Pre Order Pink King Negora

Well after 3 months, the pre order King Negora is done and shipping from Japan ! It should be about a week or so till I can start my shipping here in the USA .. but at least there is a end pointΒ  πŸ˜‰ Thank you to everyone who ordered and waited ! There’s only about x20 of them, so you got a great figure coming your way and very limitedΒ  ;-P I;m not sure but might have a couple of extras .. not sure till they arrive so stay tuned.

By the way had a blast at Dcon, didn’t make it to all the booths I wanted too, but hey I’m old and walking around for hours is tough going (!) If you’ve not gone before I’d highly recommend it for these types of toys and art.

11th Anniversary Max Toy Company

11thanniversary_logo-01

Hard to believe we are celebrating 11 years !! Many thanks to fans both old and new for your support and kind words over the years. We have some cool things planned both near term and into 2018. I have to thank firstly my wife and son ( Max ) for their love the support. It’s not easy being self employed and on top of that be in the arts field. Big props to Yo-san in Japan for all his production help and full commitment to Max Toys. To the many artists and designers past and present my gratitude for contributing to the Max Toy history.

I’ll be at Dcon ( http://www.designercon.com/ ) Saturday Nov 19th, 2016 only. I’ll be roaming around but best chances if you need to see me (haha) are around the Rotofugi booth 902, I’ll have some custom figures for sale. But also check out our special Negora collab with artist, Josh Mayhem at Corner 12 booth – 732.

Here’s my Astro Boy painting for the Gallery Nucleus show, Official Tezuka 70th / Unico 40th Celebration art show, co-curated by Chogrin !

More details here, plus get on their email preview list, looks like some very cool pieces πŸ˜‰

http://www.gallerynucleus.com/gallery/530/exhibition/

My work is airbrushed and hand painted acrylics on illustration board. About 11×14 inches. Original art for sale only, sorry no prints πŸ˜‰ My concept was simple, showing Astro Boy three ways, Mecha guts, Normal outward appearance and a spacey Galaxy lookΒ  πŸ˜‰ Anyways, always glad to flex my art side of my brain from time to time… and it’s not a Cat ! ;-P

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 !trisculpt72

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 πŸ˜‰
