After an awesome 7 days away on the unique isle of Cuba (first week off this year, woot!), we’re back with all the latest news in the ‘alternative’ art toy scene, including exclusive H.U.S.T.L.E updates, reveals of our latest projects under the new ‘Disarticulators’ umbrella (a collaborative effort between our very own Tru:Tek, Zectron and Bigmantoys), plus news on the various upcoming shows we’ve been so very honoured to be asked to take part in over the coming months! To kick off our return, we’ve decided to give you guys a quick rundown of the best news we missed on our trip away, starting with the second wave of custom bootlegs from upcoming artist themarkultra…
New custom bootlegs from themarkultra…
After a very successful debut release last month, themarkultra is back with a second wave of custom bootleg figures! Dropping in themarkultra store last Friday, the series consists of 3 all new figures; the moon headed Night Moves, kaijin inspired Mkultraman, and an astronaut known quite simply as Dave, all coming hand cast in resin, this time around sporting some awesome Monster Kolor flourishes. A huge step up from the first wave, we seriously can’t wait to see what this promising artist comes up with next… Wave 2 have been priced at $16 each, with 5 super-secret one-offs available for just $22 plus shipping.
Rampage Molezilla from Plaseebo x Kaiju Coup…
Bob Conge aka Plaseebo revealed the latest Molezilla release last week, the ‘Rampage Molezilla’ in cahoots with Kaiju Coup. Coming in an ultra limited run of just 2 pieces, the 7″ tall blood-drenched figure has been hand painted by Plaseebo, featuring a grisly severed head of an animal testing lab assistant in hand cast resin by Kaiju Coup. Due to go on sale in the Plaseebo webstore tomorrow (December 11th), pricing on Rampage Molezilla is still to be confirmed…
Little Ox first colourway release…
Following the ‘Unfold’ show info we posted a couple of weeks back (check it out here), Alto and Creo Design are back with details of the very first Little Ox colourway release, Iron Ox! Designed by Alto and hand cast by Creo, the awesome resin figure comes in a unique metal finish, proving weighty and cold-to-the-touch… Limited to an edition of just 10 pieces (including 1 secret chase), Iron Ox will be heading to the Alto store this Friday (December 14th) at Noon GMT for a wallet friendly 325 (approx. $40) plus shipping.
Christmas UU’s from Rampage Toys…
With the holiday season approaching fast, Jon over at Rampage Toys is proud to present his latest wave of sofubi, the Christmas UU’s! Originally planned for release last year, a hold-up in the factory meant that the aptly titled ‘Spectral Beastcorn’ UU’s had to wait a whole 12 months before seeing the light of day… at least they were well worth the wait! Looking somewhere between a yeti and a gnome, the awesome hand painted figures each come with a hand sewn cap created by Jon’s wife. Limited to just 10 pieces, the Spectral Beastcorns can be found in the Rampage store for just $45 plus shipping…

“These rare anemones have been found by Dr Taylor Curio herself on one of her many exploratory adventures. She has managed to procure some of them for you to re-home.”
Getting back to her roots on her latest piece, Penny over at Taylored Curiosities is proud to present her latest mixed media designer plush/art doll…Combining fleece bodies with painted cotton faces and woolen tentacles, the unique looking 5″ tall creatures are available in an initial ‘Purple Inaria’ colourway, retailing for just £20 plus shipping in the Taylored Curiosities store… Stay tuned for the Seedling Warrior test shot we promised before our holiday tomorrow!
