Reactor-88’s Totem Sharky
Here’s our first preview for ToyQube’s 4th Anniversary party (8.15.08) + Sharky show. Ryan Crippen’s (Reactor-88) Totem Sharky matches the lines of the Sharky with his totem inspired designs and a fresh color palette (orange, red, black) rather than the more traditional blue, red, white and black. The piece is nice and clean, especially the fin work. Ryan’s design showcases the figure’s shape rather than overpowering it.

Bwana Spoons – Giant Killer
Bwana Spoons' long-awaited fiberglass Giant Killer coming from Efp3 was shown in its final painted form at Grass Hut’s SDCC booth. This massive piece has turned out really nicely – with a purple paint job with either glitter or metallic flecks, shines nicely as you can see in the pics. Hope to have more details on this unique piece soon.
