This weekend I launch a new 3″ Dunny Custom figure series.
I have created 10 custom Dunnys using all original toy parts with no castings.

This series is set to launch at Toycon UK with remaining units available online after the show

Tit for tat – Hat.
Get ahead! Get a hat! In this case literally.
In Mechtoria any object from a building to an item of clothing may in fact be a sentient person with their own opinions and desires.
So putting together a harmonious outfit may take on an entirely different meaning.

For ToyCon UK I have created a very limited hand painted edition of just 10 pieces of each of the three Tall Titfer characters.

Each figure comes with a real solid cast metal key.

There is the Black & Silver “Mourning” Topper, Burgundy Red Bowler and Teal Fez.

Each will be only £55.
Any remaining after the show will be offered online.

Toycon UK 2019 sees the launch of a new edition of the handmade resin Mechtorian figure Cymon Clops.

Any items remaining after the show will be made available on my online store.
