This is sort of an oddball post, but I realized that my Studio Plastique Kaiju Battles photos never ended up on the site like I promised. It’s been a quiet week while things are happening behind the scenes, so here’s some kaiju in the real world photos for you all. Images are 3000 pixels on their largest dimension, so you guys can resize them to desktop backgrounds no problem.
This guy was the main event from the Khorne-inspired painting frenzy, and for my own collection. I painted the inside with red pearl and then clear red, and painted the details from the outside. The burning hot markings and leaking power were finished tinted white lines applied with a razor sharp brush.
Bob Conge has a new kaiju design that he is looking to get made in US vinyl named Molezilla. The project is on Kickstarter now and looks pretty cool. A pledge of $50 gets you a 7″ blank white figure, which is pretty cheap and supports US artists!
In my last box from Japan I got a bunch of Secret Base figs from a blowout sale on YJA. These three are some of the elusive Secreters, the best SB releases out there. Secreters are all Skullbrains, my favorite mold, and feature clear elements, pipecleaners, freehand sprays, and awesome homage color schemes. After the jump, enjoy some yummy unpainted vinyl.
The Blobpi is the smallest version of the main Blob design, and is adorably fun.
Sunguts is a JP vinyl maker known for his awesome line of cutesy kaiju minis, but he has done some larger work as well. Queen Yulisis exists as a cute mini, but was also translated into an awesome, gigantic standard sized sculpt. I painted this Queen in colors reminiscent of the old Bullmark Guiro Seijin, which features my favorite vintage paint job.
Ceekoar Argus is available at the TAG Shop now, along with some other fierce custom Arguses (Argusi?)
UPDATE: Looks like my Argus has sold! Thanks for all your continued support.
TAG posted this preview of the Alien Argus show postcard on their Twitter! I am sooo excited to see this show open, and wish I could be there myself. See if you can spot my figure on the card (twice!).
Update: Remember the show opens tomorrow night!
Mobile Police Patlabor might be my favorite mecha anime. I am all about down and dirty war shows like VOTOMS or Gundam 08th MS Team, but the combination of more civilized real robot action and the fantastic characters make Patlabor a fantastic series. In Patlabor, mecha (labors) have become an everyday thing for everything from construction to war. As with all new technologies, labors are abused, so special police divisions are created to combat labor crime with their own Patrol Labors (‘Pat’ ‘labor’).
