Collector Cards from Pobber

 

PobberCards

Launching on 23rd of December is a whole new screen printed adventure with Mechtorians.
Pobber ( the makers of the popular Humphrey Mooncalf vinyl toy) are launching a series of collectable cards with my artwork on them :

There is a total of 4 cards in the first set. Each Mechtorian card is limited to 250 original plus 50 GID variants. All cards are screen-printed on double thick French Construction off-white 100lb card stock in Florida USA. They are crisply printed, high quality heavy duty cards and we call them Collectible Art Cards.

All Mechtorian card orders will be shipped in custom packaging. For added protection, each card will be inside individual plastic sleeves before placed into a top loader so no scratches or dents will happen in transit to your collection. On top of that, i will be supplying some Pobber sticker goodies for every order.

 

PobberCardToyMaker

The Mechtorian cards will be sold in packs of 4 for $16. You are guaranteed a full set of 4 Mechtorian character cards when you purchase a pack but not every pack will contain the GID chase variant. So exactly how many packs are there? If you have been counting, that means there are only a total of 300 packs or 1200 cards across 4 characters for this series.

Amelia Incantatum for Halloween

 

AmeliaIncantatumFrontLorez

Well met by moonlight, miss Amelia Incactatum.
The second customised, one of a kind Bella DeLaMere Witch figures for my Halloween online release.

Recently graduated from the Yorkshire school of witchcraft Miss Amelia Incantatum is the latest spellcaster in a family who can trace their blood line back to the neolithic period. Though extremely proficient with potions and charms, her shape shifting skills are not so developed. She has been stuck with her tentacles since a badly researched transmogrification experiment during her last summer break…

Standing 9″ tall (without her base) this customised vinyl figure features a stylishly wicked hat, bunch of metal keys, spell scroll, jar of glowing magical particles and “crystal” wand. She stands on a turned wooden base topped with and etched and weathered magical circle sigil.

Amelia will be available for purchase direct from my online store on Halloween.
