November saw Kidrobot launch series 2 of Mechtorians collectible mini figures.

This is a huge thing for me.
Since the original series was launched back in 2006 I have been working to get a sequel series released.
Over the years I have gone down several development paths with several companies. All of which ended for one reason of another with nothing released.

But last year the mighty Kidrobot stepped up and offered to usher more mini Mechtorians into the world.
And what a stunning job they have done!
I could not be happier with the results!
The figures are wonderful..

On December the 3rd at 6pm UK time my AP full sets will go on sale via my online store.

Each set of 14 characters comes individually signed and numbered.
They are housed in a point-of-sale display box such as you would find in a store.

In addition, each set comes with a mini print featuring line work for the figures in the series. This print is exclusive to this AP set.

There will be 20 sets available.
Each set is £250 (shipped).

The blindboxed 3″ tall vinyl characters are also available now from Kidrobot direct as well as all their stockists worldwide.
Look for them wherever Kidrobot toys are sold.

A new range of resin mini figures.

Tit for tat – Hat.
Get ahead! Get a hat! In this case literally.
In Mechtoria any object from a building to an item of clothing may in fact be a sentient person with their own opinions and desires.
So putting together a harmonious outfit may take on an entirely different meaning.

For Designer Con I have created a very limited hand painted edition of just 10 pieces of each of the three new Tall Titfer characters.

Each figure comes with a real solid cast metal key.

There is the Teal Topper, Emerald Bowler and Red Fez.

Each will be only $50.

A small number will be available on Preview night.
The rest will be open for sale at the main door time.

Any remaining after the show will be offered online.

Mayday is a magical time.
A liminal time.
A dangerous time!
On this night the Mandrake roots scramble free of the soft earth.
And dance in the light of the first moon of Spring.
They sing their unearthly, piercing songs,
And cavort in wild circles in the twilight.
To hear them brings madness.
To spy them brings doom!
Beware on your nocturnal ramblings!
Less you witness things not easily un-seen.

A new series of Mandrake Enamelled Pins from The Art Pin Collection launch this Mayday from Rotofugi in the USA, and from The Mechtorian Emporium in the UK.

Four versions are available at launch:
Brass & Greens, Brass and Yellows, Copper and Reds, Steel and Purple.
Each pin is 1.5″ tall and has two fasteners. Each comes carded.

I sculpted the original piece in 2014 as a high end art sculpture. Now 3D Retro have transformed her into a stylish and affordable addition to your home decor. The classically styled bust of Anesthesia was inspired by the incredible marble work of Raffaele Monti (1818–1881).

The regular unsigned version is available now at 3D Retro.
The signed AP version is available now from The Mechtorian Emporium (with FREE International shipping).
Each of the 12″ tall busts comes in a window box and has an edition run of only 50 pieces.
