Now up for pre ordering is the latest Kaiju Axron ! Painted with Dino Rage Red v color over Flesh vinyl base 😉
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 figures 😉
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 ! 🙂
If you want a copy of this or other toy images Shifty has created, please contact him below.

I have the following customs for SDCC from our good friends at Squibbles Ink / Rotofugi booth 5248 ! Pricing via their web site : http://www.rotofugi.com/home
above: Winged Kaiju Eyezon
above: Ultimate Saikobi
above: Alien Argus
All customs painted with Monster Kolor paints and are one of a kind. Each is signed & dated on the feet.
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 😉 Using Monster Kolor paints, there is a depth of color that pictures can not replicate .. you will be amazed in person 😉
Coming up, Comic Con custom pictures will post soon and will be available via Squibbles Ink / Rotofugi booth #5248 and a Space Dragon Dog for artist Martin Hsu booth #4530.
Hand painted by Mark Nagata using V color paints, this new Tropical Kaiju TriPus is now on sale in our web store ! Only a few remain, so hurry ! Sorry to report our first shipment of Ultimate Saikobi and the Negora v Koi have sold out. We should be getting more Saikobi in soon, so if you missed out don’t worry more are on order. Plus a fully painted version soon !
Now up in the web store are these two new, one of a kind, Kaiju Mecha Nekoron customs by artist Will Long (@buildbots). These are really cool, soft vinyl figures that have been “kit-bashed”, adding details like tanks and hoses and a special weathered paint scheme. If you know Will’s work, he’s know for such attention to details and you won’t be disappointed !
Later this week, we’ll be posting up these new rainbow clear mini Kaiju Eyezon with glow guts ! Less than 12 of them for sale, each painted with Monster Kolor paints by Mark Nagata. And, last but not least, a few clear Pink micro Negora with no paint !!
Next week on Saturday, June 6th, 2015, I have this original painting (left side) in Bwana Spoon’s FOE gallery show. Check FOE for more details, lots of good stuff to be had !

Just completed this insane Winged Kaiju Eyezon for a fan as well 😉
And last but not least, the final Hello Kitty Kaiju figure is now on sale at the Japanese American National Museum (http://www.janm.org ) store. There was a limited release online but they are now sold out. However, you can buy one in person still but one per person. No phone orders or email saves, sorry to say. Its while supplies last and this being the last weekend of the Hello Kitty 40th Anniversary show, I don’t expect them to last too long. I wanted to take a moment to not only thank the Fans for buying this figure but to Sanrio, Jamie at JapanLA and to Maria Kwong at JANM for their help in making this possible. Many thanks to Makino-san for the perfect sculpt, to Shimizu-san in Tokyo for casting all the vinyl pieces, to the Maruyama Brothers for hand painting each one in Japan and to Yo-san the Man in Japan for coordinating all the production. In order to make one toy there are many people who do their part, so you can have something to collect. So the next time you look at one of our toys or even a toy from Target, just remember that there are humans and hard work behind them 😉
We’ve got a new t-shirt Pre Order ! One of my favorite artists, Javier Jimenez has designed this super cute Nyagira Cat Kaiju shirt for us ! Its being printed now by Monster Kolor / Dead Presidents Design, and Made in the USA.
Please order via our web store here :

It’s a Pre Order, so we estimate this will take about 3-6 weeks to get them, but you’ll save a few bucks by pre ordering now 😉
Now a word about the Max Toy Club, and how the heck do you join ! Yes, I’m sorry, I’ve been slooooowly working on this but we are so very close to re-opening the club in another month or so. When we do you’ll get a brand new Club Kit, re-designed by Javier Jimenez ( yes ! ) plus new goodies … and a special Max Boy figure only available from the Club. Full details very soon and thank you for waiting !
And, coming up Friday May 22nd, 2015, I’ll be attending the special closing Party for the Japanese American National Museum Hello Kitty 40th show. A bunch of artists in the show will be there, too, signing books. I look forward to meeting you all and I’m not suppose to say, but there should be one last Hello Kitty Kaiju released 😉
Shhhhh, don’t tell any one !
Check out the Max Toy web store for more random customs posted and new product in the coming weeks !
Thanks for the support, it sounds hooky but without any orders, well I couldn’t keep making these toys, so thank you !
We’ve got three cool releases !!!
First up, these all glitter Kaiju Negora 😉 No paint on them so you can enjoy the clear vinyl with glitter infused in them ! We’ll post any left overs in the Max Toy web store on Tuesday May 5th, 2015. Warning they may sell out to Club members ;-(
Second, we have a new colorway of Mecha Nekoron ! This on white vinyl, with black details, silver spray and red eyes ! Nothing like a Mecha Cat in my book 😉 Posting up tomorrow as well to the web store.
===================
Working on a bunch of projects & more releases … many of them you can see via my Instagram: @maxtoyco or hit the button at the top of the page !
And don’t forget we have a few custom Nyagira’s still so check them out in our web store. Search “Nyagira”. Show will end soon 😉
New orange Kaiju Negora goes on sale tomorrow in our web store ! Very limited quantities and hand painted by Mark Nagata. Max Club members get first chance on them … and this weekend is ToyCon UK ( http://toyconuk.com ) in London. Have a micro run of these two Negoras available at the HangGang booth. Also have some customs at the Kaiju Monster table (http://www.kaijumonster.com). And saw this auction via Mandarke for a Captain Maxx original illustration. We had commissioned this a few years back for a Max Toy event and print and looks like the original is up for bidding in June. 😉
