Sorry for the late post but Max Toy released a bunch of one day licensed items at Wonderfest 2015 Summer (more toy pics soon). Some of what was released included more cool Yokai figures .. sorry we do not have extras and I can not sell them outside the event (!) So do not email me about them (haha)
Also had a informal gathering over the weekend to paint some toys with Monsterkolor paints π It was cold and windy .. typical SF weather, but a good time talking Kaiju toys.
and last but not least here’s a peek at my custom for the upcoming Kaiju Gals “Happy Birthday Parade” show in Tokyo. See previous posts for more info and if you’re on Facebook they have a page under Kaiju Gals, so check it out for all the other artists involved as wellΒ π
Offered to Max Toy Club members, if any are left I will post them to the web store tomorrow. Glow in Dark Kitsura painted by Mark Nagata. Kitusra is a Fox character by artist Candie Bolton. Sorry if you don’t get one !
Thanks to Deb for this nice shot of Kaiju Eyezon at the MOAH museum in Lancaster, California.
Show runs thru September 2015, visit their site for more info: http://www.lancastermoah.org
And coming up August 7th – 12th, 2015 in Japan is the Kaiju Gals, Happy Birthday Parade custom show. More info via their web site: http://kaijugals.wix.com/hpd-parade
This is weird and funny … so Kaiju Eyezon is waaayyy in the background in this new movie called Trainwreck !
Thanks to good buddy, the super talented Jimbo Matison – http://jimbomatison.com – who helped dress the set in this scene as well as did the interior design for the bar it takes place in. Jimbo and I go way back, in fact part of my Japanese toy collection was in his Chronicle book, So Crazy Japanese Toys ! ( http://www.chroniclebooks.com/titles/so-crazy-japanese-toys.html ) and he’s the guy who inspired me to come up with a Japanese toy magazine … not to mention making me “think” outside the box on my projects. A true renaissance man !
I have a several versions of Kaiju Eyezon toys and art work in this upcoming museum show at MOAH – Museum of Art & History, in Lancaster, California. There’s a bunch of artists in it and you can get more details on a Vip opening this Friday via their web site: http://www.lancastermoah.org
Also have a small run of hand painted mini Alien Argus in the museum store. Not sure if they will be posted online or not, but maybe send them an email if you have interest.
Yes, Art Toys or in this case, Kaiju toys in a museumΒ π
Now up for pre ordering is the latest Kaiju Axron ! Painted with Dino Rage Red v color over Flesh vinyl base π
Usually I just paint a run and sell them, but this time because I have to hand paint all the teeth I decided to paint them to order ;-P I’ve gotten a head start, but expect shipping on them to start middle of next week. Rawr !!!
I recently had the pleasure of collabing with Shifty toy photography ( @shifty_toys ) on this special 14 piece, custom painted Negora ( by Mark Nagata ) with print, Kaiju Negora set. Inspired by the Cheshire Cat & Alice in Wonderland ! The result was this stunning photo by Shifty !!
Check out the process pics as well. The set is fully hand built with later photo manipulation. The result is a moody but fantasy filled image, with nods to Kaiju Eyezon ( see the tree hands !), and other “hidden” Max Toy figuresΒ π
I’m sorry to say that Max Toy club members bought them all ;-(
We had fun with this project, so stay tuned for another collab very soon ! π
If you want a copy of this or other toy images Shifty has created, please contact him below.

Just posted up in the Max Toy web store, a couple of custom painted figures by Mark Nagata ! Using his Galaxy style applied to a Kaiju Negora and Alien Xam ( thats Max spelled backwards ! ). Both feature stars, galaxies and more spacey details …plus glitter coatings ! Both are one of a kind figures π Using Monster Kolor paints, there is a depth of color that pictures can not replicate .. you will be amazed in person π
