Gary Ham’s Last Five Custom Toys (@GaryGepetto)
“Preppy the Handball King”
“Monster Toytem”
“Be Bold. Be Brave. Be Suckadelic!”
“Some Play in Autumn”
“Autumn Deer” While much has been said online about most if not all customs above, what really catches my eye is the “Autumn Deer” for Supahcute’s “Art Too Cute for Words” group show running until June 24th, which has already sold. Gary is definitely one of the most impressive toy artists - given he frequently uses wood that he has cut and shaped himself, paints beautifully, and releases big pieces often.

Luke Chueh’s “JACK” Bronze Sculpture (@LukeChueh)
Supposedly created in a limited edition of 10 and selling for $1,200/each, one could purchase a JACK from Fully Visual. I added 15 to the cart to see if it’s limited to one per customer and if not, how many are left and found a very curious result - only TWELVE are left! See my screenshots above. I don’t know what’s going on, but I am assuming this is an innocent error. I don’t have an e-mail or twitter account for Fully Visual, so if anyone knows the people behind it - please ask and let me know. Regardless, this is a very cool item and shots of the production process are available on their blog. Images via.

Sweeney Todd Custom and Robot Mickey Original Sculpt by Mr. Den (@M1STERDEN)
Sweeney Todd Celsius
How insane is the Robot Mickey? Created as a commission, I’m sure more Disney fans will be hitting this customizer up for their own life-sized creation - can I suggest a Halloween Mickey? You can click the title above for the artist’s Flickr set to follow the creation process. The Sweeney Todd custom is from Tenacious Toys’ “The Candy-Coated Custom Show” in New York. You can purchase the custom Celsius by clicking the title above and Strongtree Images took some really good shots you can see here. Need more from Mr. Den?

Yosiell Lorenzo’s “Sicklings” Original Sculpts (@yosielllorenzo)
“The Hibernating Sicklings Series 2”
“The Tea-Sipping Sicklings Series 3”
“The Wounded Sicklings” Sometimes I completely suck. This artist has been releasing these absolutely amazing little guys that sell super fast and e-mailed me about most if not all of them. He even did something absolutely no one else has done - say hello to both me (Robert) AND Opportunity LOL co-owner/partner Jami. Sorry to both the artist and you, the reader for not posting these original sculpts until now. You can see Yosiell’s Sicklings paintings here and more shots of the above figures here. Also, if you hit up his store you might be able to purchase one of the remaining Sicklings. You can follow Yosiell Lorenzo on his Website | Store | Twitter | Flickr | Facebook
