Sorry for the lack of updates, there was nothing new to post. I have been busy tattooing and have not felt like pouring resin. This month I will get a chance to start working on some painted King Swines for Comic Con. Here is the first paint sample. Roto cast Smooth-on resin, House of Kolor paint , Virus clear coat , all pig.
Dude, this looks awesome, I don't want to be rude, because the resin looks great, but you should start a kickstarter "resin to vinyl" campaign. If only so more people can get him in their hands, and on their shelves. I love the stance, it has that great seated look that Gargamel figures have. (Boss Carrion, and Mockbat have it as well), Great color choices as well. and the eyes look super clean. How did HOK work on the resin?
Thanks again for the kind comments. I am not really interested in doing a Kickstarter program( money is not the issue) , or vinyl at this time, sorry. Just not interested in doing or being responsible for a "run". Just having fun making a few garage toys in my spare time when not tattooing. Stoked and lucky people like them, Sorry it's so sporadic. Going to make him available a little at a time like I did with the Larry figure ( ended up having 40-50 of them sold before the molds blew up.) Expect some news in the future, King Swine is going to be in a few upcoming shows and I will post details when I know more. House of Kolor paint is good on resin. It is an automotive paint, shoots great from a brush, has excellent metals and pearls. And one last thing, vinyl or resin, doesn't matter to me, shit collects dust just the same!!!
I'd love to own one of these guys! Would prefer vinyl, but resin would be fine too. So much character, and I love toys that sit
These are awesome Guf! I really like the red eye black one. are you planning on any more paint on the black ones or just the eyes?
Thanks! The black ones ( burnt bacon ) have silver spray ( thrashout? ) but I sprayed candy green and candy root beer on the one with yellow eyes. Also have 2 blanks( raw bacon) These will be in my backpack at SDCC, hit me up if you want to check one out.
$80 blank, $140 painted..... leftovers will be online this weekend. Now off to the convention, woo hoo!!!!
It was great to finally check these out in person. Really cool toy, amazing sculpt, really good articulation. Everything about it solid.
even though i couldn't afford to grab one these did look awesome and it was great to meet you at the con. squeeeeeeeeeel!
Copy... double In comparison to what gets released nowadays i can only encorage you get this KS pulled in fine JP vinyl!
Got to check one of these out first hand and hang w/ Mr & Mrs Guff. Good times and the fig is amazing in person!!!
Thanks guys! Had a great time at the con and enjoyed meeting everyone. And big thank you to the people that purchased King Swine, sold all but 1. This weekend I am painting 3-5 ( not sure yet ) pigs for an art show at Grass Hut called" It came from San Diego" The show starts the beginning of August. As soon as they are done I will post pics.
Great Meeting You Guf! Plus the King Swine is Killer! We should have got a shot of him and the Creep together.
