Art of Bruce Whistlecraft

The Mechtorian style Madl figure was unveiled at the Freak Mechanique show at Lift Detroit last month.
On sale from the Spookypop Shop are the AP (Artist’s Proofs) of that toy.
Each one is numbered and signed on the bottom.
There are only 30 APs available.

The Madl is a 5″ tall vinyl “Platform” figure designed by top toy designer and artist Jeremy MADl.
There have only been a handful of lucky artists other than MAD himself to have designed one of these classic toys.
Doktor A is honoured to be amongst them.
This is a limited edition release of only 300 pieces.

The Mechtorian mini figures (Series 1) are now available direct from my online store.

Signed if you want them.
All available individually or as a full set.

There is a review of series 1 of My Mechtroains toys on Toy Break (episode 70).

Go watch it. Its fun and exciting and really all that sort of stuff..

Indeed…

well go on then!

Ok I have just booked tickets for a flying visit to London.
Not been since 2005 if you can believe that..

I will be there just 24 hours for a release party for a new “Dunny” toy range I have a couple of designs in (Including a Rupture piece and a Greenman….pics coming real soon).

The do is in the “Wonder room” at Selfridges on Oxford street (Bond Street end if i recall correctly) on Thursday 22nd Jan from 5pm to about 8pm ish I believe…
Its open to the public and the area that is being set up for the show by Kidrobot (the New York company running the gig), will stay up for about a month..

So come on down and join in the shinanigans, meet lots of artists, look at the art and the toys, maybe buy something, maybe get some freebies.

There are whispers of an afterparty and I know Kidrobot do like to throw big flash events so who knows what they have planned… Not me for sure..

An exclusive version of Stephan LePodd will be available from the Vinyl Toy Network show in Pasadena on the 6th or 7th of December.
The “Gentlemen’s Club” edition is a brass and Burgundy red version of Stephan sporting a Fez rather than his top hat.

The edition size is only 100 with the majority of that amount available for purchase at the show.
The retail will be $79.99 each.
They will be available on both days of the show until they sell out. If any are left after the show they will be available online from 3D Retro  (  http://www.3dretro.com )

All the show details are on their website.   http://www.vinyltoynetwork.com

After a long wait the first of the Mechtorian toys will soon be available.
Stephan LePodd stands just over 8 inches tall and comes packaged in a beautiful collectors gift box with numbered card.
Produced by MINDstyle only 300 figures are being released of this original “Sunday Best” version.
Look out for them in stores this December.
The suggested retail price is $79.99 USD.

I have just received a large box containing the resin prototypes of my upcoming toy range with MINDstyle .
It’s rather surreal an experience looking at your own characters sitting looking back at you.

I am a tad freaked out right now.

Its exciting and a little intimidating at the same time.
I have designed toys before but its either been platform toys or toys based on someone elses ideas, or toys sculpted to someone elses designs.
This is the first time its all been from my head alone. I hope they go down well.
The company making them is putting a lot of trust and time and money into me and this range.
I really hope people like them..

I wish i could show you them but I am not allowed to right now for obvious reasons..
Soon you will see..
They really do break new ground in the market at which they are aimed..

Ooh Blimey!
