Awesome Bear by Phil Lumbang x Dragatomi Sculpted by Chauskoskis

Other Prototype work i did recently for the folks from Dragatomi, they will be producing the signature character from the artist Phil Lumbang, "Awesome Bear".

 It was recently shown at SDCC 2012 at the Dragatomi Booth, this figure for sure will be a huge success, and im glad to be part of it, this was a tricky sculpt to do, but i think it came out pretty...AWESOME! 

It have 2 points of articulation, no date informed yet for the release so you better keep an eye on Dragatomi site.

Antichrist 666 X Frank Mysterio X Botaz Negraz X Chauskoskis

Antichrist 666 is a character created by Frank Mysterio, sculpted by myself and financed by the 3 of us, (mostly by Botaz Negraz and Frank) It will be the very first vinyl figure by Frank Mysterio in case that is not good enough it will be made in Sofubi! Yes that means it will be made in soft vinyl back in Japan as only the Japanese Masters can do it!

Figure was secretly shown around SDCC 2012, so far everyone got only good comments about it.

Now im working on minor changes to make it easier to pull out of the molds. so expect some changes here and there. final pics soon.
Stay tune, as we will reveal release dates eventually.
And no... None of us is Satanists!

Ok, i guess i should make a proper post about my nominations as finalist for the 2012 Designer Toys Awards!


Its pretty exciting not only because i have 4 nominations this year, (more than anyone this or the past year) also more nominations than anyone on the short life of the DTA awards (second year), what really is pretty dope is that i was voted as a finalist by the DTA board, formed by a few dozens of the best artists and experts on  the toy thing and whats even better is against im competing now, all awesome artists and some of them great friends... good luck to all and hopefully wins the best.
The ceremony/party for the awards will be in october during NYCC.


By the way 2 of the categories im nominated for are for public voting, so if you like to support me or support any of the other guys and girls go here:

What is also pretty cool, is that if i not win anything this year i will be the BIGGEST loser ever on the Designer toy Awards! that is kinda cool! LOL

Gary Ham's sofubi Wooper Loopers unveiled, to be at SDCC

"It’s been said that I look like a lizard,
I’ve even been called a newt!
I’m neither or either, I’m my very own creature,
I’m a Wooper Looper! Woop Woop!

I have toes and I swim, I regenerate limbs,
I think the gills on my head are quite foxy,
Sadly, some people like to eat me, 
They fry me and pair with Sake.

I’ve traveled by air, by sea, and by land,
I’ll be yours, your new little chum,
This outcome you’ll see, as happy as can be,
Brought to you by Chauskoskis and Ham."

Wooper Looper is finally here on his first colorway!
After a long year of productions test and samples by the masters in Japan, Wooper looks so simple, but it give the factory big challenges, like the Gills, and the fingers and toes, mostly because of the small size of them, and the way the vinyl has to be pulled out of the molds, so they had to make some slight changes on the original sculpt here and there, but it came out fantastic, Sofubi toys have some magic, and the fact that each figure is different from one to another, flaws are beauty :D Really excited about having a Wooper in hand next week in SDCC 2012 grab yours fast because these little chums are going to fly out of the shelves!
