Ok.  I know that this is really late, but everyone has been insanely busy.  The Angry Koala Gear crew had the special honor of co-sponsoring and judging the Shock and Awesome Custom Art Toy Contest at Stan Lee’s Comikaze Expo, which was put on by our friends at 3coconutmonkey.com.  I had the distinct pleasure and privilege of creating the trophy for the contest, along with the help of our friend, Manny Torres, of 2ndwnd, who made the base.  Below, you will find pictures of the 1^st, 2^nd, and 3^rd place winning pieces, an interview with the 2^nd place winner, Shea Brittain (FrankenFactory) and her piece, “Fragile Love."  

1st Place ("Chaneque-Yo!," Beto Lupine), 2nd Place ("Fragile Love", Shea Brittain),
and 3rd Place ("Ancestor Effigy", Cosmo Wenman)
