Our good friend Monster Island just sent us some pictures of his amazing latest custom paint job. This time taking Devil Boys Black Alavaka figure, that was picked up from the last Toy Mafia Event, and turning it into something that resembles a metal masterpiece.

Troy Martin has created a new series of custom Munnys & Dunnys he calls Kaprabob. The Kaprabob species live all over the world and are divided into specific clans, some friendly, some not so much. My favorite Kaprabob is a custom 8" Munny called The Executioner. Troy did an excellent job sculpting his horns and giving him an "evil" black & red paint job.

Bask in the glory of this latest custom of mine for Dream in Plastic's annual Custom Show. And then get your ass over tho their online store to buy something cooler! lol. This lil dude is fashioned from a Kidrobot Foomi with chunks resculpted using super sculpy, then airbrushed with love and a shit ton of turquoise. www.dreaminplastic.com | www.sourbones.com  

Back in 2007, Kidrobot released the Dunny Azteca series and a quickly coveted piece from the collection was The Beast Brothers designed "Quetzalcoatl" figure, an interpretation of the Mesoamerican feathered serpent diety of learning and knowledge. Now, six years later, the sibling duo return to their design and reinterpret as an immaculately formed 8-inch Dunny. These custom figures feature not only an intricately detailed sculpt but are also hand-painted and donned in a faux leather poncho.

After taking a brief hiatus, Shadoe Delgado has resumed production and has reintroduced his [Id] minifigures. These cute 2.5" shadowlings are actually custom Micro Munnys and they are currently available for $50 each. Shadoe will start producing toys and taking commissions again on June 21st, so if you'd like a special [Id] made just for you contact him on his website!

Wow! The cropped headline photo doesn't do this custom Munny from Riser any justice. Riser's well-honed professional prop building skills (he creates props for TV & films) really come through in this unique piece hes named Storm Drone 13. Riser obviously devoted many hours to sculpting, machining, sanding, molding and painting this custom and one can easily see it was a labor of love - with fantastic results!

This Friday, June 14th Rampage Studios in Tokyo, Japan will host an exhibition by Japanese artist Konatsu. The show will not only feature Konatsu and her famous Negoras, but will also show custom Shibaras (pictured below), Dinos, Ugly Unicorns, and possibly even a Manotaur… We shall see what exactly was present when the pieces go up for sale in the Rampage webshop on Monday, June 17th.

"From the chilly recesses of your refrigerator's crisper drawer a new Super Hero has emerged from the darkness and is standing up for the rights of his uprooted vegetable brethren. DeadBeet the Veggie Avenger!!"

Here are some photographs of one of the amazing customs M.Clancey created for last week's Dream In Plastic custom toy show. Titled Autumn Stash, this 7" Munny sits on a 7" wide wood base covered in faux moss bringing this custom to a height of 10". In addition to the wood and faux moss, M.Clancey used Super Sculpey and acrylic paint on this figure, giving Autumn Stash tons of detail and texture in the process. Autumn Stash is currently on display in Dream In Plastic (located in Beacon, N.Y.) and is available for $300.
