In the Process

I'm going to be documenting my new figure creation and I welcome you to follow along!

Below are my first two progress shots where I am creating the head. I have no concepts as to where this is going, I am approaching this new sculpt in a fluid way so that it can naturally reveal itself to me.

I hope you guys enjoy the adventure of creating this new monster!

Throgaa Vinyl Figure Preorder

To get this guy in vinyl I need your help.

This pre-order will fund the production of my very first solo vinyl figure! Throgaa has been in development for almost 2 years and has gone through quite the transformation since his initial inception.

The concept originated from a mash up of various toy pieces and parts/Halloween decorations put together as a reference for my sculpt (much of this never made it into the original sculpture but the T-rex skull head survived!). I went through a few concepts and finally, with a suggestion from a friend, I landed on this one.

This figure represents many of the things i love about some of my favorite toys; the details are large and exaggerated, the textures are pronounced, he's chunky (feels great holding him) and has a fun odd shape.

I'm glad to finally be able to not only show Throgaa to the world but to get him out there into your hands.

The details for the pre-order are as follows:
- $125 plus shipping.
- Produced in Blue/Glow-in-the-Dark swirl marble vinyl.
- 8.5 inches from nose to tail, 4 inches tall.
- Each figure comes bagged with a header.

Exclusive to this release the first 15 orders will recieve an extra Throgaa GID blank!

Future Prospects

First of all I want to thank everyone again who has supported our kickstarter campaign, you are helping to make dreams a reality!

If this project is successfully funded not only will it enable us to produce our newest creation, Zombitron, in vinyl but it will also put us in a unique position full of opportunity. Plans are in place to extend this collaboration beyond Zombitron and evolve a partnership between myself and Kenth Toy Works. This has been an amazing project and we both hope to be able carry it forward and bring new and exciting creations to life!

Helping to fund this campaign ensures us not only the ability to produce this one figure but to create many more in the future with our continued collaboration. These toys are something that Kenth and I are extremely passionate about and working together, even across oceans, has brought this out even more in myself.

You are not just funding one toy, you are investing in an idea. You are putting faith in the two of us and our artistic vision for the future. We want to make new and interesting toys, while sticking to the traditions that have brought us here. We hope you can help make this happen for us!

From the bottom of my monster loving heart, Thank you.
-John
