Thanks to everyone who made it out to “A Clear Blazing Fire”. It was a fun night. It feels like forever since I emerged from my studio and interacted with the outside world. Thanks to Kristin and Steve for putting together a great show. Everything worked well together. You can still see it in the Magic Pony gallery until the 14th of April

It was great catching up with everyone, especially my toy crew! Greatbeard! Blackgard! Washy Kong! Thanks for the support.

See the rest of the shots from the event on Magic Pony’s Facebook page.

Waiting for the graduates! #OCADU2018

The Canadian resin toy crew ( #toyronto ) is having a show in Philly @mothershipartgallery ! It's an impressive group of artists including most of the line up from last years Action Statue and several new additions. It's curated by @labmonkeynumber9 and @trashbury Have a great show dudes and dudettes! @greatbeard_sculptures @modulicious @miawcomic @rawzzzy @liege_toys @squiggly_mcpickins @darth_salesman @blughost_productions @toxicfumestoys @naomiknaff @theangrybeast @ericclementart

Check out Zombie Lab on Kickstarter. It's in it's last 12 hours. It's a 1:18 scale (4") action figure line of Survivors vs. Zombies. The sculpts are all by Boss Fight Studios and are compatible with their HACKS line of figures. http://kck.st/2wZicj5 (I will put this link in my profile as well) The project is spearheaded by Andy Wu, Boss Fight's chinese factory liason and distrubutor. He also has experience working for Mattel and Hasbro. The project is in good hands. The campaign is fully funded but has a few more stretch goals to hit. The "All In" option is an incredible value at this point. I can't wait to get my horde and pit them against my Joes. It will also be nice to finally have some civilians in this scale. Pictures courtesy of @toyark (I hope it's cool that I used them. They are by far the best images of these figures)

My birthday present from @tarakrebsart back in April. The Boglins pin I was coveting from @cavitycolors comes in a tiny reproduction of the original toy box. The (incredibly comfortable) undies and socks from @sockittomeinc came in a delightfully personalized package complete with a sketch and a retro Mr. T card!

Tony is having a little misunderstanding with my new Synthetic Humanoid by @1000toys.

I got this for @tarakrebsart for her birthday a couple years ago. She kept recognizing the Princess of Power characters that I was getting through MOTUC, and we tracked it down to one of these old Colorforms Vinyl Play Sets. I found one still sealed from 1985. It is in perfect condition. #colorforms #princessofpower #shera #mastersoftheuniverse #pop #motu #vintagetoys

The MOTU library is growing! At this point it seems like Dark Horse has covered almost everything. I think one book based solely on documenting all the toys (in order of release) would finish off the set. #motu #motuc #mastersoftheuniverse
