My original painting of She-Ra will be in this Mattel themed art show at Gallery1988 (west) curated by Chogrin ! Acrylics on illustration board by Mark Nagata
Details below ! Contact the gallery for more info !
Had a fun time painting Cyclops for @planetasia , sorry they are sold out now ;-P
Been a busy week here at Max Toy ! First we have unveiled two new sofubi kaiju ! Sculpted & redesigned by PicoPico is our brand new Kaiju TriPus !
you can transform Tripus by gently heating the head, popping off the eye and turning head over, plugging it back into the body and replacing eye into the open hole. Really cool way to make him look different !
Above is the test shot in vinyl (left side) and the original sculpt by Pico Pico (right side)
And the new header card painting for the package by Mark Nagata 😉
First release very soon at TaiPei Toy Festival and on this web site …so stay tuned for details !
And our latest collab with awesome artist, Jay222, is his creation and sculpt of Chubz the Cat ! Here’s the test shot in vinyl looking very full ;-P
Chubz is a two part figure, head and body.
Chubz will debut at TaiPei Toy Festival and here very soon so make room in your Cat Toy collection for him !
and look for these new Rainbow style micro Kaiju Eyezon very soon ( well as soon as i can clear coat them ! ) I’ll drop them into the the web store this coming week ! 
Now in stock and randomly shipping ! We just received these Gacha-Maxx figures painted by the factory ! There are not many of each so when you order we can not guarantee you’ll get one, but if you don’t try… ;-P

Yay ! Thanks for the support !!
Hi All ! Just a few updates most of which have been posted to my
Instagram (@maxtoyco ) !
Many thanks to Rotofugi for once again hosting my customs at their booth via SDCC 2016. Humbled to see they sold out 😉
Via Facebook friend, Edouard Jean Le Duc , this artwork with King Neogra was shown on Canadian TV ;-P
Story is at the 14:55 point – http://www.cbc.ca/player/play/728127043954
Sold Out ! Sorry about that folks, we only had x3 sets for sale and they went super fast. Ameri-Cat vs Bat-Cat. @shifty_toys customized the Bat-Cat and I have to say from the paint app to the custom cape by @bunnykftwr stunning work !!! We’re working on a new series so stay tuned and yes this time we’ll make more available 😉
And finally spent sometime filming stuff for a future project .. but that’s all I can say !
This amazing new sculpt by Pico Pico, is off to have a wax made and iron molds 😉 More details soon … but this one is huge and awesome ! 😉
Be sure and check out the custom Dragon Boy I did over at artist Martin Hsu booth 4530 at SDCC 😉
Many thanks to Joe, Kirby and the Rotofugi crew, once again I will have some customs for sale at their booth – #5248 ! There’s only one of each (these are one of a kind !) and prices are as follows:
Clear Eyezon (with guts) will be available for $435, while the newer style custom Kaiju Eyezon will be $350. A glow in the dark Saikobi is $375, and finally, a mini Kaiju Tripus will be available for $135. All prices are sales tax included.
Let me say, that Joe, Kirby & Whitney are hands down my favorite store/gallery but more importantly, just really good people. If only other “toy” folks and artists I deal with were like this, well, the toy world would be perfect 😉 Please take the time to stop by their booth and buy something (doesn’t have to be my customs) to show your support.
While I won’t be at this years SDCC, we’re working on something for later this year 😉
Sorry a bit late on these posts .. but here we go !
Have a few customs in this show now taking place in Australia at Outre gallery !
Plus my custom for Ugly Con now at Giant Robot gallery .. Ugly Galaxy ! www.giantrobot.com
and last but not least later this week, we’ll have NEW Gacha-Maxx colors … Grey, Flesh ( Fresh ), GiD ( glow in dark ) and clear Pink ! When you order, we will randomly give you one of these colors ( and brown ) .. you can not pick the color or the character ( one of ten different ones) .. just like in a gashapon machine ;-P Good luck and hope you get the ones you’re looking for … Gotta Collect Them All !
Sorry for the lack of updates here… been very busy painting customs for various upcoming shows in the next few months … plus randomly dropping some into the Max Toy web store 😉 Not to mention working very hard on the special thing for 2018 😉 I should be able to reveal it in 2017 (haha) .. it’s gonna be a good one so stay tuned !
Here’s a look at some projects on the way …
