Art of Bruce Whistlecraft

October 21st – March 4th 2018

I am honoured to be a part of an exciting new museum exhibition in Spain.

“A journey into the Universe of Art Toys” will be the twentieth temporary exhibition organized by the Tolosa Puppets International Center at the Topic Museum in the city of Tolosa,(province of Guipuzcoa), in Spain.

The exhibition features works from 50 artists of different trends and disciplines, from 15 countries. Coordinated and lead by the Topic Museum and organized and curated by the International Art Collective “Art Toy Gama” and Fran Picazo.

All exhibited pieces of art will be available to reserve and purchase through the Art Toy Gama Collective.

My piece is a new Mechtorian character who is set to be a winner. Members of my Patreon page have been following his step-by-step construction over the last few months.

He will be revealed to the world later in the month.

The APs (Artist’s percentage) of my new 5″ Talking Board Dunny (from Kidrobot) will be available from 6pm (UK) on the 31st August from my online store.

Each is signed and numbered out of 12 on the underside of the foot.
There are two versions available.
The red original edition. And the Green, Glow-In-The-Dark edition which was a Kidrobot online exclusive and is more rare.

Today sees the launch of my latest Dunny with Kidrobot.
And yesterday they revealed a little surprise. There are two versions. The regular red edition, available for all Kidrobot stockists worldwide, and the green Glow-In-the-Dark version which is an exclusive Kidrobot version only available direct from them.

I will have a small number of signed (AP) versions of each available from my online store in the near future. They will however be offered to my Patrons first. So if you want to get first crack at them I recommend you consider joining my First Dibs Club.

I am excited to announce that on the 25th of this month Kidrobot will release my 6th Dunny figure!

This time it is one of their new 5″ versions.
With an original head sculpt featuring a classic Talking Board design the figure also features a wind up key and a Planchette accessory.
It will be available from all Kidrobot vendors worldwide from the 25th.

I will have some APs available in the near future too.
Please note that these will be offered to my Patreon “First Dibs Club” members before heading to my public online store. You may consider joining the club yourself to reap the benefits.

Studley Billund the Lego compatible Mechtorian Mini figure is reborn in three factory painted versions with pad printed bodies.

Produced in collaboration with Crazy Bricks, each of the minifigures uses a combination of new injection molded ABS parts combined with re-purposed official Lego parts.

The new figures will be available from my online store on Friday 28th July.

There are three different versions available :

“Mourning” edition. A stylish black and silver design with purple hat and jacket.

The Brass edition. With summery light brown and grey attire.

The Steel edition. In a dapper black topper and coat. Sporting a cool bow tie!

Each comes bagged with a collector card.

Studley Billund had a dream.
A dream of total compatibility between all Mechtorians.
He dreamed of a world where people could help each other by lending a hand, a whole arm. a leg or whatever part was needed at the time. A world where people could come together to build something greater than themselves by combining their unique abilities and unique parts for the greater good.
But people told him he was just playing.
His ideas were the dreams of a child.
He listened to them…..
Now he makes the most popular toy system in the world.

The figures are also available direct from Crazy Bricks in the USA.
