It’s been a while since we last heard from either Ironhauspro or Imperfecz Realms, and with good reason, as the pair have been feverishly working on an all-new wave of original keshi that will finally be making their debut soon… The Infestors! Kicking things off “Set A”, consisting of the Ironhaus-sculpted Venturo and Kraagh, the battling insectoids stand at around 2″ each, coming cast by Imperfecz in an “infectious” yellow rubber with brown rub. Coming packed with a single Build-A-Figure piece in a wide variety of finishes (more of which we’re guessing will follow in future releases!), the set will be invading the Imperfecz Realms store on Friday, July 4th for $30 plus shipping…

With the first wave of Scary Larrys finally making their way into collectors homes (sorry for the wait guys!), we can now reveal that NolanJP‘s second movie themed GPK-style figure “Iceclops” will be heading into production very soon! Paying tribute to Ray Harryhausen’s iconic beast in 1958′s The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the ingenious mash-up of monster and doll stands at around the same height as Larry at 2.5″, coming complete with, in true GPK style, an icecream cone horn and mace. Due to be cast up by Tru:Tek over at the Disart ToyLabs, expect a similar array of colour choices as Larry (including the standard 4 Cheap Toy tones!) as well as an all-new “multi-region” VHS box-style packaging. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks…

Having revealed both the SPIRAL ZONE Monoseed II (Rimfire) and Sophia III Blaster Master keshi over the past couple of weeks, we’re very happy to announce that both will be touching down in producer Eric Nilla’s store alongside a whole host of other custom keshi this Saturday, July 5th! Here’s a quick rundown of what to expect on the drop…

SPIRAL ZONE Monoseed II (Rimfire)- Hoping to right one of the few wrongs of the original keshi series, Eric Nilla has teamed up with Sanjeev over at Brown Noize Productions to produce one of the only Spiral Zone vehicles not to make it into keshi, the incredible Rimfire! Digitally sculpted at BNP, the wonderfully detailed piece features a 5-part interlocking design, coming complete with driver and standing officer. Cast up by Nilla in a flesh tone, keshi-style rubber, pricing and edition size on these are still to be confirmed.

Sophia III Blaster Master- Taken from the hard-as-nails NES game of the same name, Sophia III is yet another jaw-dropping collaboration between Nilla and BNP. Featuring a whopping total of 8 interlocking parts and 6 points of articulation, this will also be available in a flesh-toned rubber. Pricing and edition size have also still not been confirmed.

UoV II: Chaos Dimension- Featuring both Venus Maneater and Satyrant from the recent Universe of Violence reboot, the pair of keshi-scaled figures have been designed and sculpted by Justin “MetalMonkey” Gaze. Cast up in a limited store exclusive flesh for this release, expect the pair to come in at around $10-$15 each.

Fisto and Jitsu MOTU keshi customs- Having already recast a number of the original super-rare MOTU keshi to instant sell-out success, Eric returns with 2 new additions for the collection, Fisto and Jitsu! Meticulously recreated in flesh rubber (complete with original, untouched weapon sprues!), expect the pair to come in at around $15 a piece.

Other- Whilst not pictured, Eric has mentioned that a number of other figures will also be touching down in-store at the same time, including a fresh batch of Nama Niku’s Chopper Manzilla, plus Rampage Toys’ Nekos Fortress customs. Keep an eye on Eric’s Instagram feed right here for an exact drop time later on today…

Johan Ulrich over at Death Cat Toys has just revealed that he will be teaming up with Nerdone for a very special collaborative release, the “Neko in My Pocket” playset! Due to feature a reduced 2″ version of Johan’s signature Deathcat, the figure has been cast up by none other than Dubose Art in a plethora of different vintage coloured keshi-style rubbers. So how does Nerdone fit into this awesome project? Well it appears from the preliminary header art shown above, the wily little kitties will be released alongside the artist’s hugely popular MOTULOS sofubi playset! Whilst we can’t confirm any solid details at present, you can guarantee that as soon as we hear anything, you guys will be the first to know…

