Partyball is Paul Kaiju’s contribution to the Monster Family line, and a super fun little sculpt. This custom will be at the FOE Monster Invitational Show in July. I continued my experimentation with mixed finishes and also tried something else in a fit of inspiration. I had been looking at Warhammer 40k models and was inspired to try out some more technical airbrushing to do glowing engraved symbols. Read the rest of this entry »

M1GO ‘Real Type’ Vira Seijin 1 comment
Vira Seijin hails from Ultra Seven and is totally silly looking. The sculpt screams ‘real plant’ to me, so I had at it on a flesh vinyl blank. This guy will be at the FOE Monster Invitational Show in July.

The Mightin sculpt is a fun little mini, and receptive to all kinds of fun colors. This blue and green one will be at the FOE Monster Invitational Show on July 8.
Max Toy Co Minis Leave a comment
You can never have enough Max Toy Co minis, especially now that there’s two new molds: Dragigus and Drazorus. These two are the first release on glow vinyl, painted by Mark Nagata.
Every day it seems like Captain Maxx has more and more villains to face!
Max Toy Co ‘Real Type’ Tripus Leave a comment
Because I’m feeling nice, I figured I’d give you guys a FOE Show teaser this week. This guy will be a the FOE Monster Invitational Show in July. He’s a realistic take on the mini Tripus sculpt flesh blank. I went for matte with shading on the squishy bits and shiny jade-pearl for the fish scales.
FOE Gallery Monster Invitational Opening July 8 Leave a comment
Foe Gallery is having a Monster Invitational show in July that I was fortunate enough to be asked to participate in. The lineup looks awesome, and I am totally humbled to be asked into a show alongside such good dudes. I will start postings pics of my pieces next week, but won’t post them all before the show opens. The show is for vinyl kaiju, but there might even be an exclusive bonus Killer Culture debut for people that go to the show 😉
Here’s the info from the FOE page:
July 8th – July 22nd, 2011
FOE has curated a group show paying homage to monsters. The idea of monsters is as old as civilization and what society defines as monstrous changes and morphs through time and culture. Depending on when and where you grew up, it’s likely some version of monster, urban myth or story shaped your fears and nightmares. No one escapes this rite of passage. Come out to see how 20 different artists from westernmass to Japan interpret their own unique fears, repulsions and pleasures. It may sound scary, but monsters are fun too, and fears confronted (or exercised) are fears conquered.

Clear red vinyl with opaque and clear paint. The black lining was an experiment that I’m pretty happy with.

Ultraman Mebius versus Impelaizer! Leave a comment
Banpresto Impelaizer Leave a comment
Impelaizer is a mean alien warmachine that shows up in Ultraman Mebius and wrecks house. It features three devastating beam weapons and the ability to regenerate damage. Impelaizer shows up in the middle of the city and puts the hurt on Ultraman Mebius. I won’t spoil the whole episode, but a surprise guest star has to show up and help save the day. This figure comes from Banpresto as a crane game prize, and is awesome.
