Poison (Shin) Apt. - Viper Villa (RECAP)

(l-to-r) Skulltoys, Real x Head, Cord Viper, Atom A. Armwrestler

Today 4 fearless makers laid out the goods at Shinto Gangu. The event was devastating - the amount of vinyl goodness boggled the mind (and bashed the wallet). Skulltoys once again displayed his warm machine-like precision by creating a cadre of a hand-decorated Honesukes, as well as a few large electric fortune cats; Real x Head was in fine form with a bevy of old school chaos on clear vinyl; Cord Viper debuted the first mask painted version of Kamari paired with new versions of Zavelle and ZAT all in blood red vinyl; and Atom was on fire with hand-painted Chaos' of his own, and the piece-de-resistance - hand painted Adios Space Trains with a custom resin figure riding on top. This doesn't even cover everything that was available. You can get a good recap over at the Kaiju Korner blog and here is my Flickr set.

Poison (Shin) Apt. - Viper Villa

Standing amidst the smoking rubble of the Poison Apartments of Viper Villa, clothed only in newspaper and fruit wrappers are our four defiant Makers.
Room 101 - The Lone Wolf from Cord Viper - Big Brother Kyuni.
Room 102 - The Stylish Skeleton Man from Skulltoys - Takeuchi
Room 103 - The Full Tilt Cat from Shigaraki - Atom A. (Armwrestler)
Room 104 - The Mohican Dude of  Katsushika - Mori Katsura

This Sunday, December 26th, at noon a special event will be held at Shinto Gangu in Aoto. 

Gathering together these 4 artists of the Shinto Tribe - all will be offering exclusive and exciting releases.

Stay tuned for updates!

Superfestival 54

The Real x Head crew brought the heat to Superfestival 54. Mori got us an entire block of booths so you could go around and around and see all the new releases from the artists who part of the extended Shinto Gangu family. RxH had a blind bag lottery of OG Mutant Zone figures painted by Goto-san - the crush at the show opening reminded me of the Kaiju heydey of the mid-00’s - the bags sold out in minutes.

The Kaiju Korner has a great blog entry with a full run down of the event with tons of more pics.
