In order to trap Mama Sama forever in the dungeon, the Pearly Guardian threw a potion at Mama Sama. The effects of it would turn her into a permanent shadow that would be controlled by dungeon's candle lights. He accidentally missed but drops of the potion altered Mama Sama's appearance and weapon. The Pearly Guardian saw this and hauled tail

ESC Girls Represent Recap by 808 Orbit

2010-11-15T17:14:00.000-08:00

"Girls Represent" Recap
Erick Scarecrow+Prototype+808orbit+Girl Fest
By HaynMade (Event Curator)

“Girls Represent,” held on Friday evening onNovember 5th, was surely an evening to remember. The event debuted Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Maria Wet-Suit Maguma Hawaii Exclusive figure at Prototype’s Ala Moana Shopping Center store location. “Girls Represent” also kicked off Girl Fest, a week-long event that promotes positivity and empowerment in women through music, art and education. ESC diehards stood in line ahead of time to guarantee their hands landing on the Maguma figure and nearly 100 spectators stopped by to check out what was going on and/or got their Prototype shopping fix out of their system.

Hawaii’s very own talent also joined hands as Prototype held up their sales. Deejaybetty slammed one mean non-stop remix set which infused hip hop and urban tracks with trance and house beats, ridiculous. In Prototype’s entrance window, Remi Mead slapped up a live painting canvas session, which resulted in one sick piece of art. There were freebies to be given out; ESC prints to the first 8 Maguma figure buying fans and gummy froggies to the first 50 customers who entered Prototype. There were also raffle prizes to be won, which included Remi’s painting, Erick Scarecrow figures and apparel and blindbox figures.

Money from the raffle tickets were donated to a Hawaii worthy cause and a portion of Erick’s shirt sales were donated to Andy from Toysrevil. There was a healthy heaping of people who made the evening a memorable one, and they’re all thanked in the attached video done by one of the event’s curators, HaynMade.

Skratch 9th Life Release-11/12-2010

2010-11-11T08:29:00.000-08:00

I showed this colorway off last month at NYCC. This is the 2nd colorway after the Purple Claws colorway that was released earlier this year and sold out. The 9th Life colorway is limited to 30pcs. worldwide. Figures will be available at the ESC Ebay shop on 11/12/10 at 11am. There's also a scavenger hunt for a Skratch Yarn Shroom that compliments the figure. Here are the details and good luck!

Story:
Late one evening around midnight, Skratch Purple Claws fell asleep listening to her favorite ESC podcast, The Revenge of Chelly Chainsaw. The sounds of Chelly's chainsaw bringing silly toys to their end brought comfort to her big ears. She fell into a deep sleep and entered a dream. Skratch was in a large room with hair brush and floating mirror. She began to brush her hair in her reflection. Sounds from the Chelly Chainsaw podcast were still heard in the background. She purred in her bliss.
Suddenly the mirror broke and from its shards her alter ego appeared called the "9th Life". Skratch was impressed by her alter egos' outfit colors very much to the point she even became jealous of her. Stuck with no way out of the dream, Skratch must now battle against the "9th Life" in a deadly game of....patty cake.

Skratch 9th Life drop

2010-11-09T11:56:00.000-08:00

Previously, an obnoxious wolf had lost one of his paws by the chop of a little girl's axe. His pride was hurt and he decided to trade some of his valuable fur for a weapon with a local blacksmith.

Time had passed and the snow blanketed the forest. The wolf practiced with his weapon everyday. One afternoon, the wolf spotted another little girl dressed in white trying to chop wood. Flashbacks of his last encounter with a little girl drove him into a rage.

As he leaped aiming to cut her in two, her twin dropped from above and beheaded him. A trap set up by the Snow Forest Twins to grow their collection of wolf heads.

Skratch Purple Claws release 08/27/10

2010-08-20T19:39:00.000-07:00

Here we go! Skratch Purple Claws will be available next Friday-08/20/2010 at 9am EST at the ESC bay shop. The 6" hand painted resin figures by moi will come signed, serial numbered and packed tight. Here's Skratch's story:

Recently Skratch grew tired of her job stacking boxes at a local toy shop. She was underpaid, cranky and hated the fact that she didn't get any freebies. Her big mouth boss made her job harder by telling her that if she worked a little bit harder, she would be awarded with the title "Employee of the Month". Skratch couldn't care less for the title. Every month that title went to a lazy Purpolo Papa Sama that was favored by the boss for some mysterious reason, but that's another story.

One day a large box fell on Skratch's head due to the Purpolo Papa Sama's neglect. She couldn't take it anymore and she decided to quit. Her boss asked "where are you going to find a better job in this economy? Besides you're a purple puss with no boots. Who would hire you?". That "purple puss" comment drove her over the edge as she popped her claws out and went after her boss. The chase came to a halt when they noticed an ice cream covered mouse opening an ice cream store across the street. It was lunch time.

Mama Sama Blazing!!!

2010-07-08T20:26:00.000-07:00

Story:

The Blazing Mama Sama is a high priced merc that accepts jobs by price and not by risk. Recently when her services are asked to help defeat the Pearly Guardian Papa Sama, she couldn't help but to laugh.

