H.A.C.K. Wave 2 Tease

Eat your Broccoli...before it eats you!

Check out this little guy... this thing is beyond charming... Simple, slick and executed to a "t"...

Paul Shih out of New Zealand via Taiwan is putting these out on a very limited issue..

Check em out here...

So what else ya got?...

Well since the Other World Aliens did so well it's time to do it again... H.A.C.K wave 2: Nature Fights Back is in the works... and I mean work! The sculpts are done and molds are made, yea I'm proactive like that... and just like the Empire Strikes back, this one is gonna be even better! More fight scenes, epic battles and Bounty Hunters! Well maybe not Boba Fette, but I have invited two sculptors to join in on this one to bring three all new, mind blowing, sculpts to market... immortalized in Carbonite.... er...I mean RUBBER! As you can see by the theme this is gonna be a wild one.... I'll be posting some sneaks as we get closer, so stay tuned Keshi Lovers!

In other news... Jimmy AKA Iron Mask was nice enough to post aobut the Other World Aliens on his blog... so check out what this straight shooter has to say about H.A.C.K!

Kruzilla!

Look at this new sculpt from Kobzilla out of Thailand! My guess is the scale will be 4 inches... I dig the clean lines and the overall feel of this piece. It looks to be dropping soon... I may just have to pick this up at the Kobzilla Store when it lands.

H.A.C.K reviewed!

H.A.C.K: The OtherWorld Aliens Gets a review by the University of M.U.S.C.L.E...  Click to see what the Mini-figure Gods have to say about my humble offerings...

Oh yea and the Uber Mini is a 80's boombox!

... it plays "in your eyes" by Peter Gabriel, just like on "Say anything"*

* that's not true... I can't back that up.

H.A.C.K hits the wild...

 So all the orders for the H.A.C.K: OTherWorld Aliens have gone out, and now they are hitting their destinations... that's right they are in the hot little hands of the folks who bought them. So hopefully I will hear some good things shortly... I, being a needy bastard, need to hear what folks think about them. I know Frank over at Little Weirdos, is gonna do a review and so is Chad over at Uof M.U..S.C.L.E... Chad even posted some pix at Little Rubber Guys. Again, thanks to these guys for letting the public know...

Micro-Keshi?! Oh hell yea!

Yea it's real... you should say something...

This is one of the coolest things I have seen in awhile... Now I loves me some Micronauts, and have been a huge fan all of my life... Keshi is a litle newer, while quite dear, to my heart. So who says you can't have both? Well this guy for one...Check out Bigman toys blog for the detes...

Gone baby Gone...

They are out the door (pronounced out tha dough!)... Thanks to all who have orderd the first edition of H.A.C.K Other world Aliens... I can't wait to hear back from folks once these land. My ADD can't stand to wait! So as soon as these land I hope to get some great feedback... There are still a few sets left so if you are waiting to see what others think, you might be ready to throwdown next week... I'm just sayin...

I'm baaaaack!

Ok so I have been wayyyyy out of the loop and let my blog go dark for too long. But the good news is... I have a whole bunch of cool update stuff to share. Since I last updated Shouju was on track and ready for production. Well I had  second thoughts after some good constructive feedback from some friends. So I went into hibernation for a bit... out of nowhere I got really interested in Japanese Keshi... what's Keshi? Short for Keshigomu, it's soft rubbery, usually monochromatic, mini figures under 2 inches tall. A great site for all things Mini-figures (and Keshi in General) is MXD. We knew this phenomenon in the 80's as M.U.S.C.L.E, here are a couple of good sites for that as well:  Nathans's M.U.S.C.L.E blog Here and  University of M.U.S.C.L.E Here. Now back more important topics: ME. Ok so I got into sculpting these Little guys and it's been a blast! Check out my FLCKR page to see them all...
