MAN-E-NEWS// A slew of new projects from Miss Zukie…

We were beginning to worry that Alison Perez aka Miss Zukie was showing signs of slowing down (ok, it’s only been a week since our last Zukie post!), so it came with great pleasure yesterday to find not one, but three new custom projects and a contest announcement in our inbox yesterday! First up we have the absolutely hilarious “Fishing Sux” custom 7″ Munny. Created for the upcoming Kidrobot Munnyworld Contest, the beautifully sprayed and hand painted figure comes with three koi fish (a mother and 2 babies) profusely sucking on the poor little guys head! Alison has really upped her sculpting game on this piece, with the addition of subtle detailing on the feet, claws and mouth really helping this custom to pop! Unfortunately, we have no news as to whether this piece will be available to purchase after the event, so be sure to stay locked-on to Alison’s blog for updates…

Next up we have three new custom 3.5″ Teddy Troopers. Continuing her popular “Krun-Churz” style, the first has been coloured in a mixture of green, blue, pink and purple sprays, coming with the trade mark b/w eye detailing and chomping teeth that we all know and love. The other two take a more aquatic approach to design, featuring a beautifully sculpted octopus and the return of the “Fishing Sux” koi to dazzling effect. All three of these guys will be heading to the Zukie store this week for an undisclosed price…

Rounding off the trio of customs comes the return of Zukie & Munko! Featuring two brand new designs (the baby carrier and egg protector), the hand sprayed and painted customs are our favourite in the series yet. Set to drop alongside the Teddy Troop customs, expect to see these little guys in the Zukie store for around $40 plus shipping this week…

As well as a huge batch of customs, Alison has also been working on bringing her fans another treat, the Zukie Photo Contest! As from today, Alison wants you to snap your Zukie, with the top three most fun, craziest or interesting photos set to win one of three cool prizes! Professional photography is by no means a must, so be sure to get snapping and post your entries before the April 25th close. In need of a Zukie? Alison still has a number of Tiny Zukie charms for just $6 plus shipping on the store. Here are a few examples Alison sent over to get you started…