DKE Toys have teamed up with none other than MuscleThings for their latest SDCC exclusive reveal, proudly presenting the Necro Klaw custom keshi! Featuring a digitally scanned rendition of the iconic M.U.S.C.L.E Claw figure, the sculpt has been subtly altered by MT, coming with additional detail on the face finger, a number of oozing wounds, as well as that all-seeing eye in the centre. Hand cast in the MuscleThings Laboratory using a flesh toned soft plastic, the Necro Klaw has been limited to an edition of 100, each packed in a resealable clamshell with backer art from MT. Look out for the figure at the DKE booth (#5045) for just $15 a piece once the con doors open on July 23rd…

Johan Ulrich over at DeathCat Toys very kindly sheds a little more light on his upcoming collaboration with Nerdone, the “Nekos in My Pocket” playset! An ingenious mix of both keshi and sofubi, the super-fun set is due to feature 2 of Johan’s monochromatic rubber Death Cat minis housed in a fully painted MOTULOS castle from Nerdone- all coming packed with the beautiful header art created by Johan that you see above. Due to go on sale at an undisclosed location within the next few days, be sure to stay tuned for the full lowdown as soon as we hear anything!

Joining the previously unveiled Karnov mini, Newtervision is proud to present yet another all-new keshi that’ll be touching down at the “Paralyzing Toys” Wonderfestival booth next Sunday, July 27th, the Japanese cheap-toy styled Frank! The first figure in the artist’s “Deformate” series, Frankenstein’s monster has been beautifully realised in a super-deformed 2″ scale, featuring a 2 part design similar to previous Newtervision releases, with a soft rubber head/torso and hard resin legs. Produced in the standard keshigomu flesh-tone and packed in a custom gacha inspired box, Frank is likely to set you back around 3,000yen ($30)… Fingers crossed for an online release soon!

Custom keshi master Eric Nilla has just unveiled his latest original figure, the El Kaiju lucha libre wrestler! Drawing inspiration from afar a field as kinkeshi right through to classic kaiju, the stunning hand sculpted piece stands at an oversized 2.5″ tall, making him the perfect companion to the original Nilla x Ironmask UoV “Boss” figures. Due for release alongside another all-new figure from the artist (more on that tomorrow!), expect to see the little rubber guy in a whole host of colours on the Nilla store soon…

The guys over at ToyAsObject are proud to announce their latest custom bootleg release, the MiniNikku resin mini figures! Kit-bashed and re-sculpted by Object’s Sean Gallagher from a number of different classic M.U.S.C.L.E figures, the pair have been cast by none other than Kris Dufler in a multitude of matching one-off resin tints. Due to be sold through the TAO store soon for just $20 set, be sure to keep track of their dedicated Instagram feed here for solid release details over the next few days…

With the success of the first round of “Nekos in My Pocket” tucked firmly under their belt, Nerdone and Johan of DeathCat Toys have revealed that they’ll be teaming up again for an NYCC exclusive glow in the dark run! Presumably featuring the same template as the original playset release, we’re guessing that a painted glow M.O.T.U.L.O.S sofubi castle will be joined by a pair of DeathCat’s signature mascot keshi in a matching hue. Limited to batch of 20 sets priced at just $80 each, we’ll be keeping an eye out for the drop time and booth location closer to the event in October…

But wait, there’s more! As well as the NIMP playsets, Johan will also be debuting an all-new figure at NYCC too, Meowlty Cat! Currently winging his way to Dubose Art for resin production, the little guy will initially be limited to a run of just 10. Again, expect more info and a full reveal closer to the con!

