Fewmany Exclusive Tudo + Steel Faeries
Wonderwall has a pair of new exclusive releases which will drop from FEWMANY, their retail space in Tokyo. First up is the Black x Yellow Tudo from Touma (below). It’s limited to 100 pieces, drops on 12.12 and will retail for 3360 yen. Nice flame + char design with a nice yet abstract graphic on the back. Our favorite thing about Tudo is the mix of horns and noses from edition to edition.
In January, there’s a Fewmany Steel Faeries exclusive by Kaijin. This one has a a bit of a regal feel with the crown like design on the helmet + the blue/gold color scheme. It’s also limited to 100 pieces and will retail for 3780 yen.
Super7 – Slime Green Escaregot (11.22)
Super7 continues the Snakes of Infinity saga with this weekend’s release of the Slime Green Escaregot – one of Dr. Killgore’s Zombie Henchmen. Re-animated from a snail, this one has a lifeless blue-grey pearl vinyl body and a clear green Zombie head and gloves, with gold, maroon, white, black and yellow-green spray. It drops this Saturday, November 22nd @ 11 AM pacific from Super7.
This is one of our favorite Snakes of Infinity release to-date, the twisted oozing face designed by Josh Herbolsheimer plus the impressive paint scheme definitely give it a creepy yet stylish feel.

Wonderwall’s Monster Series for ‘09
Wonderwall will introduce a new Monster Series in 2009 to be produced entirely in Japan. The first two figures in the series are designed by the extremely talented Kaijin who has a growing list of design credits to his name (Super Jepel, Steiny, Steel Faeries to name a few. As you can see from these sculpt shots the two designs are fairly different – the rabbit-ish creature is sublime while the squattier one def. has more of a monster feel albeit with a kawaii vibe.
MAD @ Mechanized – Skin Deep (11.21)
Recently revealed on MAD’s Flickr were his 2D pieces he will have up for show/sale over at Mechanized for his Skin Deep show. These pieces suit the theme of the show very well, being “Skin Deep” his 11x14 pen and ink on bristol give the presence of the artwork you would find at a tattoo parlor. Also available will be his set of “Fugly Buggers”, cleverly drawn on shooting range target sheets. So be sure to stop by Mechanized this Friday to check out all the goodies and meet the man himself.

Seen: Tim Biskup x T9G Rangeas Drop in Japan
[Intheyellow released the new Tim Biskup version of Rangeas + T9G’s original sculpt in matching yellow yesterday in Japan. Keeping up with the pulse of toys in Japan, Luke Rook sent back this timely report with pics. ]
While most lameos were waiting in line for some Picasso dude the real art lovers were downstairs. The National Art center of Tokyo dropped the very first collaboration between Japanese artist T9G and beloved US artist Tim Biskup today. Three sweet gems were offered up; T9G Ranges, Bear Hunter and a very sweet Timafied Ranges. All in solid banana yellow. They managed to sell out in minutes with a good smattering of fanboys and flippers. Seeing as I was last in line and my ticket said 50 chances are pretty good that there will be a few floating around.
[More pics after the jump including closeups of both figures]
