Not content on resting on the laurels of his hugely successful Toy Karma 3 exhibition which opened it’s doors last week (full update featured below), Max Nagata of Max Toys has just revealed his entry for the highly anticipated Heteromorphism show, set to drop this weekend (September 24th).
In-line with his offering for Toy Karma, Max has once again turned his customising talents to the jaw-dropping Eyezon kaiju figure, creating a new cutaway version replete with beautifully gruesome innards. The one-off toy, standing at around 12″ tall, has been hand sculpted and painted, but rumour has it that Max is planning a limited production run through his prestigious company (keeping our fingers crossed on that one!). Check the photos below for both work-in-progress and final production shots.
Heteromorphism, curated by Dream Rocket’s Junichi Yajima, is set to feature kaijus and art toys / customs from a huge selection of American and Japanese artists including the mighty Touma, Cocomahee, Black Rabbit, and Matt Walker. Housed at the respected Double Punch gallery, San Francisco, the exhibition runs until October 13th. Check the Tru:Teknology Files in the coming weeks for a full lowdown on the show’s exhibits.
Heteromorphism press release-
“Heteromorphism – Definition: Having different forms at different periods of the life cycle, as in stages of insect metamorphosis. This exhibition curated by Junichi is to express creatures, monsters, kaiju or anything Heteromorphic that lives in the imagination of the participants.”
Toy Karma @ Rotofugi Gallery: Update
Featuring a host of the kaiju scene’s most prominent artists, including Rumble Monsters, Paul Kaiju, Spluurt and Bob Conge, Rotofugi proudly opened their doors for the third Toy Karma exhibition last week (September 10th).
Featuring the most extensive range of up-and-coming kaiju yet seen, collectors and enthusiasts can now view and purchase all of the shows exhibits through Rotofugi’s web store. Unfortunately, due to unprecedented demand, most of the pieces have already been bought up by attendees of the show, but there’s still a few gems waiting for anyone who can cough up the cash (prices for remaining pieces range between $50 and $1,600!).
Here’s a small selection of what to expect-
