Obscure's "From the Mind of Madness" Custom Toys

Obscure prides himself in NOT having a niche.  He doesn't want to be confined to one specific aesthetic, so he tries to be as diverse as possible.  There are a couple of themes that have been recurring with his work lately, including Day of the Dead, due to its popularity.  The other is his very first series/collection, which he has titled, "From the Mind of Madness."  This series is a growing collection of original creatures, originating from the darker parts of Obscure's imagination.  Obscure has loved the horror and science fiction genres since his childhood.  He draws much of his inspiration from images from the horror and science fiction genres, including the Silent Hill to Resident Evil to Todd McFarlane toys.  This series features creations, which are meant to be releases of various aggressive emotions, frustrations, and stress.  Some people punch a punching bag, but Obscure makes monsters. 

Stay tuned in 2014 with what Obscure has planned to create and customize. Obscure also will be collaborating with a few amazing artists in their very own original pieces!

MissyMToyz: SDCC releases, signing schedule, and contribution for Beefy & Co's custom show, "The Ghost Within Us"

Two great things about attending and/or exhibiting at conventions is networking and making new friends.  One of our new friends, goes by the name of MissyMToyz.  MissyMToyz is one of the artists that was chosen to participate in Beefy & Co's second group exhibition, "The Ghost Within Us." The exhibition will be on display at Beefy & Co's booth (#5646) at the San Diego Comic Con.  This show features customs of Beefy & Co's own, Ghost Tribe Warrior vinyl figure.  Aside from contributing her custom, "The Soul Collector", MissyMToyz will have some other goodies for sale during her signings and throughout the Con.  The other items will include her limited custom series of "Archangels" (custom 3" munny), "Sock Monkeys" (custom 3" dunny), and her solid resin "Lil Buddhas." 

"The Soul Collector"  - $198

The Archangels are hand beaded 3" custom munny figures with angel wings.  They come in black, silver, and rose gold.  Only 4 of each color will be available at the Con, but MissyMToyz will be taking custom color orders.  They are $38 each, or 3 for $100.  Awesome price if you ask me!

The Sock Monkey is a 3" dunny, turned into a sock monkey, which has had an ear bitten off by a dog.  Sock Monkey was originally made for a dog charity event, Dunny for Dogs, which will be held at Kidrobot SF.  Due to the high demand, MissyMToyz has decided to make a run of 18 monkeys for this series, only 6 of which, will be available at SDCC.  Each piece is hand painted and crafted by Missy herself.  It has real button eyes, yarn hair, and stuffing from the ear, which was repurposed from a dog toy.  Get your Sock Monkey dunny for just $50! 

A little background on MissyMToyz...  MissyMToyz is new to the designer/art toy scene, but has already accomplished goals that some seasoned artists have yet to accomplish.  One of those goals was met when her Lil Buddha was picked up and sold at popular toy stores/galleries such as the Toy Art Gallery.  As a matter of fact, her Little Buddha was produced in sold resin, from her VERY FIRST custom!  You can't knock her hustle!  Lil Buddha will have a special reduced price for SDCC of just $138!  So be smart at get yours at the con!  To stay up-to-date with MissyMToyz and all of her future projects, follow her on her facebook page and on her instagram, @marisa777. 





"AWAY WITH YOUR gods!" Custom 4" Munny

I often get the inspiration for my customs randomly.  So, I often do not have a meaningful concept, but usually create based upon a particular theme or mood that I am in at the moment.  This custom 4" munny is an exception.  "AWAY WITH YOUR gods!"  takes on many issues of our world's overindulgence in material possessions and self-image.  Although I made allusions through my specific choices with imagery, I have left the interpretation of this piece up to the viewer.  With that said, I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed making it!

"The Antiquated Nomad"

I receive inspiration to create from all over.  My inspiration for my custom 4" kidrobot mini munny titled, "The Antiquated Nomad" came from the time I spent in Iraq during my first deployment.  There were a lot of nomadic people around where I was based out of.  They lived in tents or makeshift shacks, the kids ran around without shoes, they didn't have their own source for clean water, and they appreciated everything we would give them.  It made me realize how much we take for granted at home.  The Antiquated Nomad represents humility and necessity.  He doesn't take anything for granted.  He appreciates everything that he gets.  I hope his attitude on life in a world consumed by materialism inspires you to be thankful for what you have.  Enjoy.
