For ToyconUK 2019 I have created four unique custom Mechtorian figures from Tinpo toys. Each of these delightful little fellows will be available from my booth for just £100 each.
They are all different and each come with a cast metal key.
If any remain after the Con they will first be offered to my Patreon “First Dibs Club” and then make their way to my online store.

This weekend I launch a new 3″ Dunny Custom figure series.
I have created 10 custom Dunnys using all original toy parts with no castings.
This series is set to launch at Toycon UK with remaining units available online after the show
Unlock your potential!
You have great things inside you!
Just find the right key and your inherent promise will be set free.
Robinson very strongly suspected that in his case they meant a literal, actual key.
So he collected them.
And tested each one to see if it was the right one.
He could feel that potential inside..
Tickling and wriggling to be free.
Once he unleashed it, he would be unstoppable!

I recently finished this custom of a Kaws Companion for a collector.
He has assembled his shiny new nervous system upgrade kit himself.
But has one small part left over…
Hopefully this wont prove to be a problem later…

At my booth at Toy Art in Leeds this weekend I will have this new, original Mechtorian figure available and a couple of customised toys too.
Gaffer of the largest metal mill in Retropolis.
Controller of the production of rolled Brass destined for use across Mechtoria.
With his assistant “Bud” he manages production and distribution of the raw material of Mechtorian existence.
The very stuff from which most of his robotic race is fashioned.

Is a group art show paying tribute to the Heroes, Heroines, Villains, Villainesses and Creatures of Cult & B Movies.
I am super excited to be part of this UK based show inspired by things close to my heart.
Mounted by the new UK company Think Tank it proves that events don’t have to happen in London to be cool.
I will have several pieces in the show. Including some new Copper Creeps characters in very limited numbers.

A new Custom work :
Autopsy Turvey, customised from a Luke Chueh Target Bear, the “Self – Medicated” edition by Jason Freeny (produced by Munkyking).
So that makes this a custom of a custom..
Three artists have had a hand in it. Quite an oddity.
1000 Toys from Japan produce a range of hyper articulated 1:6th and 1:12th scale figures called the Synthetic Human.
Late last year they took an exhibition of customised Synthetic Humans out on a worldwide tour of conventions adding new artists at each venue.
I was one of the lucky creators asked to take part in the first round of the tour and created Douglas J Machen for the show. A Mechtorian Satyr of mythical provenance.
This is one of my most complex creation to date requiring a new approach to my working practice in order to retain the wonderful articulation of the original platform.
Standing 12″ tall the figure uses Epoxy, Polyutethane Resin, Acrylic, Steel, Aluminium, Brass, Leather, Lead, and Found Objects in his construction.
If you are interested in delving deeper into the construction processes used to create Douglas you may like to join me over on my Patreon page. I have just embarked on a ten part series explaining in great detail how I bought him to life.
I wish him safe travels on his tour.
And who knows, maybe we will be seeing more of him in the future.
