NEWS: New NUKED Colourways

oOMoSOo of PapaGrim Toys has just released the above image, showing some of the colourway options that will be available when his new line of NUKED minifigures is launched. Still no word on a release date but given how rapidly he's able to cast these figures, I'm hoping we'll hear something very soon.

We brought you the first test pull image yesterday of oOMoSOo's very cool minifigures. Now we've a couple of new shots of the cleaned-up first batch.

NEWS: oOMoSOo's Minifgures First Pull Test Shot

As regular readers of this site will probably know, Steve ''oOMoSOo'' Patt is currently working on a line of MUSCLE/Monster In My Pocket-style mini-figures. After many months of sharing his prototype and work-in-progress sculpt shots, he's just released the above, first image of the initial test pull from the molds.

Featuring a mini-scale Skekiltor, Clawgrug (a character originally slated to be the third entry in the FOEZ line from the now defunct Halfbad Toyz) and Oculis Viri, the figures are cast in semi-translucent green plastic. Even at this early stage they're looking awesome and I can't wait to see the finished, cleaned-up versions.

No word yet on pricing or a release date but we'll bring you more when we have it.

From Steve ''oOMoSOo'' Patt comes Clawgrugg, the latest addition to his upcoming line of Monster In My Pocket/MUSCLE-style minifigures.

REVIEW: Skekiltor, The Mace of Hades

Produced by Halfbad Toyz | Released 2011

Halfbad Toyz is a company we've a lot of time for at That Figures. Their work is always interesting, their pricing is competitive and it seems every day they announce a new, exciting project. But until recently, we'd never actually seen any of their work up-close. That changes today, with our Review of Skekiltor, The Mace of Hades.

NEWS: Win An Exclusive Piece of oOMoSOo Artwork with Halfbad Toyz

Steve ''oOMoSOo'' Patt has produced this awesome illustration of Halfbad Toyz' Skekiltor, The Mace of Hades and one lucky Facebook user stands the chance of winning it.

NEWS: Skekiltor Run Coming To An End

Halfbad Toyz has announced that the first figure from their FOEZ line, Skekiltor, is to be retired. As of the end of next week, the Halfbad crew will no longer be producing the toy and although the figure is still available at the store, supplies are limited. So if you want one, you'll need to act fast.

All is not over though for the Mace of Hades, as the guys are promising he'll be back in ''a different form someday.'' My guess is producing the articulated Podiagon has given the Halfbad guys a new insight into toy design and they're going to someday apply the lessons learned to a new, updated Skekiltor...

More when we get it.

NEWS: Skekiltor at Toy Art Gallery Resin Show

We told you yesterday about the Sucklord's SUCK-CARS and now Steve ''oOMoSOo'' Patt - of Papagrim Toys and Halfbad Toyz fame - has posted an update at the Papagrim Blog to say that he'll also be exhibiting his work - including the awesome-looking Skekiltor, Mace of Hades - at the upcoming Toy Art Gallery Resin Show, which runs from June 10th to July 1st.

You can learn more about the show and the Toy Art Gallery at their site.

NEWS: Win a Box of Toys from Halfbad!

The guys at Halfbad Toyz posted an update today containing some very cool news about their upcoming releases, plans and current their projects. Although you can check it out for yourself, the update confirms that Skekiltor is back in stock (following a minor casting issue that held-up production for a couple of days), that the Smash Tokyo Toys-collaboration Seismic Centurion is almost imminent and also includes a reminder that the exclusive violet glow-in-the-dark Podiagon pre-order ends soon.

They're also offering a box of toys (or should that be ''Toyz?'') to one random blog Follower if they can make it to 100. As of today the number stands at 59, so there's a little way to go but hopefully when word gets out not just of this giveaway but also about how cool the Halfbad Toyz projects are, we'll see that number rise as more people join Halfbad's Army.

We'll bring you more on the Seismic Centurion and Halfbad's other releases when we get it but in the meantime you can read the update for yourself.

NEWS: Skekiltor Shipping Delayed

It seems as if Halfbad Toyz' super-cool Skekiltor has run into a production problem. A short post over at the Halfbad Toyz blog (and a subsequent comment below) explains that the eye casting has been ''wonky'' due to the mold burning out and the Halfbad crew will be fixing this before shipping any additional figures. Thankfully the fixes should be made by later this evening and then casting will be back on-track.

And apologies to all at Halfbad Toyz for my earlier misreporting of the situation!

NEWS: New Halfbad Toyz Feet Head Image

Feet Head is the second toy in the FOEZ range from Halfbad Toyz, following on from their awesome-looking Skekiltor figure. Sculpted by Steve Patt and featuring - for the first time in the FOEZ line - articulation, Feet Head is shaping-up very nicely, as you can see here.

Meanwhile there's a whole host of new stuff available at the Halfbad Toyz web store. 

As well as including original works such as the superb-looking Skekiltor (in a variety of one-off colourways and paint-jobs), the ''Red Pig'' resin figure and these super-cute/super-cool (delete where applicable) Robits resin figures, there's also this excellent custom-painted TMNT Rocksteady figure. And best of all, prices start at an incredible $5.
