Franken Molar

Been meaning to post about this guy. Who is this? This is Franken Molar by MM Toys. MM Toys is Mark Bentley aka Hiphoprobottattoo on instagram and his wife Maren Seibold who is an amazing sculptor that sculpted this and many other MM Toys which are coming soon. Currently, the toys coming out from MM Toys are in resin form but they are working to get their toys made in soft vinyl and will be doing some collaborations with Toy Art Gallery where a few prototypes of the resin versions were shown at Designer Con in 2014.

Franken Molar stands 3.5" tall. Made of resin. Has real screws on the sides of his neck. Franken Molar will be made into soft vinyl.

Last Post For 2013 - Happy New Year!!!

As 2013 comes to a close, we reflect back on one of our biggest accomplishments this year. Our goal this year was to turn our sketches into sculpts. JoJo is our mascot figure. Spittelz is a spitting mischievious monster. JoJo is currently getting his body re-sculpted.

We have to thank the talented Maren Seibold for taking on this project. She is one half of the duo Hip Hop Robot Tattoo or HHR. Mark Bentley the other half of HHR casted these in soft resin. The lighter shade of resin is the first prototypes ever pulled. The darker resin is the latest versions that we got at DCon from Mark & Maren. Maren is a super talented sculptor. Check out HipHopRobot on Instagram to get a look at some of the super detailed and insane sculpts that she is working on.

Some other highlights includes meeting Mark & Maren at DCon. Meeting MVH and so stoked that Paul Kaiju shook my hand and remembered who I was after all these years of trying to get his toys lol. These all took place at DCon.

We are looking forward to 2014 and hope that we can move on to the next phase with the end goal being Japanese vinyl. We hope you like these figures too! We will see how things go in the coming months with funding for this project and maybe do a Kickstarter or some fundraising by selling toys. If any of the big companies out there like our stuff, we're definitely open to getting these produced with you.

From Everyone at Collecting Toyz, We Want To Wish You All A Happy New Year! Thank you for your support!
