Tattootoro – custom NedZed by FAKIR

by Unsung Zero on Feb 20, 2011 • 1 Comment

Tattootoro is a custom NedZed made by FAKIR, based on the character Totoro from My Neighbor Totoro.  Tattootoro has company in the form of Chibi-Totoro who looks distressed, perhaps it’s all the tattoos Tattootoro has?

Oustanding work as usual from FAKIR, the paintwork is super tight on this and it goes to show that you don’t have to go all out with sculpting when creating a custom.

Stance – DIY vinyl sneaker

by Unsung Zero on Feb 17, 2011 • No Comments

What is Stance?

The Stance High is the first edition in a unique line of designer toys that connect the art and creativity of the customizable toy community with the passion and emotion of the sneaker culture.

Artist can re-create their favorite pair of Jordan’s that they wish they still had; or design a new colorway for that sneaker that you’ve always wanted to see. However, my ultimate vision is that artist will throw all the rules out the window and run with their very own vision of the perfect kicks.

Love the concept of this project, the packaging (although just a concept at this stage) alone is just plain awesome and certainly original.

There’s a huge amount of creativity in the custom sneaker scene and it’s gonna be awesome to see what will be made of the platform.. but only if you back it!  For $25 you can pre-order yours over @ kickstarter and help bring this product to life.

Hi I am Keith – 3″ custom Dunny by Tesselate

by Unsung Zero on Feb 11, 2011 • No Comments

Fresh on the heels of Tesselate‘s Derek and Roger customs is the third custom 3″ Dunny – Keith.

Keith is hand painted with acrylic and Posca Paint markers, and finished with multiple coats of clear lacquer. He will come securely packaged in a sturdy cardboard tube for maximum protection.

The Story of Keith:

Keith is really a big ball of crazy, always hanging out down the beach with his pals, he just can’t stop himself from jumping over sandcastles, eating four ice-creams in one go, or running into the sea until his fur is so sodden wet, he can barely make it back out.

Next time you are down the beach just remember to remind Keith about his sun cream, he needs factor 9000 for his ears. He is one crazy dude!!

You can check out s’more pics of Keith over at his Flickr set.  Keith will be available at the Tesselate shop this coming Monday 14th of February @ 6pm London, UK time.

He will be on the shop for £20, is limited to just 1, and will come with a few vinyl stickers chucked in to complete the package.

Plastic Culture x Thunderpanda – Perry the Sea Wanderer

by Unsung Zero on Feb 7, 2011 • No Comments

Last seen at STGCC 2010 and now revealed in these production shots via Plastic Culture. Perry, designed by Thunderpanda stands around 8″ tall on his (finger-like) tentacles, and will join KID as part of the Wanderers series.

Background story of Perry the Sea Wanderer:

Traveling is a part of Perry’s life. From China sea, Medittarean sea, Barring Sea to Arctic Ocean, Pacific Ocean, you name it. He has been there! He has friends from all over the world. His ear suggests that he might be related to a famous cartoon character. Until today, no one knows the real truth. It was rumored that the mother once met Mr. you-know-who in the island of Barbados.
