The Red clear Eyezon I was working on needed a little revision, and here is the final result. The new brighter eyes really pop alongside the shiny colors, and the blacked out back eyes add some interesting contrast.

Max Toy Co ‘Red Pontiac’ Clear Kaiju Eyezon Leave a comment
I finished this latest Kaiju Eyezon over the weekend and snapped some nice bright pictures today. The goal for this figure was to change it up from the earthy potato palette of the first two Eyezons, and go with some much brighter colors, and a much greater emphasis on the clear and the visible guts. I’m really happy with how this one came out… the colors have a great deal more subtlety than my other figures, with many layers, while still retaining a surprising amount of clarity. The silhouette of the guts can be made out with the figure in your hands, and up against the light, this figure goes up like a Christmas tree. I cleaned off a few critical spots of paint so that the guts could really be seen in-hand.
Max Toy Co Clear Eyezon With Guts 2 WIP Leave a comment
Working on another clear Eyezon with guts… this time, the colors are going to be much more wild, starting with the guts. There is going to be a much greater focus on the guts this time, so the paint work is more extravagant, and I tried something new on the clear body. I sprayed the body with multiple coats of Future, inside and out, before I put any paint on it, so it should be much more clear than the first clear Eyezon I did. I will update with some pics of the guts installed once I do it.
November Toy Haul 1 comment
Snapped some pics of my November haul, and was messing around with the figures that came back to school with me after Thanksgiving.
Elegab Puppet Seijin, Designer Con Evil Bat, GID unpainted Chaos Beast, Unpainted black proto Steven the Bat, Ikarawa Bullmark Legends Gabora, Real x Head mini GID Gatchigon, and “Halloween” Neo Eyezon painted by Mark Nagata on GID vinyl. Also, a pic of my new M1GO pink unpainted Greenmons keeping me company while I slog through a Bio Lab report.
Clear Kaiju Eyezon Leave a comment
I finished up this second Kaiju Eyezon before break, but only finally took good finished photos of it this morning. I painted this clear figure with translucent colors in a similar paint scheme as my ‘Sprouting’ GID one for a customer and painted the guts to match the plant theme. The ‘bones’ are all green in order to look like stalks holding Eyezon together, and the guts are colorful so they contrast with the earth tones of the body. I made the irises much smaller this time so the big clear eyeballs could serve as view-ports into the guts. With some light behind it this guy really shines, and all of the guts are silhouetted. I sprayed a bunch of coats of Future to give the figure a really shiny finish and get the colors as translucent as possible.
Collection Update Leave a comment
Vinyl figures conquer the shelves! Phil Reed’s (from Battlegrip.com) gonna hate this update… he’s currently trying to keep himself from falling off the vinyl cliff, and here I am pushing just about every robot toy I own out of the way for more vinyl! I’ve got standard-sized Kaiju up the wazoo… I’ve got a separate space for unpainted M1 Kaiju, sort of as holding area for them, and then a Max Toy Co shelf, with more Neo Eyezons on the way, and an ‘everything else’ standard-sized shelf. On the bottom is the Real X Head shelf… I’ve been having alot of fun seeing all the different colorways out there… especially in the Chaos family. Of note are the two Mark Nagata handpaints, Toybot Studios Rock and Roll Kemur Seijin, the SDCC Goto-san painted Drazoran, M1 Lucky Bag Red Ultraman, and the awesome Superfest Kikaida paint-scheme Chaos Adult.
Edit: threw a fight pic on the end.
October Shelves/Haul 2 comments
An update on the toys that were waiting for me at the end of this college term… some updated proper shelf shots are in order of my now awesome vinyl collection. Kaiju have muscled Gokin and Transformers out of the way to take over! Lots of M1 Lucky Bag blanks, a ton of RealXHead, including the first Gatchigon (Smokey clear with GID vinyl shards and green baby), and two non-vinyl victories, the Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers Megazord and Thunderzord, two of my favorite toys! Also note the Marka Nagata handpainted Captain Maxx, as well as my Toy Karma 2 Mark Nagata Neo Eyezon and Toybot Studios Rockin Kemur Seijin show pieces. Transformers-wise, I managed to score another grail piece, Micromaster Sonic, partner to Sonic Bomber, the missing piece of my Zone Powered Masters trio!
Eyezon Comission WIP Shots Leave a comment
So I’m working right now on a a clear w/ guts Eyezon based on the colors of my GID one, and here’s some progress shots. The colors are pretty much done, but I’ve still got to finish shining it up with Future and deciding how to do the eyes… I’m thinking very small irises so you can see the guts through the completely clear eyes. Thoughts?
Max Toy Co Potatoes in Action… Leave a comment
Had some unbelievably overgrown yams that were just begging to meet their role models. Too bad I’m still waiting on the new Eyezon minis, as they would have fit in perfectly!
Glow In the Dark Vinyls! Leave a comment
While I was taking the glow shots of Eyezon, I figured I’d take a glow collection shot as well! Here’s everything I’ve got so far, with more glowing stuff on the way! There’s the Eyezon, my DeadPresident’s Alien Xam ‘Baltan’, RxH Kozik Pickel Bigaro and Chaos, RxH GID Gachigon (and baby!), and the head on my Onell Phanost!
