2012 Holiday Gread Ornament.





The holidays are here and this years ornament is my first figure, the Gread. Cast in resin and foam, these are super light in weight. More so than last years ornament. They are painted with metallic colors and are layered with glitter. Don't worry though, there's at least three layers of clear on each one so the glitter shouldn't go anywhere.

These will be available in 4 colors, red and green as pictured above, and silver and gold. 

This years ornament is set to release this Friday, December 14th at 5pm est and will be available through Sunday, December 16th

They'll be $15 each. I will also make sets of all four colors available for $50 so anyone wanting a set will save $10.

Like last year, I'm shooting to have all orders delivered by Dec. 24th but it's possible they all won't make it on time. Just want to mention that before the sale.

Halloween Release - October 30th


For Halloween this year, I'll be releasing a whole bunch of stuff. I'm especially excited about this release because I've decided to bring back my original Teuth figure.

First up are two, one of a kind, bone filled Funguhs figures. One with bloody bones and one sitting in a pool of blood.

Next is a bone filled, orange tint Teuth which is also one of a kind.

On the opposite side, there's the 3 color resin, candy corn Teuth. While not one of a kind, these will be very limited with also.

Lastly, we have the orange Teuth and the Bone Gread. These are the most common of this release, While they won't be available for very long, there won't be a limit while they are up. Make sure to keep an eye on the store and the blog, there may be some other surprises thrown in also. Prices are below.

Bone Filled Funguhs - $20
Bone Filled Teuth - $25
Candy Corn Teuth - $25

Dead Hand Toys T-Shirts


I recently got in my first order of Dead Hand Toy t-shirts.They are printed with discharge inks on Next Level fitted tees. Designed by Brian VDP, I'm really happy with how they turned out. They're available now for $18 each in the STORE.

Dream in Plastic Non-Con Sale


This post is extremely past due, but better late than never. This year, Dream in Plastic, a toy store based in Beacon, NY, decided to do they're own Non-Con sale. The sale went live last weekend and includes custom toys and resin pieces from a bunch of artists.
For this sale, I made five one of a kind fluorescent Funguhs figures. Cast in pink, orange, green, blue, purple and cleared with Monster Kolor. All of these are super bright in direct sunlight. Priced at $20 each, bagged with a header card.
I'm not sure which are left so head over to Dream In Plastic and check out the sale and everything they have.

NYCC 2012

It's that time again. New York Comic Con is here already. This year, I'm lucky enough to have some of my stuff on sale at none other than Tenacious Toys booth, #3121.

For NYCC '12, I returned to my earliest figure, the Gread. I did two brand new colorways, 10 pieces of each figure. Both clear resin, painted with Monster Kolor. Next up, I painted up two, one of a kind 7" Teuth figures, again both painted with Monster Kolor. These pictures really don't do any these figures justice. Especially the black Teuth. It looks solid black until you get it under a good light source, then the pearls in it really pop. Anyway, last up, I will have bunch of Gread keychains with me all weekend, green GID and a lot of random colors. You'll have to find me if you want one of those.
 

You also need to head over to Tenacious Toys blog and check out the MASSIVE amount of toys and art that will be at booth #3121.

Resin is King Series 2

Well, it's just about here. Resin Is King Series 2 releases on Thursday, October 4th at KRNY, 6pm - 8pm. Boxes will run $25 each. We'll also have full sets of 16 available in which you are guaranteed one piece from each artist. Like Series 1, there is a golden ticket floating around in one of the boxes. Find it, and you'll receive a special figure from Argonaut Resins!

Something else we'll have is 5 limited edition prints created by 5 RIK artists to be sold exclusively at the  release party. Each 8" x 10" print is limited to just 10 pieces and will cost $20 each.

Below are some of the figures from Series 2. I'm extremely happy with they way this series turned out and hope you all like it as much as I do.









 "Tenacious Toys in conjunction with Dead Hand Toys announces Resin is King Series 2: a blind-boxed resin mini figure series featuring the sculptural resin work of 16 artists! Each artist was asked to develop a new sub-3" resin sculpt and submit 10 pieces to the series using that sculpt. With 160 pieces in Series 2, this promises to be a much bigger release than Series 1.

