雖然說這一仙custom作品，
讓我覺得他走路一定會跌倒，
畢竟比例上看來是如此，
但這種冷調機械質感，
仍是很有衝擊性，
我是很想看他的正面和背面，
有裸照更好。

OriginalFake * G1950 Skull Mat & Companion Mat
很清楚，
這些都是踏墊/地墊/鞋墊。
曾幾何時，
這類型的墊已經變成所謂潮流品牌的必出款，
尤其是和Gallery 1950的合作，
幾乎已經成了SOP的一部分這樣。
我之前有些想不透，
但我現在搞懂了，
不是輸人不輸陣的因素，
而是這種踏墊/地墊/鞋墊，
是種很有用的trademark，
他只要靜靜躺在那邊，
就會發揮最大的功效。
對於潮流品牌來說，
成本不高又帶有指標性作用，
當然給他天天月月年年都要來，
對你愛愛愛不完。

Humphrey Mooncalf by Pobber * Doktor A
昨天收到來自新加坡玩具生產商Pobber的來信，
提到他們和英國的設計師Doktor A，
即將有個合作產品--Humphrey Mooncalf，
今年底前會發行。
據Pobber說，
這個作品是個又大又笨拙的角色，
哈哈，
聽起來頗有喜感。

James Jarvis * Medicom Hello Kitty
James Jarvis * Medicom Hello Kitty，
是說我這陣子真的很詞窮，
腦汁大概都被榨光了吧。
把我貼在微博上的拿來抄一遍好了。
這kitty一看就真的是混了James jarvis的血，
就算沒有嘴巴，
但那馬鈴薯頭早就露了天機，
造型來自他早先的作品YOD，
11月27日發行。

Sneak Peek: Long Vo ,Pete Fowler "Art Assault" Charity Show Miami Art Basel 2010
Two new sneaky peeks!
Long Vo with his Capcom magic and Pete Fowler's. Both have given a bit of dimensionality to their guitars for "Art Assault" Charity Show Miami Art Basel 2010.
Joe Ledbetter Lava Pico and Wilshire
實圖看來比我想像的好很多，
立體感頗為強烈，
雖然鼻子的部分稍嫌弱了點，
劍齒虎整個感覺被邊緣化，
但長毛象的象牙，
表現出的立體態樣，
我個人覺得是Joe Ledbetter近期的代表作。

Gibson Guitar "Art Assault" Charity Show Miami Art Basel 2010
是說很久之前我就聽Nakanari說他和Gibson有個合作計畫，
NOW we saw it.
Congrats Tony!
Art and Music Collide as Gibson Guitar and Kramer Guitars Partner with Outta My Mind Creations and MaiHiro to Present ‘Art Assault’ During Art Basel Miami 2010
Customized Kramer Assault Guitars to be Painted by Amazing Artists with Auction Proceeds Benefitting the Gibson Foundation
From December 3rd - December 5th, 2010, Gibson and Kramer Guitar, in partnership with their friends at Outta My Mind Creations and MaiHiro, plan to unveil an exhibition set within the heart of Miami’s Design District that fuses pop culture in creatively unpredictable ways. Every year, contemporary art dealers, galleries, and art & music aficionados gather at the artistic oasis known as Art Basel Miami to behold the hottest in contemporary art. This year attendees will be captivated by “Art Assault”, a charity art exhibit featuring one-of-a-kind art guitars that will take place at the stylish Gibson Guitar Showroom located at 180 NE 39th St. Suite #200 in Miami. By merging music with visual art and designer embellishments, this exhibition promises to rock the ears, eyes and minds of everyone present.
Event times-
Thursday, December 2nd- Press Event/VIP Preview: 2-4 PM
Friday, December 3rd- 10 AM - 6 PM
Saturday, December 4th- 10 AM - 6 PM; Reception Party 7 PM - Midnight
Sunday, December 5th- 10 AM - 2 PM
The centerpiece of the event features Kramer Assault 211FR guitars as the canvas upon which 11 celebrated artists will embellish with their own artistic modifications. They have been encouraged to transform their instrument in any way they wish, the result of which will be a collection that is visually fresh. The line-up of artists includes art superstars such as Michael Lau, Nakanari, Pete Fowler, Christian Jacobs (Yo Gabba Gabba), 123Klan, Matt Waldman (Nooka), Camilla d’Errico, Ashley Wood, Long Vo, Lebo, and Oscar-winning actor/artist Jeff Bridges. This medley of artistic styles and influences brings together artists to celebrate the variety of musical and visual artistry that exists today.
Artist Camilla d'Errico shares a tease of her hand-painted Kramer Assault guitar which will be unveiled at the Miami Gibson Guitar Showroom on December 2nd.
Since the show will take much of its essence from the designer toy subculture, the show creators have also partnered with Kidrobot to create a custom 20” Dunny exhibit unlike any other. Each one of the five talented artists involved with designer toys (Jure Gavran, Dave “Outtamymind” Quiles, Tracy Tubera, kaNO, and Rotobox Vinyl Anatomica) will design a particular player of a fictional band, so that when they are brought together, a new "Dunny Superband" will be established on a stage! Kidrobot, along with the show creators and other designer toy sponsors will also showcase innovative toys and sculptures in an effort to share this contemporary subculture with the art-conscious visitors. This exhibition of vinyl toys will feature pieces and support from Kuso Vinyl, myplasticheart, SHON, Jure Gavran, Fury Animals, 123Klan, MaiHiro, and Dragatomi.
While engaging and enlightening, “Art Assault” intends to serve a more virtuous purpose. Once the event is completed, the Assault guitar artwork and custom toys will be auctioned off via an online auction with proceeds benefitting the Gibson Foundation. The Gibson Foundation strives to reinforce our society's future by focusing on projects that help children with education, music and arts, and overall well-being. Gibson, Kramer and the show partners feel it is important to give back to the community while providing entertainment and encouraging artistic creativity.
The reception party that will take place on the evening of December 4th (7 PM-midnight) will be the place to be during Art Basel Miami festivities, with a live band performance by Fancy Me Yet and other acts, including Miami DJ Mr. Pauer. Other sponsors who have contributed to allow the overall vision, excitement and charitable nature of the show include Juxtapoz Magazine, Capcom, Bento Café, Monster Energy, One Natural Experience (O.N.E.), Reign, bluemotion, Vinylpulse, One Day Masterpieces, Fábrika and Tito’s Handmade Vodka.

