Post IMS Garage Toys
Randomly stumbled across and picked up these guys on YJA, I thought they had a similar vibe to the Convex stuff and the Hiro Grim garage figures.
It seems like they're resin. Anyway I'm pretty excited to get them in hand, Always love it when you find something brand new you had no clue existed. Does anyone have more information?

Thanks, I know I'd probably never find them, but I'd like to know if there are any more out there.

Nice find Joe. I follow a lot of these kits but I've never seen this one. According to google it also says Ken Maki there (who is a DJ) perhaps its some toy associated with him? That's a total guess but I'll see if I can find some info on this for you.

Thanks, I'd be interested in seeing pictures you have of other kits that never found their way to Skullbrain. Always fun to look at.

Well I got these in and they didn't disappoint. Really impressed by the quality of the resin and joint system. Here's the website.

I can see plenty of resin mods for that if it takes off!
