How the hell are you getting these through production and your vinyl in hand so damn fast !!

Yeah, I know... I also just recently got a batch of unicorns that had been delayed since October of last year! And that mold was in existence already! I bet the factories are lulling right now so it was possible to rush this one a bit. No push fir shows till SUFESU on April 30th.

Anyway - yeah - surprisingly quick!

Edit - also, stock colors

I need to drop some emails tonight !!

wow awesome stuff! actually looks like a bad guy from the game castle crashers!

You beat me to the punch!

No matter - here are some non-instagram pics. First 2 HP's - headed to Seattle for Emerald City Comic Con. More in April when I'm back home from Tokyo.

Love those paints Jon.

so there are only 2 hps and thats it going to emerald city con??

I really wasn't feeling these in unpainted. Kind of felt too much like urban vinyl but the paint has changed my mind. Very cool looking little guys once you get some sprays on it.

Jon dose a great job on everything he paints......
Def was not feeling the unpainted stuff but these guys are great...

I like the paint too. A lot. I'm liking this figure in general. That flame thing on top... is it movable?

Thanks for the comments people.

Hmmm, urban vinyl... Justin's stuff has always been a bit bubbly and poppy - ever since I've known him to do art, but urban vinyl... Well, I guess it's a matter of perspective. The Manotaur certainly isn't Ollie!

Anyway, I'm glad people are digging these customs. The first (larger) painted run will likely happen in May - once we have a couple masks made. Prior to that I'll be doing some more customs and a small run of HP's around SUFESU and design festa. These two painted guys are the only ones for ECCC though... Timing is tight... In any case, I'll be painting almost all of these, and I cant wait to get started in April!

And yes - the flame moves! This guy is really fun to play with!

Yeah I agree I wasn't really feeling it either as it felt very urban vinyl. The paint apps though look cool, good job.

Hey Guys.

I'm taking a batch of these to Superfestival on the 30th. They'll be sold as a set with an Ugly Unicorn - Neon pink, pearl and Ginger hair tying them together a bit (seeing as I'm one myself) - on Flesh vinyl. Here's a little tease.



And here's another handpaint - done on request.



I'm all out of vinyl for now... The last one was used to paint the sample for the masks Justin still has some blanks available on his site I think. Hoping for a regular painted release (on-line) in May, but things have suddenly come to a stand still at the factories... not sure what's up...

And... SF59 is next monday! First version of the Manotaur will be there:

How much are they selling for?

Seeing as this isn't a 'sales' thread - let's just say there are a couple sets available online now - shop link is in my signature.

Masks are being made folks! A couple small runs to get things going - working out the colors with Justin now! Shooting for the first half of June.

Got masks in hand just in time to get the first real run of these guys painted for SDCC. They will be at the Dragatomi booth - #4935 - and there will be another 'secret' version as well!



After the con there will be a few available on Justin's website as well.

Jon, this Manotaur from NYCC is awesome! I'd love to see a run of this version!

Thanks man!

Well - that 'skeletor' version was liited to just 2 - both of which sold at the con. The other painted version and the last blank will show up in the Tenacious Toys' webshop eventually.

Thanks to everyone who came by to check things out and chat - good times

Jon it was a blast seeing you again and chatting it up. Your stuff looked great, your paints are always so vibrant and fun! I'm loving my cupcake resins, and I love the stuff I got from you @ Design Festa way back when!
