Well, it's July again and in San Diego that means Comic Con! (Also my birthday)

This year should be a big year for Aswembar and Plastic Booty, we'll be debuting our Thor figure at Comic Con, with two versions on sale.

Thor stands 7 inches tall and is a co-production between ourselves and PRETTY IN PLASTIC! He'll be available in the two paint schemes pictured and comes in a hand made box along with a special art print!! Each figure will be $175, and we'll also be taking names for those interested in future runs of Thor, both as a DIY and in special editions!

We'll also have several sketch books on sale from myself, Raymond and our friends, as well a completed and painted version of the Pai garage kit we released last year!! This kit will be one of a kind and come built, painted and mounted on a base. Like the Thor's she'll also be going for $175!

If you're going to be at Comic Con, please check us out at booth O8 in the small press area!

Custom Paint by Raymond Griego

The last batch of photos from just before Medusa-Patch was finished! Here you can see the assembled figure (sans hair snakes), and the primer stage. Also, our paint test object!! Ray's got the skillz, as usual and really came through for us. You can also see two of the painting passes here.

Furthermore, with the completion of Medusa-Patch and the show at Gunnzo, Plastic Booty now has time to set it's sights back on our original PANTHEON series of customizable toys!

And we're super excited to announce that Thor is just on the horizon and will be debuting at Comic Con San Diego 2009!! More news on him will be coming in June, including more detailed release info so please check back again soon!

MOAR PROGRESS

Hey guys,

Sorry for the lull in updates, but here's some more on the Medusa custom we're currently working on...

Medusa Patch Progression

So, here's a better look at how our current project is going. Next, we'll be casting the tail in resin and sculpting hair snakes from Super Sculpey! Then it's on to painting! Check back soon, as there'll be alot more coming up!

Plastic Booty has become PLASTIC BOOTY

Hey all!
After a little bit of off the radar work, Plastic Booty is ready to get back on the ball with a new logo and a look at our current custom project for GUNNZO: a Medusa-fied Camille Rose Garcia's Patch vinyl! Hope you guys dig it! Look forward to a step-by-step walk through on our creation process coming soon!

The little blue house that could

I just wanted to give a shout out to Gunnzo, a sweet little custom toy shop right here in San Diego.

Chika, the owner and curator is really excited about the art toy community, going so far as to run her shop out of a modest blue house right off the main strip of Old Town. The name of her store is inspired by her late grandfather, who would make her toys from bamboo when she was a little girl. A loving and awesome tribute i think.

What the location lacks in square footage, it more than makes it up in an awesome display of customs done for her and of course, a good selection of retail products worth checking out! In addition to that she is doing a UK Dunny trade show the 22 of January, 6:30PM-8:30PM, if you are in or near the SD area. Please go and show your support!

Chika has mentioned there is a good possibility of more shows in the future if things go well, and to my surprise and delight she offered up a Camille Garcia Rose "Patch" for PBC to work on. Its going to be flippin' sweet i tell you! Pics of progress are coming soon, i just need to get them off Anthony's computer which recently got a bit sick. :\
