“Lambert loves his match – don’t try and take it off him or he’ll kick off metal dragon hidden fire style.”
Rich over at UME Toys has sent us some pics of his latest custom pieces, the first coming in the form of ‘Lambert’ the clockwork dragon. Painted in an expertly weathered bronze colour scheme, with a heap of extra sculpted detail (including a beautifully ornate clockwork key, and of course, the obligatory UME monocle and ‘tache!), the custom Kracka was created for Andy Kelly’s (@ZombieKel) forthcoming ‘Dragons Custom Toy Show’ at the Sho Gallery,Cardiff, August 18th 2012. More news on the exhibition soon…
“Come down if you can as there’s going to be many awesome artists/pieces to check out and if you’re lucky you could score a custom and help out a great cause in the process.”
Second up comes ‘Goose’, a mixed media custom sculpt created by Rich just for fun. Based on a witch doctor inspired scribble from a while back, the worm infested beauty should be available to purchase from the UME Toys store some time soon. Here’s hoping Rich will produce a line in this style at some point; the stick thin legs, instantly recognisable sculpt, and considered use of colour would surely make one awesome production figure…
