This just has my name written all over it – coming soon from 3A and Bandai
Toys
The boys and I had a little spacecraft build-off the other day – each person has to make a ship out of the parts contained in one tray of Lego.
No cheating and dibbing into other boxes for parts and it’s first come first served on who gets what, you go until you’ve finished your ship or all the parts are used up.
The I Am Legion custom toy show featuring bastardised versions of 3A toys opened yesterday at the 1:AM gallery in San Francisco, It’s at 1000 Howard St. SF, ca 94103 and is open until Dec 4th. See some of the amazing customizations in the gallery below and my previous post. All photos grabbed from posters on the 3A forum, especially RmOS1.0. Love the Hellboy one 🙂
Regular blog readers will have noticed a love for Ashley Wood‘s 3A toy company and its works and his legion of fans are putting on a custom show in the 1:AM gallery in San Francisco in two weeks time. A blank severed Bot head was given to each participant, to customise as they wish but it seems a few have gone outside the brief too with amazing results. Over at the 3A forum there has been a slow reveal of some of the custom creations set to appear and the overall quality and ingenuity of some of the pieces is staggering. Wish I could see some of these in the, er… plastic. More to come once the show opens hopefully.
Available now: 11 separate figures for $85 each or one humongous 11 figure set for $650 – from 3A‘s Bambalandstore
Well, that’s the Xmas present sorted
Remember this painting? Here’s the first finished prototype, debuted at a Hong Kong Toy Fair a few weeks ago, check the amazing camera work in the video too.
Want! … so bad
Slipcase for a forthcoming zombie set from Ashley Wood’s 3A imprint, I’m pretty sure these are sold out long ago but a nice design twist.
I’ve been waiting all year to post this… The original Star Wars trilogy, in Lego, in two minutes, told in shorthand, by a child. Lots more Lego Star Wars films on the official site.

With every penny of the proceeds going towards relief in Japan, this exclusive Japanese Defence Emergency Armstrong figure is on sale now for a limited time only. Sorry, it seems no sooner had I posted this, 15 minutes after the sale started, than they had sold out, raising 30,000 USD for relief aid in Japan. Ashley Wood‘s new book ‘Fuck It’ #3 is also just up for sale at the link above though.
Recently spotted in NYC by my friend Sarah Coleman aka Inkymole.
Found this whilst looking at another link on the MOC (My Own Creation) pages by BlaBlurBlah.
Around this time of year some of us are thinking about getting new calendars to plan our way through the next 12 months. I’ve just sold several OLD calendars, very beautiful ones designed by Vaughn Oliver at V23. Below are some examples of various months I’ve picked out. The V23 calendars were always very obscure, you couldn’t write on them and you could hardly tell which day or month it was on some, but that wasn’t the point.
I’ve scanned in the leaflets you get with the Sesame Street turntable I recently sold. Some lovely graphics there, especially the Concept 2000 logo and the batch of LPs on the offer envelope. Click the images for (much) larger versions.
Look what Santa had in his sack for me this year. The Popbot 3-Pack (Popbot, Badbot and The Ascended plus a Kitty each in different colourways). Popbot is an on-going comic by Ashley Wood and his company 3A make toys from this world and others…
Long sold out from pre-order night and waiting in customs for a month while Parcel Force got their act together, they arrived on Dec 23rd so I decided to save them a couple more days before the big opening.
Spotted these last week in Selfridges’ windows whilst up in town but forgot the photos were on my phone. Pete Fowler did a series down the left side of the store and I’m no big fan of Sylvanian Families but that display with the caravans is great.
