The Blinky Allsop Teal hand-painted edition was created exclusively for Designer Con London.
An industrious and mischievous little fellow. Blinky is able to turn his hand (or rather his prehensile mustache) to just about anything. Though he has never really got to grips with Macramé.
Each figure in this super limited edition of only 10 is hand finished and painted by Doktor A. This polyurethane resin Mechtorian figure stands 2.5″. And comes with a cast metal winding key.
Each is signed, numbered and dated on the underside. And comes in a foam lined box.
This coming weekend (20th – 22nd August) sees The first Designer Con show in London take place. Excel in the Docklands will host this epic art toy event.
Seen above are the selection of customised toys and painted Resin editions I will have available from my booth, No. 94 (by the bar).
Drop by and say hello and add something new to your collection.
Right out of the gate with the first post lock-down event of it’s kind in London.
Designer Con the largest Art toy convention in the world, which has run in L.A for over a decade, is coming to London.
From August 20th to the 22nd at Excel in the London Docklands you will be able to experience the excitement of artists and toy makers gathered together in the real world.

And he has prepared for your collecting enjoyment a unique selection of customised toys and super limited mini editions. See further down this email for a sneak… He will also be bringing vinyl toys from around the world, original artwork, prints and other merchandise.
This year due to the ongoing pandemic Designer Con is going online in a state of the art Virtual event at PopShop Live.
I will be streaming direct from my studio in the UK and joining several hundred other Dcon vendors in this epic live convention event.
Download the Popshop Live App for your iOS device or use a desktop or mobile browser to set up a Popshop account so you can join the fun.
You will also need to buy a ticket for the weekend from Designercon Live. To allow you secure access to the whole event within the DCon virtual area.
I will be selling Mechtorian toys and original works as well as chatting and generally hanging out for the duration of the event. Though due to time zone differences I will be streaming through the night in the UK. So may not make it right through to the end of each day.
I will also have a new Mechtorian painting to unveil. Which will be available to purchase.
I am also planning on selling some of my personal toy and art collection.

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.

I am very pleased to announce the launch of my latest vinyl Art Collectible.
The classically styled bust of Anesthesia was inspired by the incredible marble work of Raffaele Monti (1818–1881).
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.
I am very proud of Anesthesia as she is the first vinyl production piece of mine that I have sculpted myself. 3D Retro have done an amazing job in retaining all the tiny details of the original. The precision of the mechanical garland around her head is reproduced spectacularly. And the gossamer nature of her veil is just as effective in vinyl as in the original.
During the weekend of Designer Con on the 11th and 12th November. At booth 527, Broke Piggy in collaboration with Scott Tolleson and Kidrobot are staging the Shard Show. Showcasing customised resin versions of Scott’s new 5″ Shard Dunny figure. The new, larger incarnation of his popular 3″ version.
