Carrying this over to the next page. That Paulo is insanely good! I love the contrast of the bright colors with the dark face and individually painted teeth. A run like that would be incredible. Right side Jeff is a beast too. These guys looks so damn good ganged up, Bwana!

I'm also really into these new suit dude sculpts -- I am imaging some really neat possibilities with the mushroom head being clear, and tinseled out, all that mess. It'd be fantastic.

Speaking of Paulo.. the more I look at this guy the more I'm in awe of him!

Hah, the more I look at him the more I'm in awe as well!
I never saw him so close up, damn... every little tooth, perfect.

Thanks guys. Doing WAVE ONE sales this friday for piles of old and new goodies, part one Japan too. We had hoped to see those suits for superset but didn't happen. Soon I am sure.

Paleo Don and Morel Black test shots showed up just before I left Japan for a trip to 'merica!

Bwana will have some of each at SDCC time (painted). I'll get a GID pre-order up on my site in June :). I'll also release my own first painted versions - in Tokyo in August.

Psyched on how these turned out - and also looking forward to suiting up some of the other dudes!

Those are looking very cool indeed, Jon. Now that is a formal I might actually like to attend. These characters are just great, did you have any backstory in mind for them, or just playing with your creative side? I love their accessories too. A pair of really cool dapper dudes.

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Really liking Morel Black.

Would love to see Tokyo and Hawaii colorways in black suits, and I can't wait for mixed parts.

I know the ties are wrong, but with this new bod you could totally do a "Reservoir Dogs" Broadarr set. Although maybe it would come out more "Rat Pack".

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Fri May 27, 2016 8:26 am

Beyond excited for Paleo Don and Morel Black! These two really came out great and I can't wait to see some painted versions.

I'm also curious about the backstory, particularly the significance of the suits. Are these guys secret agents? Gangsters? Salesmen? Professors? Guess we'll have to wait until a future issue of Big Boy Fun Zone.

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Fri May 27, 2016 3:26 pm

My recent obsession with mycology has made me super excited about Morel Black, hahaha! :lol:
But seriously, great job with both. They're both quite dapper!

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Fri May 27, 2016 9:16 pm

Super excited to get these in hand.
Morel Black will have a fullish backstory... Both him and Malba (the other shroomy guy I have been drawing), and way into sound. originally I had made field recording gear for Morel Black, but didn't like the way it was coming out.

Suits... suit is classic good times, but it fist came about from a sort-of nightmare dream I had about all these Brodarr dudes staring down at me in suits, from scaffolding. None of my regular guys, all new dudes, a mushroom hammerhead, a manta ray, a crab, and a beetle. Dream was in grainy black and white, like watching an old television show, or episode of Ultra Q.

Any chance of a pre-order mixed parts mystery deal for the corporate/suit/secret agent Brodarr series in the same style of Cyborg Stardust? If so put me down for a bunch!

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Sat May 28, 2016 10:55 pm

Dang Bwana, that must have been one creepy nightmare, but perhaps a preview of unborn Brodarr bros! Maybe you have to make them into reality or they'll keep haunting you. :P

Oh yes, and MALBAAAAAAHHHH

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Sun May 29, 2016 11:06 am

Sadly, and thankfully I haven't had that dream again.
Glenn... Rampage is handling the first pre-order for these guys.
I'll have a clump for Gunnzo shinanigans this July with Paul. And as of yet i have no idea what colors we have in the mix besides glow for the pre-order sales through rampage.

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Sun May 29, 2016 12:00 pm

How in the holy potato did I miss the shop drop of the MALBAAAAAAHHHH bag and bandana?!

Just nabbed both. They're beautiful. Malba bandana is going to be framed on my wall, like jockbros frame and hang jerseys in their mancave.

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Hey! That's a lot of positive responding. Yay!

So, Paleo Don is a continuation of my keen interest in making dinosaur sofubi, combined with (vaguely) the design from the Dino dudes in the OG TMNT comics. In terms of Dinos on a human-esque body, I think protoceratops/triceratopsians work best. Don is armed with a volcano fist weapon attachment - with 3 different skull faces - seemed appropriately primordial. Can't wait to put him on some of the other brodar bodies too!

The name: Paleo (ancient) and Don (Datadub). A shout out to an awesome friend and champion of sofubi for the past 10 plus years!

Pre-order for GID figures will be in June. The mold is at a different Seikeiya (I hate calling it a factory - it isn't a factory) from the other brodarians, so if we do mixy-matchy-ing for a release, it will take some coordination - so no plans yet.

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Mon Jun 06, 2016 8:57 am

Pre-orders for Paleo-Don and Morel Black are up now on Rampage!
This Friday trans neon pink Ugly and Terry King Bootlegger on gravytoys.com
Shaping up to be a fun summer!

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

These guys are looking really phenomenal in those outdoors shots guys, I am so excited for them. Thanks so much for all the work Jon & Bwana, I am sure the efforts involved in developing and executing their concept were many (especially with the moving underway!), but let me say that they were well worth it we appreciate it. I can only imagine how complicated getting these guys pulled will be, with all their small parts, but I have a feeling the end result will be amazing. Love the flesh blanks especially myself, but I know there are sure a lot of GID fans on here, so a pre-order for those will hopefully make a lot of folks happy. I can't wait to see what you guys come up with for painted examples of these radical dudes. :)

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Mon Jun 06, 2016 12:33 pm

I think the pre-orders go up on rampage on June 11

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

Wed Jun 08, 2016 6:12 am

Rampage say pre-orders are live know but I didn't personally check yet.

This Friday trans neon pink Terry King Bootlegger and Ugly with Parking Meter Basher.

Assembling glow pre-orders all week for Terry, Ugly, and Prenute. Assembly work is fun when you can get it. It doesn't pay though when you hire yourself.

And... Thanks again Ultra K, and the rest of the gang here for all the support. Sometimes we pull this stuff off through sheer willpower.

Re: Gravy Toys SB action news.

You can read the details on the release at the Rampage blog.

Here's the important part:
Well, with the announcement of the big upcoming move all out of the way, it's time to move on to some new stuff! There are a couple projects that have been LONG in the works that I am finally ready to offer up for sale, and both will be in the RAMPAGE webshop for pre-order (August shipment) this coming Saturday, 6/11, at 8PM EST (as I am on the East Coast of the USA ^_^).

and here's a pic!


a few more awesome pics on the Rampage blog, go check it out!