Originally revealed as a near-finished clay proto way back here in early July, we’re very proud today to be able to reveal that NolanJP‘s second movie themed GPK-style figure, Iceclops, is finally undergoing production courtesy of Tru:Tek over at the Disart ToyLabs! Paying tribute to Ray Harryhausen’s iconic beast from 1958′s The 7th Voyage of Sinbad, the ingenious mash-up of monster and doll stands at around the same height as the previously released Scary Larry at 2.5″, coming complete with – in true GPK style – an icecream cone horn and lumbering mace.

As hinted at in our original post, this new version is set to follow the same template as the original release, coming complete with Nerdone’s M.O.T.U.L.O.S castle cast in a GID sofubi and hand sprayed by Ulrich, as well as 2 DeathCat keshi cast in a marbled black light reactive rubber courtesy of Dubose Art. Limited to a run of 20 this time around, the GID “Nekos in My Pocket” playsets will be up for grabs at the Monster Island x GNOSIS NYCC booth (#402) next month for an estimated $80 each…

It’s been a while since featured anything from Jimmy Rommel over at Ironhaus Productions, so it came with great pleasure today to find that the mini figure maestro has been readying an all-new creation for release this week… the “Three Head” Deadface micro! Seeing numerous incarnations since his first appearance in Universe of Violence – including our favourite, the dapper Deadface Worthington III – the skull faced voodoo warrior has been reduced to a tiny 1.25″ for this latest rendition, coming complete with 2 haunting heads resting on his shoulders- presumably the trapped souls of his many victims! Due to come cast by Jimmy in a variety of different colored rubber, the little guy will be touching down in the Ironhaus store later this week for around $10 a piece (TBC). Keep track of the dedicated blog here for the full lowdown on the release over the next couple of days…

Newtervision have just revealed that they’ll be following up their highly sought after “Frank” keshi with 2 more cheap toy-styled monsters in the ongoing Derformate series! Featuring the Igor inspired “Madman” and Jiangshi (Hopping Vampire) inspired “Pyonshi”, the pair have been beautifully realised in a super-deformed 2″ scale, coming in a 2-part design similar to previous Newtervision releases, with a soft rubber head/torso and hard resin legs. Produced in the standard keshigomu flesh-tone and packed in custom gacha inspired boxes, both Madman and Pyonshi will be up for grabs at Superfestival 66 over in Tokyo this weekend, coming in at around 3,000yen ($30) each… Fingers crossed for an online release soon!

“Despair is a demon from the 10th Circle of Hell; the level where people who make bad cinematic adaptations of classic toy properties are flayed for eternity. Not your average demon, Despair suffers from severe anxiety disorder and crippling depression. Satan himself even banished Despair from Hell for being a major bummer…

Cast out upon the earth in a fiery geyser of lava and tears, Despair landed in the parking lot of a comedy club that was hosting a weekly open mic night.  Despair put his name on the sign-up sheet, got on stage, and told his story. Since then, he has been punishing himself, night after night, on comedy stages of varying quality throughout the Midwest. He dances and lashes himself for audiences with hopes of selling t-shirts and CDs to drunk people who will not wear or listen to them.”

To celebrate the recent release of his album “Can We Afford This Much Despair?” on Stand Up! Records, comedian and avid toy collector Adam Quesnell has teamed up with illustrator Terence Brown II, October Toys, and our very own Tru:Tek of the Disart Toylabs to bring you the 3″ rubber toy of your saddest nightmares… Behold, DESPAIR! Standing at around 3″ of 100% UV resistant rubber, the super squishy figure was designed by Terrance and sculpted by the OT team, coming cast in a multitude of colors and finishes by Tru:Tek (M.U.S.C.L.E flesh pictured). Set to drop during Halloween at the end of next month, be sure to stay tuned for a 360 reveal, a full list of colorways, pricing and availability soon…

We’ll be winding things down here at Man-E-Toys ahead of our trip to New York for NYCC next week, but before we go, we’ve decided to give you guys the full lowdown of exclusives that our very own Tru:Tek will have on offer at his joint booth (#208) with Rampage Toys at the Tenacious Toys collective.

