BxH Gillru-Kun

February 23, 2011 - by Nick
Check out this new Bounty Hunter figure! The new Gillru-Kun figure is the latest figure from the maker of what most consider to be the original Urban Vinyl toys. Looking like a supremely tightly sculpted figure inspired by the Creature from the Black Lagoon this looks to be the perfect BxH figure for those like me who were more than a tad disappointed with the Kumaru-kun and its accompanying plush version - yuk!

Jon Paul Kaiser JAWS

February 21, 2011 - by Nick
I think that customising a Coarse Toys JAWS figure has become almost a sign of status for customisers out there. I mean nobody in their right mind would buy such an expensive toy and then repaint it if they were unlikely to be able to sell it afterwards. So most people who have attacked this most awesome of figures have been comissioned to do so. Similar to how Kaws figures were never really customised till people comissioned them.

The Real x Nibbler

February 21, 2011 - by Nick
This is such an awesome collaboration to be able to write about, knowing Chris (aka The Tarantulas) as we do here at Clutter Mag. This figure is the resilt of a triple headed collaboration between Chris, RealxHead & Onell Design and was born out of all 3 parties involved being at SDCC last year! Chris's original design of the Nibbler has been interpreted into RealxHead's style by Mori and sculpted and produced in Japan in the lovliest vinyl imaginable.
