks was somewhat fruitful. Also, if you're having trouble finding Marvel Universe figures, I suggest Marvelous News' forums. That how I scored Archangel and Crossbones!

Random pic of the week

On the prowl for trouble.

GOOD NEWS!!!

You guys remember this, right? Well, this project is moving full steam ahead after some hiccups. I'm hoping to have this done on or before New York Comic-Con but I'm not making any promises. I'll keep you updated though!

Transformers Tuesday #4

Kup here is from the Transoformers Generations line. Really digging how Hasbro is slowly updating their way towards the 86' figures, even though they missed a few of the 84/ 85 figures.

Mini Monday #8

Another Cap Monster from Dragon Quest but this time it fits over soda bottles. Japan sure does have some interesting toys, don't they?
