Farewell 2016!

For our last post of 2016, what's a better way to end it with our mascot JoJo which we finally made into a mini figure via 3D Printing. We've had a lot challenges and bumps to get our figure made. Original sculptor for our characters went M.I.A. We are still tweaking the figure and hopefully will get more made in resin and if things go well we will find a way to get this made in soft vinyl. We're hoping to get his little buddy Spittelz made as well.

JoJo is 2-inches tall. The texture of the figure is not smooth but feels a bit like fine sandpaper. We have a couple of Pink Versions for sale in our store HERE. If you are interested in a White Version or Painted version like the one in the picture above, send us an email. For the painted versions, we paint each one by hand.

We're hoping 2017 will be a breakout year for our characters and we hope you enjoy them as much as we do.

Thank you for your continued support! We want to wish you all a Happy New Year!

See you in 2017!
Keep on Collecting!

Artists on view include Sarah Elise Abramson, Samuel Araya, Tom Bagshaw, Ryan Brown, Nathan Cartwright, William Hand, F. Scott Hess, Karen Hsiao, Jed Leiknes, Elizabeth McGrath, Lee Shamel, Brian Smith, Stanislav, David Stoupakis, Jon Swihart, Christopher Ulrich (massive Last Supper painting is the largest ever in the gallery), David Van Gough, Jasmine Worth, Chet Zar, and Peter Zokosky.
