Art of Bruce Whistlecraft

I am pleased to say I was invited to participate in the re-launch of Boglins.
This classic line of 1980’s toys has been reworked and reintroduced by Clutter with original creator Tim Clarke.

As someone who worked on the original line of Mini Boglins back then it has been fun revisiting these mischievous little characters and messing with them.
You can see all the artist’s versions at the Clutter Gallery from Nov 12th to Dec 2nd. Drop them an email to get on their previews list if you may be interested in making a purchase.

Rockabella Delarole
Metal head! And metal body for that matter.. Built to Rock.. But you wouldn’t want her to stage-dive…

Another Bella Delamere custom piece..
With a microphone behind her back. Steel spikes, Stage, amps and booze bottle.

My latest custom toy : “Bella Luna”
I always felt Bella DeLaMere had a bit of a 50’s/60’s vibe to her, maybe its the slightly “Beehive” hair-do.
So remodelled her into a 1950’s space girl.
Reworked her “hair” to fit the bubble helmet..
Resculpted the “feet” to hug the metal dome moon base.
Sculpted a whole new hand and raygun..
Added the backpack and airline, some details and an unusually clean paintjob for me..

Each year the awesome Blamo toy company has a custom show of its all wooden art toys. Each year to date I have been too busy to take part. This year they gave me a really early warning.. so I was able to finally do something for them. The results are Mr. Edward Woodhead.

Standing 11.5″ tall and made of Wood and brass with vintage clock gears. The base is a vintage gear from a mill weaving machine.
You can view Edward and all the other works at the TAG (Toy Art Gallery) in L.A. from the 14th of December.

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.
