Huck Gee x Fresh - Aswang Puto

This bloody she-vampire is Aswang Puto -- Huck Gee's next resin figure collab with Fresh Manila.  The figure concept is based around the Philippino Aswang vampiric myth.   Very nice shape -- sexy  with a hint of evil -- luscious paint job as well.

Scribe x Cardboard Spaceship - Rumpus SDCC Customs

Scribe has been hard at work creating special custom editions of his Rumpus resin figure for SDCC.  These will be available at the Cardboard Spaceship booth at the 'con.  Vinyl Pulse is going to bring you a preview of two new customs each Thursday until the week of SDCC.  So you'll get to see six of Scribe's customs prior to the show with the others as a surprise -- can't spoil all of it, now can we ?

This week we're looking at a tribute to the the King of Pop, the gloved one, Michael Jackson as well as a  green 'Skully' custom.  As always, Scribe has dropped serious skills on these customs -- check out the details on the rhino's skin, especially on the face. The faux sequin coverings on the MJ tribute piece (hands, plunger) are a very nice touch. Come back next Thursday when we reveal two more Rumpus customs from Scribe.

In the final stages of his life, Jaws Switch emerges from his decrepit barracks and into the unforgiving wild.

As a companion to the new Jaws Switch, Coarse is also releasing a Jaws Switch Keychain (2.5") on July 9th for HK$80 (~ $10).