The Disarticulators

Oozeball Resin Prototype/OG and NYCC excl. Sofubi Pre-Order: It’s finally here… the long awaited sofubi Oozeball! A follow-up to last years hugely popular keshi-ball release, the DA’s Tru:Tek has completely redesigned the figure from the ground up for the new medium, opting for a more organic, Ooze-It like face, paper clay-style textures and the pièce de résistance… a hidden face inspired by Georges Méliès iconic 1902 silent movie, Le Voyage dans la Lune! Beautifully sculpted by none other than Zectron, the 2-part design has been upscaled from the original 2″ diameter to little over 3″- making it both more in-keeping with the classic Madball scale, and, more interestingly, compatible with a wide variety of mid-sized kaiju with the base removed…

Debuting at the con in prototype form, a strictly limited batch of 10 grey resin casts have been produced by Tru:Tek, each coming packed in a custom dated, signed and logged box for added authenticity. Available from booth #208 starting preview night (10/9), these have been priced at $75 a piece… But that, of course, is not all! Joining the proto release, The Disarticulators will also be offering up the sofubi version for the very first time via preorder. Available in 2 different colorways; a standard “OG” in a pantone perfect Ooze-It green and an NYCC exclusive in a silver lamé (glitter), both are due to be produced by Rampage Toys in a squishy soft vinyl, with an estimated shipping date of late January/early February 2015. Priced at $40 each – inclusive of a special NYCC extra to be revealed closer to the shipping date – these will be available right through all 4 days of the con in unlimited numbers… To those unable to attend the con, stay calm, we haven’t forgotten you! The interested few can expect details of the “OG” version’s online release next week…

Limited to an edition of just 5 priced at $60 each, these will be available throughout the con starting Preview Night on Thursday, October 9th…

Limited to an edition of 10 one-off tints and finishes – including the elusive “gift only” neon purple – the 2.5″ tall figures are set to come packed in premium foil bags, selling throughout the con blind-bag style for just $25 each.

Debuting at the con in both flesh and GID colorways courtesy of Tru:Tek, both editions have been limited to just 10 piece each, coming bagged and headed with art from Gabe for just $30 a piece. On top of the main runs, a number of blind-bag one-offs will be available at various times throughout the con, so be sure to head over to the booth and check them out!

Records, Adam has teamed up with illustrator Terence Brown II, October Toys, and our very own Tru:Tek of the Disart Toylabs to bring you the 3″ rubber toy of your saddest nightmares… Standing at around 3″ of 100% UV resistant rubber, the super squishy figure was designed by Terrance and sculpted by the OT team, coming cast in a multitude of colors and finishes by Tru:Tek, including; Marbled Orange/Blue (ltd 20), Stealth (ltd 10), GiD (ltd 10), Neon Green (ltd 20), Neon Purple, (ltd 20), Neon Orange (ltd 20), Hot Pink (ltd 20), Flesh (ltd 20), Red (ltd 15) and Blue (ltd 20). Touching down in the newly opened FAQ Comedy store on Halloween night (10/31) at 6.66pm CDT, Despair will be up for grabs “open bag” style, coming packed with a download code for the album at just $25 each plus shipping… But that’s not all! On top of the many, many different colorways on offer from day one, Adam has also teamed up with Stand Up! to provide the label with their own exclusive releases. First up we’re promised a red/black marble with a super-limited clear blue to follow shortly after- expect more details on both of those soon!

Blurble has revealed that he’ll be following up last year’s hugely popular Goo & Roo mini figures with an all-new custom bootleg creation soon, the Blood Brothers! Kit-bashed and re-sculpted by the artist from various vintage minis, including Bam Bam Ji and Warsman from M.U.S.C.L.E, the two headed beast has been cast up by Dubose Art in a marbled pink and blue keshi-style rubber. Presumably featuring alongside Blurble’s extensive line-up of releases for DCon next month, we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed for an online release of the little guy soon after…
