10x10_web

Toy blogger and Artist Andy Heng who runs TOYSREVIL (http://toysrevil.blogspot.com/2015/02/toysrevil-turns-ten.html) blog, celebrates his 10 years of blogging and promoting Art Toys & Toys. I’m honored to be asked to help Andy celebrate .. details soon  😉 I had the pleasure of meeting Andy in Singapore several years ago. Not only a good guy and gentleman, I really don’t know how he does it all on his own at a nearly 24/7 pace ! His passion for Toys and Art is evident and we wish him much success for the next 10 years ! Go Andy !!!

Wananeko Fundraiser Meow !

JJ_project

Javier Jimenez has just started his IndieGoGo campaign to make his original character, Wananeko, into a Japanese made Sofubi ! It’s only been 24hrs and it’s 78% funded !

Javier, is a super talented artist from Spain whose love of Toys & Japanese culture really comes thru in this project. On a more personal note, Javier is a hard worker and good guy. He’s one of a handful of new Kaiju artists on the scene now that represent the future of indie Kaiju.

He still needs your help so follow this link:

and help him out if you can. Meow !

Happy New Year ! Lets get right to it .. first go on over to Kaiju Vinyl Legion, they will be offering this micro release of hand painted Kaiju Eyezons ! Limited to 4 pieces, each hand signed and painted by Mark Nagata using Monster Kolor paints.

This Saturday, check out the Text & Pictures show at Giant Robot, I have this hand drawn pen & ink Kaiju text artwork in the show. Sorry for the small-ish pic, but it’s about 8×10 inches on bristol paper, framed. Retail is $125.

I’m getting 6 of these special GID King Negora. The special part is we used blue glow vinyl, the result is well blue glow 😉 The remaining pieces are now in the web store: http://www.maxtoyco.com/shop_item.php?id=969

Also shown is the decomasu of our newest character Ringo Racoon 😉 Designed and sculpted by Pico Pico. This hand paint is used to make the metal paint masks … first release very soon, so stay tuned.

You’ll also notice that we have a revamped web site ! It was along time coming for sure .. let me know if you find any glitches or if something about it bugs you ;-P It will take awhile but hope to repost the old content at some point too.

Stay tuned for a Mechavirus Ammonaito release painted by me next week via Max Toy site… details in the next email. I’ll also be dropping random micro runs of various Max Toys in the web store so please check back.

And look for a new Sanrio x Max Toy Hello Kitty figure release only from Japanese American National Museum 😉 in January.

Thanks again for the ongoing support !

Your Kaiju Pal,

Mark
