New Year!

2012-01-07T11:58:00.000-08:00

wan

Hey all! Just getting back into the swing of things from all the holiday mayhem. Firstoff,I had gotten some new equipment for some heavy duty pro stuff. My old Pressure pot kicked the bucket. So now I can do more casts and have way less airbubbles if any.
Secondly,OMFG! has been a big success! I just got my exclusive "Black" kickstarter set. Other goodies came with it; These are great looking figures,all the artists involved did a top notch job! These guys really take me back to the M.U.S.C.L.E and MIMP days. Great figures!
Thirdly,I would like to introduce SandBaggerz! These are OMFG M.U.S.C.L.E scale. I have a test clear cast "Baggler" andsculpt and paint "Sandbo". Coming soon!

Wow gotta love this time of year! I have not forgotten about my projects @ all. As a matter of fact I am rolling out "Ihmo Fett" a 3 3/4" Bootleg resin with random artcard! So you get a cool figure and a cool art card as well. Ihmo Phett is Sando Bagrissian's Arch nemesis. In the begining, Sando and Ihmo use to chill. But one foul night @ a sweet party, Ihmo started playing for the other team. Sando quickly rejected his ass and said "I can't swing like that dude" and then on out became enemies!
Be on the look out this Friday for the release of "Ihmo Fett as part of the "Sando Bagrissian Returns" saga!!! More pics and art cards to come!

Gaijin Warrior!!! This Week!!!!

2011-09-05T08:47:00.000-07:00

Thanks Again Ralph for some more of your awesome artwork!
Not sure exactly when to drop these this week. I'm thinking late Friday night ,Saturday night,or even Sunday night. I would say the sooner the better right?
So Here is the skinny. We got a total of 20 Vagabonds with variations and 2 chasers. Muramasa brother and Masamune brother. The two chaser figs are airbrushed. Each fig $25 ea. plus ship Blind Bagged! no additional shipping for ore than one. I will do my best for multiple orders to keep from getting the same color;)

The Gaijin Warrior "Super" fig is a more bulky build that incorporates the two brothers to become one as destined to defeat the "Final Boss" Not all have the joints parts but are a nice beefy build. These guys will have a sword,and random chest armor. Some pieces even glow in the dark!! The clear parts look pretty rad under a black light or U.V. lamp Each build is very different. I have 5 ready but may alot for 10 just for you guys. This will not affect shipping;) The Super Gaijin Warrior figs are $35 ea.plus ship. Multiple orders will not be charged additionally.
Tons of pics are updated on my Flickr page! Later this week I shall unveil "The Final Boss!!!"
All figs are eligible to get the mail away "Final Boss!"

Sando Bagrissian Returns!!! Gaijin Warrior Update!!!

2011-07-07T07:08:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,I've just been really Sandbagging here lately. This time of year is chaos with family work,and more family but it is all going to be worth it. I decided to revise Sando Bagrissian a 3 3/4" resin bootleg character I previously created. But this is going to be carded,maybe even a possible Bootleg 2 pack featuring his long time feminine Nemesis "EMO PHETT" Ha! Pretty funny huh? I want you guys to think back to some older movies that dealt with Mummies and saving the world. That is the direction I am taking with this.
Also Update on the SandMuppet Studios X Onell Collab "Gaijin Warrior." This Character is basically from the ancient "Feudal" real of the Glyos system. Based off of the Legendary swords "Muramasa"and the Masamune" The figures are going to be in three sets or variants .1:Red 2:Blue 3: Purple "Super Figs" I am hoping to release these babies @ the end of the month just as long as there is no interference with other artists and other drops. Stay Tuned!!!

Update: Bluestone Gallery "The art of Wil Wong Yee"

2011-07-02T06:16:00.000-07:00

Hello! Just wrapped up an extraordinary night of drinks,friends and this amazing art by a local artist "my Cuzz" through marriage,but like a brother to me Wil Wong Yee.You can view the W.I.P's in the link to his web page. My Flikr has every piece that was on display @ the show. See, every piece of course has it's own identity. They all have a meaning and are real from the artist. Wil has definitely applied "mileage" to every piece and going all the way as far as his talents would let him. My favorite is the featured "The Boxer" It just has alot of abstract elements but not all the way and is very unique. My wife being a animal print, exotic cat lover enjoyed "Kat"
Everything was displayed nicely and thought out very well. I do believe Wil is going to display @ other galleries as well. I wish you luck and all the blessings that the universe has to offer you Wil!

The Bluestone Gallery show

2011-06-12T12:33:00.000-07:00

My Cuzz Wil is bringing Columbus Ohio some of the freshest paintings to the Bluestone formerly Boma. There will be a couple local bands and lots of sweet art. Wil also mentioned he has prints of all of his art displayed. I know I am excited,because I seen first hand his amazing talents right before my eyes. He whipped up a sketch to painting in like an hour and a half.
I shall post pics of the show and availability of the prints and original art if anyone is interested. Hope to see ya there!

Thank You!

2011-04-05T21:02:00.000-07:00

Well it was a fun leetle mini drop. I shall be shipping next week some time. Just wanted to shout out thanks:) I may have the full figure I built available by Late Sunday if anyone interested;).

Sand Pirates AHHH!

