Three weeks into summer and I'm ready for Fall please! Just kidding. Even though Georgia summers are notoriously hot and humid, they can also be quite beautiful. Green things are growing. Animals are singing. And best of all, stray cats like to show up around the studio this time of year, and it's always nice making new friends. I could do without the mosquitos and ticks though. Ah well, you gotta take the bad with the good!
Anyhow, enough of me going on about summers in the south. We've got toys toys toys, and it's all completely random! I've been going with the flow lately, just painting what comes my way and dropping things in the shop at random dates and times. Sometimes it's a one-off or maybe a blind micro-run and perhaps a fun collab thrown in the mix. I think I'm probably going to continue doing that for the rest of the month, because... well, it's fun and simple and it's hot and I'm lazy.
So there you have it, and consider this your heads up - one day you might see something fun in the shop, and the next it might be gone. I might post something about it on instagram, or maybe I won't because social media can be hard to keep up with. Regardless, I'll try to always make sure there's at least something new here to tickle your fancy, at least for the rest of this month. So stop on by whenever you get the hankering to, and I'll try to make sure you're never disappointed!
APOS TOYS COLLAB
I’m very excited to once again collaborate with Apos Toys for this upcoming shop drop! Apos Toys is one of my favorite toymakers, and every new figure he comes out with just impresses me more and more. When it comes to monsters inspired by nature, Fuma is the best at capturing a whimsical charm that’s hard to find these days.
I’ve painted up an assortment of micro-runs and one-offs for every single character Apos has created thus far. They will all be dropping in the shop Saturday, April 16 at 12 Noon Eastern…
JUMORA “Metal Mage” micro-run - $90 each
MINI JUMORA Micro-run - $25 each
GORONGA “Cave Crystal” Micro-run - $90 each
SNAKE SKULL Micro-run - $25 each
1 BINZOMBIE One-off - $90

BEELZEBUD Lottery
Only one more day ‘til Halloween! Who else can’t get the Silver Shamrock jingle out of their head? I won’t lie, this Halloween has been a stressful one, but what better way to escape the world’s problems than by quarantining yourself in a paint cave and burying yourself in work. Would you believe I’ve painted 170 toys just within the month of October? Yikes!
Anyhow, the 2020 Horrorthon is coming to a close (at least I hope it is haha) and we’re finishing it off with a special mashup. Budfoot X Boogey Boy = Beelzebud! This is a hand painted micro-run of the first official Beelzebud release. Because I’ve enjoyed painting this guy so much, I think I’m going to try and execute a new Beelzebud release once every Halloween for at least the next few years. Perhaps a new demonic head each time? We’ll see!
