Dragatomi @ Wondercon – Ozomahtli Ghost GID + Droplets 2
Wondercon (4.2 – 4.4), San Francisco’s answer to SDCC, is right around the corner and Dragatomi is ready with a glowing exclusive – Jesse Hernandez’s Ghost GID Ozomahtli by BIC Plastics. Limited to 100 pieces, this is the very first colorway of Jesse’s first original figure.
Dragatomi has more in store for collectors as well – the US debut of JamFactory’s new Droplet Series 2 from Crazy Label. Also, since everyone loves winning stuff, Dragatomi will be rocking an egg hunt with prizes for the winners. So if you’re Wonderconing this year, be sure to drop by Dragatomi @ booth #1221 (flier).

David Flores – 18 x 24 (3.11)

While he’s known for his paintings, he’s done his fair share of toys as well – including Dunnys, Be@rbricks, Medicom VCDs, and the recently released Thumper figure. The show will feature a series of water color paintings that measure… 18” x 24”, as well as custom toys and an exclusive print.

Close-up: Brandt Peters’ Carnies
Kidrobot will release Brandt Peters’ Carnies mini-figs today, Thursday March 4th 2010. To coincide with the drop, we’re brining you a close-up look at all thirteen figures from Brandt’s monotone retro ‘toon world.
Befitting the name the Carnies are a motley lot – they’re experienced, a little worse for wear, and in many cases mutated. What comes across really quickly with this series is the strong character development – the quirky personalities spring from the visual detail packed into these small figures. A bit about scale, these are smaller than your typical designer toy minis, however the payoff is in the intricate detail from the electric blue veins in Doc Tonic’s wings to the over-the-top three-piece action of Thinman & Buster. There’s something rewarding about opening a blind-box to find three pieces and then painlessly putting them together. T&B’s wagon + Pork-Chop’s are well-done featuring free spinning wheels and plastic rope tethers.
Before we close this out, you might be wondering about the two listed chase/mystery figures. One is the militaristic officer figure (complete with mini-pipe accessory) and the other is a white version of the three-headed Weird Bros.
The Carnies blind-boxes are available for $9.95 each from Kidrobot and select retailers. Hit the jump for plenty o’pics.