2011-03-29T07:45:00.000-07:00

Just a simple but cool project I have been working on and off. This guy dates back to a year ago when I went on vacation. The "Sand Pirate" is Glyos compatible and will be available in a min release later this week. I have just one figure made but the heads and arms will be sold as accessories for you to build your own. All casts are urethane "clear". I am even going to make a special batch of "Pink Lemonade" glow packs as well. Stay tuned!!!

Kaiju Zoron Finished!!!

2011-03-23T08:13:00.001-07:00

Hello! I am posting an update for the "Kaiju For Japan" Custom. I give you Kaiju Zoron! This was obviously based off a Mighty Mug but with more twists and turns.First I applied my special sand paint to the vinyl. I airbrushed the crap out of this bad boy with trippy mixes of Flourescent and pearl paints. Kaiju is really not my typical thing but this cause was inspiring. It's amazing what people can do when others are in need.
Well Zoron has been a long time concept of mine. Basically an Alien Monster that can and will overtake or comandere other life forms to do his bidding. I hope you all like what I've done,and enjoy this character. I spent quite some time on this and I like it. Enjoy!

Kaiju Zoron!!!

2011-03-20T13:40:00.000-07:00

HI! Zoron Kaiju madness Kontinues! What is this? A godzilla like monster? Where will he go?
Still hacking away @ this Mighty Mugg dude. I believe i am done piecing this beast together so paint is being applied in the airbrushing bay. This is my first attempt into the "Kaiju" world. I just hope my Kontribution will be worthy enough for the cause;)
I can't wait to see more from the other artists. from what I've seen there are going to be some amazing things available. Amazing group of artists! I am proud to be part of this relief. We love you Japan!

Kaiju for Japan

2011-03-15T19:44:00.000-07:00

Disney's Vinylmation

2011-03-12T15:52:00.000-08:00

Where to start? Well while on vacation my family and I were introduced to a new weakness,Vinylmation. So being at the Disney World parks kept us exposed to this addiction @ every store they had. The newer series that came out ,personally are the best! Although the Urban and the Park series are veteran,there are still other series to not miss as well.
Just like when you buy a blind box Dunny or Munny, the Vinlymation figures can be traded @ certain sites as well all over Walt Disney World. Some fine local malls may have a Disney store as well. I have not tried trading @ those locations outside the parks. How the trading works from what I've gathered is you go in,if you blind boxed figure suck you can then trade with the clerk either a straight 1 out of three "Visibly displayed" trade or you can choose from a numbered blind case and get one shot;) Sometimes you can sweet talk them into more LOL! But either way it is fun and you also get a chance to knab the older figures that are not available anymore:) Well in my Flikr you can see what I have thus far. Oh by the way my Lucky little Daughter pulled 2 chase figures like it was nothing. "Lucky little shit!" LOL!

"Gaijin Warrior"

2011-01-13T09:55:00.000-08:00

Here is what's to come in another Sand Muppet release.Just a little teaser for all you folks. This is our "Gaijin Warrior", one of many figures coming out. I was having fun with some paint apps and sculpting this fine hat to make him kinda Samurai. There is going to be another character possibly two more in the line up. So far Gaijin warrior will have hat accessory,hand casted of course in Urethane also sword and custom casted head. There will be definite variations of this character and others. Stay Tuned for more updates this week!!!!

Cucuella Ginanta!

2011-01-07T11:47:00.000-08:00

Uh I know Hakuna Ma tah tah what??? Yeah I aquired a approximately 65 million year old clam fossil while vacationing in Myrtle Beach years ago. I researched a bit on this particular animal and is apparently the inside mold imprint. Unfortunately do not have the shell.
So getting to the point I plan on making some sculpts inspired by this fossil and maybe making some casts of this most defined piece. It is very inspiring and has many possibilities. Could be a cat piece or something else.
Art will be made of this I promise!

Fire in the hole!

2010-11-30T18:13:00.000-08:00

Also been messing around with Glyos stuff cause I love it so much. Behold the "Sand Diablo"! This will be used with Callgrim bodies to be more proportioned with the Glyos world. Following this project a inspired pirate head and accessories and a Republic Sand Bagger helmet is in the works.

2010-05-09T11:05:00.000-07:00

Hey all! Back from a wonderful vacation in OBX (Outer Banks) It was an eventful week with my wife and daughter. We had alot of fun with going to the beach swimming in the pool gift shopping and lighthouse conquering:). We traveled up and down outerbanks from Ocracoke to Hatteras,Corrolla and Nags Head. Amongst the journey I found an Awesome Tattoo shop called VERTIGO TATTOO and BODY PIERCING in Manns Harbor NC. My artist Jeremy Hunter did a superb job by inking me up during vacation. The original artwork was pulled from my head to the hands and talents of Brian Phelps a.k.a (tat2artst) On the Glyos forums. I originally was going to have him perform the work but my demanding job allowed that not to happen. I am very pleased with the work on my 2nd tattoo and slowly going to get more cause they are addictive LOL! More pics of vacation popping up as well as new inspired work.

Alot of people have been patiently awaiting his arrival. So stay tuned!

Coming around the corner some new designs and concepts. Colby and I have been working extra hard on a project that has lasted for a while now but it is going to be sweet. Right now I am casting up the shell accessory which can be used as a shield for defense.
I have recently been playing with some new Glo materials like :Blue, Deep Purple and V10 Green"the brightest Green I have ever seen". Anyways there might be some releases of custom glyos compatible heads in these colors. Who knows maybe the new project might be included.

2009-09-27T21:56:00.000-07:00
