GR Biennale Haul!

Tuesday, November 3rd, 2009

biennale haul

My very own art pieces from the Giant Robot: Biennale 2 show! I can’t wait to receive them next year!

It was quite difficult to choose but I just focused on certain colors that I don’t have in my collection. I also find the Sun-min’s Monster piece really amusing. XD I like it a lot! I’m glad I was able to get one since they won’t be making those anymore — mold has been destroyed.

For those who haven’t adopted, there are still some left here.

Vampire Bossy Bear

Here’s another cool custom Bossy Bear figure. It’s perfect for Halloween. This custom piece was made by Okrabelo and was sold here. I don’t know who currently owns it though. Check out the artist’s other cool customs in the site.

Bossy Duck

This is one great custom I stumbled upon while looking for some Bossy Bear figures to buy online.

It is 100% hand painted by the very talented WuzOne. Painted with acrylic, markers and spray paint. Check out his other custom figures at his Flickr site. Really amazing!

A hand-painted Ice-bat kaiju by Cometdebris will soon be coming your way this November. A very small run will be released in the website so better watch out!

Mono Haul

Got my boxes from STITCH a few days ago. All of these pieces came from the Dehara & David Have Mono show.

Yey! More Ice-bats and my second Dave figure (the blank one being the first)! Actually, another box containing my third Dave arrived the day after. That makes a total  of 6 art pieces from the show. XD

My shelf is more crowded now…the wing span of the bats really takes a lot space. I need to figure out a way to fit them all. I’m also expecting more customs to arrive before the year ends. I really need to trim down my collection to fund and give way for new stuff…

(I posted more pictures at the Uglydolls forums.)

More Customs Bats!

More bats!!!

STITCH just posted some more custom bats waiting to be adopted. For those who haven’t gotten one, now is your chance to grab one. These bats will definitely fly out the window fast to their new homes.

Note that these are not your ordinary toys. These are works of art and are one of a kind pieces. Strictly for collectors and should be handled with utmost love and care. I understand that there’s a minimum required age to own them, but sadly even adults can mishandle such works of art if not taught or informed about the proper way in handling and taking care of them.

Drawings!

Monday, September 21st, 2009

Here are some of my favorite drawings that are being sold at the Dehara and David Have Mono show.

They’re expensive! Each costs 10,500yen. I like the designs very much though. The one with My Friend Dave showing off his collection of Kaijus (first photo) is actually my first choice if ever I’m buying a drawing. (Too bad it’s already sold…)

Worth the wait!

I just got my invoice for the figures I’m adopting from the Dehara & David Have Mono show. I’m really happy in scoring everything from my priority list. Got some pretty cool custom-painted Kaijus! Will post pics when I get them.

Check out the the available stuff here: http://www.stitch.jp/

It’s great these days that a single e-mail can get you great stuff, but nothing beats being actually there in the exhibit. Hopefully next time I’ll be able to visit Japan for these art shows.
