Yeah buying these was absolute bullshit. I put both types in my cart than during checkout it tells me "Sold out". Would have been nice if the site didn't give me the false allusion of a successful purchase.

Im not mad at the drop just how the checkout setup is laid out for the website lol.

Yeah, it's frustrating to load your cart the second something becomes available and find it sold out. It makes me wonder if access to their dedicated pages was available before they were up on the main page.

Sorry guys, I heard some people had some cart problems, in my mind though less frustrating then refreshing a big cartel shop for 15 minutes.

This was a giant run for me, totally dwarfed any release I've done before. I honestly did not know what to expect and was really surprised they sold out so quickly. Though it's very exciting to see the interest. I will adjust for the next time. So don't worry, plenty of crazy marbles to come.

Pretty excited for these green blank Twins. There'll also be a painted mini run done by Tan(creator of Mimi Monster), which I'm also looking forward to. Photo ripped from Joe's IG.

I thought I'd share this new figure I finished sculpting, the Shinjuku Demon. It's inspired by the Underground Ogre from Demon City Shinjuku. I always knew it as the Spider Demon, but a Japanese friend of mine told me in Japan it's the underground ogre. Anyway, I've always loved the anime that was being made in the late 80s and early 90s. He is going to be about 11cm.

I'm thinking about making more toys at this scale, that are inspired by some of my other favorite monsters and villains from that era of anime.

Very cool Joe. I actually really like the idea of going with a smaller scale, but I enjoy a lot of variety in my toys. Very nice work so far, I am liking the interesting balance of highly textured with smooth bits on the sculpting, and the two hands look like they came out really nice. I am definitely seeing the anime influence. Very cool work, Joe. Look forward to seeing the development on this fella.

Will the spider legs be jointed or is the bottom half more of a one piece?

Re: SPLURRT

Mon May 16, 2016 8:27 am

Joe, im really digging the look of this guy! Can't wait to see all the killer color combos this piece is going to come in! :D

Digging it joe! Very cool looking and unique. And of course the small size is perfect! Can't wIt to see the future of this guy

Super rad sculpt inspired by such a great anime movie. Very interesting that in Japan he's known as the Undeground Ogre, as I've always known and heard him referred to as the Spider Demon, as well. This is one of those sculpts that can be four inches tall, or 14 inches tall, and would be just as bad ass and creepy either way. Hope to see this in vinyl, then in hand soon!