The Pearly Guardian is her brother that she hasn't seen in so long and they have unfinished business to settle. She arms herself with a spear called "Mama's Friend". A weapon made from a collection of fossilized bones from everyone she's defeated. Her skin is known to blaze at high temperatures under the sun. Because of this she resides in the hot regions and works during

the summer season.

Limited to 30pcs. worldwide and available starting SDCC preview night at DKE booth #4732

Ichigo Mama Panya

2010-06-21T09:22:00.001-07:00

Here we go! Ichigo Mama Panya will drop on 07/03/10 at the Tomenosuke Gifu shop in Japan and I will be there for a 2 hour signing. I'm epically thrilled because this is the first time that I will be in Japan and if you've been following my art, stories, etc you should know very well how much this will mean to me. Back to Ichigo Mama-these hand painted resins will be sold as a set. One 6" Ichigo Mama and one 1.75" Berry Shroom. Please contact Tomenosuke at info@tomenosuke.com for all international inquiries. Here is the story...

Ichigo Mama-Panya is a baker that makes colorful Shiitake Shroom cakes for a living.
One day she found a large strawberry on the sidewalk that fell from a tree in front of a
wizard's home. She picked it up and hurried back to her bakery to decorate her famous
Berry Shroom cake with it. The cake came alive and told her that what she did was
unclean and dirty. Ichigo slapped the ungrateful cake and was about to discard him
until he begged her not to. Ichigo thought long and hard about the Berry Shroom's
fate until she decided that she could use an extra hand in her bakery.
The Berry Shroom was relieved and got to work immediately. They bonded and shared many secrets. When the Berry Shroom knocked over a jar
of flour he sneezed repeatedly.
This made his colors change.
Ichigo was in shock when she realized her outfit colors changed as well.

Papa Sama was a rolling stone

2010-06-19T11:03:00.000-07:00

This short is by super collector Riffbear and features some of my Papa Samas getting down to some classic soul. I love seeing my characters move. Awesome job Riffbear!

Little Axe Dark Hood release

2010-05-24T15:24:00.000-07:00

My second release for this month is the new Little Axe Dark Hood. I wanted to do something close to some of the classic Grimm fairy tales but my version :) She's going to drop Friday 05/28/10 at 11am in the ESC Ebay shop. Here's the story:

Once upon a time, there was a badass little girl that lived in a city near a forest. She was in need of gloves because her little hands were cold. She entered the forest and encountered a loud mouth
wolf that boasted about how his claws could shred little girls like herself into pieces. The little girl wasn't threatened but intrigued by the wolf's paws. Especially since they would match her boots.They exchanged a few looks and moments later the little girl came out
of the forest with a new glove. The wolf managed to escape and decided it was best not to mess around with little girls.

Soopa Maria stop motion

2010-05-17T06:46:00.000-07:00

Papa Sama Pearly Guardian

2010-05-03T11:43:00.000-07:00

The Pearly Guardian drops Friday 05/07/10-11am-EST at the Ebay ESC shop. Here's my back story for this figure-

Before you confront the Boom Jack Papa Sama about flipping the Woodhermit's masks, you'll have to get pass the Pearly Guardian first. This Papa Sama is armed with a heavy mace and loves to blind his opponents by reflecting the sun's rays against his shiny armor skin. To defeat the Pearly Guardian you'll need the help of the Mama Sama.

If you're collecting your Papa Sama saga you won't want to miss this one.

New Papa Sama coming...

Tom Knuse Soopa Maria newspaper-1st edition

2010-04-09T08:55:00.001-07:00

When I first saw this my jaw dropped and everyone else here flipped. A Soopa Maria homage piece that's really sick. Pay very close attention to the details on this. Some parts of this are extremely graphic. Big shout out to my boy Tom Knuse who put this piece together. He is a very talented and down to earth person that has art and text running violently through his veins. I've had the pleasure to hang out with him several times. Once in SDCC and most recently in NYC. I'm sure you will hear a lot more about him in the future so get ready. Tom Knuse!!!

OSK news

2010-04-08T08:55:00.000-07:00

Well it's been a while since I had some OSK "Old Skool Kaiju" news. Here's what's been happening. The new super villain for the series is called Hatch; a mutant roach that multiplies himself by laying eggs from the back of his shell. Being a New Yorker I couldn't resist creating a character like this. He joins the ranks of Muraida and Super Villain Dizign that have been previously released. The figure was supposed to debut at a show in Japan but due to some issues it didn't get to appear. Hatch was featured in both April issues of Hyper Hobby and Quanto-Japan. Very cool. Big shout out to the editors for this.

Now the third image which is an illustration of Ultra Dizign squaring off with Hatch in a city is a secret crossover project that's in development here in ESC. This piece was done by manga artist Yajima in Osaka. I'm not going to release too much just yet but it's going to be a very SICK!!!

RECYCLE EXPERIENCE X SOOPA = MACHBITZ

2010-04-02T06:19:00.000-07:00

My contribution to the Bic Buddy custom jam. Guess what 80s hit animation show this little guy pays homage to? I always thought the original character was so odd and especially the fact he had a family. Nonetheless he fits this platform very well.

Today's arsenal

2010-02-25T06:42:00.001-08:00

Today I will use these. I had'em since the 90s.
