On Saturday evening, fans of angry root vegetables and customized sofubi made a pilgrimage to Toy Art Gallery for the opening of Scott Tolleson’s Deadbeet Custom Group Show. The exhibition showcases custom interpretations of Scott’s extremely popular sofubi figure, with production editions selling out in minutes.  Featuring customs by a large group of artists including Leecifer, Jeremiah Ketner, Paul Kaiju, Rsinart,  Nathan Hamill, Valleydweller, SquinkMonstrehero, Velocitron, and many more.   Approaches ranged from pure custom paint applications to mostly sublte use of sculptural elements to add to the original figure rather than completely transforming it.  Our pick ?  PJ Constable’s cartoony worm-infested beet. It’s a great piece made even more amazing when you find out the PJ is only sixteen 😉  If you missed the show, no worries – TAG  has made the available show customs in their online shop.
