Blue-Frog World Announces Project Bohna Skully + Contest & Custom Show Lineup for Toy Con 2015

Blue-Frog World announced their Project Bohna Skully platform figure. This figure was designed by Gary Boon of Blue-Frog.
"After a few months of hard work and organisation it’s time to fully unveil the ‘Bohna Skully’ from Blue-Frog World, this new platform is now about to make its make on the custom toy world. It’s the brain child of Gary Boon, at first it started as a sketch in the back of book, and we’ve seen the journey from there to 3Ds Max and eventually to the Resin Labs of Tru:Tek and is now produced as an initial run of 25 DIY resins, most of which are ready to be shipped off around the globe to artists from the UK, Europe and the USA, but there is more than just the announcement of the platform."



Blue-Frog World has teamed up with the guys who run Toy Con UK as well at the DTA Finalist Blog The Toy Chronicle to bring you guys a way of getting one of your hands on these before anyone else.... If this interest's you then read on!! 


Calling all toy designers, painters, illustrators, sculptors, metal workers, or just generally a creative people this is your chance to get your work displayed alongside some of the biggest names in the toy design industry at Toy Con UK in April next year, this competition is open world wide so literally anyone who can paint sculpt or draw can enter. 


If you are interested then download the template from http://thetoychronicle.com/contest-giveaways/project-bohna-skully-is-here/  you have until the 10th of October to email your designs to bohnaskully@blue-frog.co.uk at which point 3 designs will be chosen, one by Blue-Frog, one by The Toy Chronicle, and one by the boys over at Toy Con UK, then these 3 will be put to the public vote and the people will choose who gets their hands on a blank to customise for Toy Con 2015. 

Please bear in mind when designing your custom, you do have to make the final piece, so it’s no good drawing it if you can’t sculpt it and paint it after!! Other than that your imagination is the limit, there’s no theme or any guidelines on the competition, we just want to see some cool original designs which I’m more than sure our faithful audience will be able to come up with!! 


Here is the line up for the custom show that you could be a part of be part of at Toy Con 2015, and as you can see it's pretty immense......

A Little Stranger, Ardabus Rubber, Blue-Frog, Lunabee, Matt Jones, Mr Lister, Okkle, One Eyed Girl, PlanetDomu, Roar with Lukas, RunDMB, Toy Terror, Uncle Absinthe, UME, WuzOne


Keep an eye on the #BohnaSkully hashtag on twitter and Instagram to see updates of how all these amazing artists are getting on with their Bohna Skully’s! Also don't forget to all of these customs will be available on the Buhna & Beard Stand next April!!
