Munny!

Due to the fact that I've been keep seeing alot of munnies lately, finally decided to get one myself to know what's all the buzz about. Got myself a 4" munny, boy, I'm impressed! I really gotta give credit to Kidrobot for coming up this brilliant design that is so simple, yet its so standing out in a way. Anyway, here are the pics:






Now they just made me realize how far I have to go...



Edit:



............ THE BEST AD I've seen for a while now.

Random Update

Been spending most of the time these days on a project that "we" decided to kick off lately. Therefore haven't been active with the blog post until I had no reason why I woke up at 6am today just to realize that my photobucket account reached to its limit. It's fixed now, but thinking of going to switch to flickr now.

Anyway, got these two books in the mail the other day, great reference books for collectors!

Its called I Am Plastic: the designer toy explosion and Full Vinyl. Both books are published in 2006 but still makes a good reference material!



And here is a sneak peak inside of I Am Plastic:







For sneak peak on Full Vinyl, you can find it here: http://www.notcot.com/archives/2006/12/full_vinyl.html

Also went back to Rage Tube the other day, decided to go over the concept once again because for some reason it looks out of proportion now.

Oh, ignore the dude on the right......

Unicorn Ver.S

So finally got chance to post this thingy. Got it most of the work done back in end of May but never really got chance to finish it off. The main focus on this build is on the color scheme and the V-fin. Want to give it some kind of angle. Enough talk, here are the pics:

Mold Done

So finally got the mold done. (the rubber mold was done on Friday actually, but need to finish the plaster hard cover on the outside.) Instead of block mold, this mold is done in a more traditional way. It costs less and more common for traditional artists. So here is a look inside of the mold:

The green part is the rubber mold, and the white part is the plaster cover to protect the rubber mold.

And here is the casting result:

Not bad IMO, except the fact that there are few air bubbles on the mold.
