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!

Let's Make JoJo & Spittelz into Toys!

This was painted with acrylic on top of soft resin. The resin didn't come out perfect so we had to overcompensate it with tons of layers of paint.

We need your help in raising some funds to get our mascot JoJo and his pal Spittelz made into toys! First step is that we need funding to get these 2 sculpted using 3D technology. So why is there no body you ask? Well lots of delays and it's been pretty hard to get in touch with the sculptor on these lately. It's all a learning experience.

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!

Have You Seen These?

We're sure you've seen the face of the first picture for a while now. He's our mascot and his name is JoJo. The little guy on the right is Spittelz.

This has been a huge project that we've been working on. Our goal is to get a few tiny resin releases and then to have them both eventually made in sofubi.

We want to thank Mark & Maren of HHR for turning our sketches into awesomely sculpted figures.

For a bit more info on these 2 you can check out their own dedicated page here on our blog.
