A must have! Brian Morris reveals the hand-painted-proto of “Brother”, from his
upcoming The Family bust series coming from Squibbles Ink. The Family features 6 different 5″-er mini-busts (presumably of a family-structure) with Brian’s by-now signature detailed-artwork/style, with the busts sculpted by Joe Somers.

The Collection is inspired by “‘found’ thrift store ceramic busts”. “The Family”, is scheduled for a fall/winter release. Brian also will have a show “Practise Makes Perfect”-in October. Read an interview with Brian Morris on VinylPulse.

It is the 25th anniversary of G.I.JOE, and Destro has come out of the closet?

A happy 75th birthday to Lego, born on this day in 1932.

Plasticgod’s Axis of Evil War Criminals Edition builds on the political message of the regular edition by explicitly outfitting the Axis members with classic black and white striped prison uniforms. The War Criminals Edition is a Cardboard Spaceship Exclusive from Super Rad Toys. George W. Bush, Kim Jong-il, Osama Bin-Laden, Saddam Hussein and Tony Blair each have their own unique prisoner numbers and ship with a “decoder” on the box to reveal hidden messages. The War Criminals Edition keeps things up-to-date with the ‘Ghost of Saddam’ GID figure. As with the regular edition, each War Criminals Edition figure stands 5″ tall and has seven points of articulation. Axis of Evil War Criminals Edition will drop in mid-September for $120 and is available for pre-order exclusively from Cardboard Spaceship. Click through to the full-post for individual shots of each Axis of Evil member. For more info and photo’s check out Vinyl Pulse.
