Vertex teases Blazblue Chronophantasma Noel in color
Well, she may not be my favorite character from the Blazblue series, but I can admit to a sculpt I like when I see one. We teased the full sculpt for her a while back, but now you can see a few bits and pieces in color. There are definitely some "bits", so I might suggest not looking at the photos of her top half if you're at work just to save some questioning later. It seems a bit cold out.
Otherwise, I'd say this is one of the first things I've actually enjoyed of the character, so good on you, Vertex! While we're at it with the Blazblue: Chronophantasma styles, could we get a figure of Bullet? She's way more up my sexy alley. Just sayin'.

New Coarse Customs from JonPaul Kaiser
JonPaul Kaiser sends images of his recently completed pair of Coarse customs, which features a somewhat more subtle and 'quieter' aesthetic than his usual style, IMHO.
"They're an Oop & Aw set, which are quite unconventional in their shape so quite a challenge to turn into unique characters. They're called "The Roman & The Beast" and tell the story of an infant god gently sleeping after slaying a terrible beast." -says JonPaul.

"Cappuccino" vinyl toy by tokidoki x Peggy Guggenheim Collection
tokidoki collaborates with the Peggy Guggenheim Collection, and introduces a new limited edition vinyl toy named "Cappuccino" - inspired by one of the beloved puppies of iconic Peggy Guggenheim (Cappuccino is a Lhasa Apso puppy, the favourite breed of the American art collector Peggy Guggenheim).
PRESS: "Other than a toy, Cappuccino is the main character of a limited edition t-shirt set and an animation (trailer displayed below) picturing his the adventures in tokidoki land. The video will be unveiled during a presentation event at Guggenheim Venice on Thursday Sept. 12th."
Standing 32cm tall and limited to a numbered edition of 300pcs, Cappuccino possesses adjustable legs and tail, and "will be presented at a party held in the garden of the Venetian museum on September 12, and will be on sale in the museum shops, in the Tokidoki boutique in Los Angeles, online at tokidoki.it, and in a limited number of selected retailers world-wide."
Product Details for GARDEN(PALM)ER series from Michael Lau x How2work
Ever since it has been revealed, information for availability of the new GARDEN(PALM)ER series from Michael Lau x How2work has been exceedingly sparse, bringing temptations to a boil, while surely snuffing out others' earlier "flame of desires" (consider me the latter). Now thanks to OneSixthBruce from the United Kingdom, we have tangible(ish) info to digest and consider!
Each figure is 1/12 scale, standing about 18cm in height (approx 6 inches), and features 16 points of articulation - which is no longer a novelty, as 3A Toys have been producing their 'Action Portable' line - but the body sculpts for garden(palm)er veers towards those of articulated wooden-figurines used in art/craft, rather than a replication of their 1/6-predecessors - which I always maintained were more along the aesthetics of (Barbie) Ken-styled skinny bodies, IMHO. FYI: You can still see the silhouette in the tattoo character below, along with the "21st Century Toy" gripped / fist hand.
The first "Season" features 9 character + 1 bonus character per season (10 in a set), and there will be multiple seasons, resulting in a total of 117 + 13 bonus character Gardener Series. For folks who could afford the whole series, there really is nothing to talk about here (you have my envy), but for folks with a tighter budget? Let's just try to get pass 'Season 1' first, yeh?
OSB is retailing the set for an approximate £320.00 per set (TBC), with a tentative release date circa November 2013. Each figure will be packaged in a faux 'spraycan'. Do feel free to contact OSB at osbuk@live.co.uk or via www.onesixthbruce.co.uk for further enquiries.
It is up to the discretion of the retailer(s) to sell the item separate / individually, but the trick being there might only be a few characters folks are keen on collecting anyways, so expect outrageous pricing on online auctions instead.
I had been patiently holding out to see if they would be sold online via crazysmiles.com, but with the retailer-based direction we have been receiving info from so far, I doubt that would be happening anytime soon, unfortunately. But who knows, right? Unfortunately, I will not longer be holding my breath for that to happen now. If I were able to, I would collect these and forgo other figures, truth be told, but I could hardly swallow a set, much less 13 hahaha...
Good luck to you folks for trying to score your faves!