We even worked with our good friend Lisa at Kidrobot: the KRNY store will host the Resin is King Series 2 release party on October 4th from 6-8pm! Many of the artists will be there in person to sign their pieces, and there will be exclusive and highly-limited prints by some of the artists available for purchase. Blind boxes and full, sealed 16-pieces cases/sets of the RIKS2 BBs will also be available, and we'll be hiding a Golden Ticket in one of those blind boxes that will get the lucky winner a sweet prize from Argonaut Resins! On October 5th, any leftover Resin is King Series 2 blind boxes will be put up for sale online at TenaciousToys.com."

SDCC 2012 Dragatomi Exclusive Funguhs and Gread Key Chains

I'll have six figures all together, each one different. Painted and cleared with Monster Kolor so the pictures really don't do the colors justice.

These will be $25 each and come bagged with a header card. Available starting preview night. San Diego Comic Con runs Wednesday, July 11th through Sunday, July 15th.


Also at the Dragatomi booth, I'll have 15 one of a kind painted Gread Key Chains. $5.00 each.

Resin Is King Series 1 Reveal

I'm happy to finally be able to talk about this. It's been in the works for a while now.




Resin is King is a blind-box resin series put together by Tenacious Toys and myself. For this series, we got a great list of artists together to be involved in this project. Here are the artists featured in series 1...

Each artist created a brand new figure for this series, and just like the majority of resin out there, each piece is cast and painted by hand. Because of this, no two pieces will be identical. Trying to keep everything somewhat uniform, all of the pieces are roughly 2.75" tall.

Blind boxes are priced at $25 each and include one random figure, a ratio card and a sticker. On top of all that, there is also one Golden Ticket floating around in one of these boxes. The prize is one of my new 7" Teuth figures in a one of a kind colorway. Whoever finds the Golden Ticket, just follow the directions on it, its that easy.

All the pieces look great and I'm really excited to see what everyone else thinks of the series.

Golden Ticket Teuth


Release date is Friday, May 18th, 2012 at 8pm EST at the following link:   http://www.tenacioustoys.com/Resin_is_King_s/179.htm

Hey everyone.

New this month are these Gread Key Chains. This is my first time doing anything like this and I am really happy with them. Now, for the most part, these will not be limited in any way. I'll occasionally have certain ones up for only a limited amount of time, like the two St. Patrick's Day colors that are currently in the store. They will only be available through March 17th, but like I said, most colors will always be around, so you don't have to worry about them selling out for good.

This first release consists of fluorescent, glitter fluorescent, blue GID and the special St. Patrick's Day versions. All the fluorescent will be open runs so they won't be going anywhere. There is only a handful of the GIDs available right now but if they do end up selling out I will re stock them as soon as possible. As I stated earlier, the St. Patrick's colors will only be available until March 17th.

All key chains are $5.00 each + $2.00 flat shipping in the US and are available now in the Dead Hand Toys Store.

Be sure to check back often because I will be adding a lot more colors very soon.

Thanks,

Brian

Just wanted to let everyone know that I've decided to start up a mailing list. I figured I'd try it out and see how it goes. Sign up to stay up to date on everything that goes on here and to find out about new toys and projects. I'm looking to get out at least newsletters a month. Maybe I'll even do some cool stuff just for mailing list people.

"Slime" Greads - Release Tomorrow! Over 80 combinations.


As some of you may have already seen, I've been working on some new Gread figures. This time around, each figure will be sitting in a little pool of "slime". No paint, just resin. Pretty straight forward.

The sale, however, won't be like anything I've done before. For this particular release, the figures will be made to order. You will get to choose from at least a couple colors for the Gread, and several colors for the "slime". I have not decided on final colors yet so you will have to just come by on release day to find out what your options are. I could go with just a few colors for each, or I could get out of hand and give you way more choices than you really need.

**UPDATE - Color choices have been made and you will have over 80 color combinations to choose from. I hope that is enough for everyone.**

On to sale info and pricing, pre orders begin on Tuesday, Jan. 31st at noon EST. Price will be $20 each + flat $3 shipping in the US. Bagged with a header card as always.

*NOTE - Photos are of test figures only. As these will be made to order, I can't very well show finished products yet.*
