NEWS: Brain Evolution Gallery

Last Friday the Toy Art Gallery opened the much-anticipated Brain Evolution exhibition, featuring contributions from a variety of toy customisers and designers, all based on Emilio Garcia's Jumping Brain piece.

NEWS: Ruckus and Ruckus Tallboy

These very cool pieces are Ruckus and the Ruckus Tallboy by Cris Rose and as seen at SpankyStokes.com. 

Available exclusively at the grand opening of The Toy Art Gallery's new location, these 4.5 and 6'' tall resin toys are limited to just 5 editions each.

The standard Ruckus is a companion bot, the bigger brother of Rotund Mk2. Created with older teens and 20-somethings in mind, this bot is swift, smart and athletic, the ideal upgrade for that outgrown Rotund unit. Ruckus Tallboy is the industrialized version, sporting upgraded strength and dexterity, as well as some additional processing power. Tallboy is the ideal working partner for Rostrum, handling parts and keeping everything moving. While Ruckus plays frisbee with his owner, Tallboy sorts recycling. Honest work all around. 

See more of Ruckus and the Tallboy Ruckus at SpankyStokes.com and you can view Cris's other works - and even buy them - here. 

NEWS: Plaseebo's Brain Rider

Plaseebo AKA Bob Conge was kind enough to email us this preview of his piece, The Brain Rider, which will form part of the Toy Art Gallery's Brain Evolution exhibition.

NEWS: Plaseebo's BOSS CARRY-ON PARTYPHANT 1

This is Plaseebo's BOSS CARRY-ON PARTYPHANT 1, a piece being exhibited as part of the Sofubi Godfather's event at the Toy Art Gallery.

Bob describes it as ''a custom mash-up of Paul Kaiju's wonderful Boss Carrion clear vinyl figure stuffed full of kaiju junk and guts with a motion activated LED unit. The FLY in the ointment.''

The Sofubi Godfathers exhibit opens today and runs until the 29th of July.

NEWS: Chrome Dome CMYKamo Galaxxor

Galaxxor - Monster Hunter Robo to give him his full title - has appeared many times in this blog, but never in quite so colourful a manner. This is Chrome Dome CMYKamo Galaxxor, a one-off piece created by Ben Spencer (and cast by The GodBeast) as part of the TAG Resin Show. 

If you happen to be in LA in the next week or so then you can check-out Chrome Dome CMYK Galaxxor - along with Skekiltor and the SUCK-CARS - at the TAG's resin toy showcase, which runs from the 10th of June to the 1st of July.