COARSETOYS JAWS 討論
早上好友D傳了這張圖問我，
說是eBay上有個賣家正在賣這個JAWS的"原型作品"，
(賣場在這裡)
他問我的看法如何，
說真話我一時也難以判斷，
畢竟沒實物沒真相，
我本來猜這可能是"廠貨"，
(廠貨=工廠正版外流品)
但一看到賣家說他至少有七個這種版本，
我就覺得廠貨的可能性大為降低，
(懂的捧油就知道我的意思)
所以我就展開和我好友，
東莞王子浩哥的一段討論，
我把他貼出來，
大家參考吧。
A:VINCE
B:浩哥
A說:
你怎麼看這個?
B說:
翻模
A說:
怎說?自己拿官方產品翻模?
B說:
你有實物在手嗎？可以對比一下看尺寸是不是一樣
A說:
沒,有人問我
B說:
鯊魚頭是M那家工廠做的，我也經常過去，哪有那麼多白件
A說:
嗯嗯
B說:
老見人賣這個白模
A說:
懂了! 哈哈,那這一個應該會比原件略小
B說:
略小或略大
A說:
略大?怎說?
B說:
還有關節接全位
A說:
不過,如果是自己翻模,他的鞋子怎會有上色?
B說:
以我看來，有幾個可能吧，一，是真的，這個不排除，但是可能性很低，不可能老賣不完，
二，全部翻模做的，那就是你說的，為什麼鞋會上顏色，其它地方不上呢，那不是更麻煩了嗎？
三，鞋子，會不會是採購品，那只要找到外發工廠，就可以買得到鞋子了
不過怎麼說都好，拿到實品，一對比就知道了
A說:
嗯嗯 說的好!
B說:
看圖片，我也看不出什麼問題，上次XX也跟我談過這個問題，不過我說便宜的話，買來玩玩，順便碰碰運氣，試試真假也不錯
A說:
不過要花錢買實品來研究,太傷本,因為他開價150美金,太貴了.如果80美金我就買來玩
B說:
嗯，大陸有人賣七八百RMB，老賣不完，是沒人買還是真的很多貨呢?搞不懂
A說:
由此看來,我覺得你說的翻模比較可能,因為若是廠貨之類,那coarsetoys應該會和生產工廠鬧翻吧,畢竟數量太多
B說:
對，發售的時候出來的白模，我覺得是真的，但是現在這麼久了，賣都賣了不少了吧，還有這麼多，看來是有人覺得這個市場有得做，就直接開模做翻白模
A說:
嗯,非常有可能
B說:
成本也低，不上顏色的話，仿真難度又低
A說:
嗯嗯,沒錯
B說:
翻模的話，那些線條是沒那麼銳的，整體感覺也很浮，有一種不太實在的感覺，所以拿到實品，基本就知真假了
A說:
嗯，這就真的要拿到實物了，對
B說:
嘴那個位置，是不是淺了很多？
A說:
好像有,
嗯,這是一個關鍵點,我感覺有些淺
B說:
這個白模沒有了原設計的那種硬線條的雕塑感，線條也不那麼銳，也淺了，就看圖，我是覺得翻模的可能性極高，但是鞋子，上了顏色，就有點怪了
A說:
嗯嗯,還是他鞋子就像你說的,可能找到管道,直接用買的,來組合
B說:
我是懷疑，做假的，就是代加工鞋子的廠家
A說:
有可能喔!嗯,這樣說起來到是很有可能
B說:
都開模了，何必多此一舉去找鞋
A說:
嗯,沒錯,這是關鍵

Angry Woebots California Panda King and “Choppers” head
王胖達來了again。
是說這王胖達是第幾款了?
如果我沒記錯應該是第三款吧。
我對王胖達的看法和包裝，
之前都提過了，
這隻California Panda King我好像也沒新的看法這樣，
限量25體，
手工上色，
那座旗座也是配件之一，
預計售價$250美金。
然後上面這顆頭雕，
概念貌似接近Luke Chueh的possessed heads，
限量50個，
售價$50美金。
這有沒有市場性有待觀察，
不過由$250美金和$50美金的落差，
我想是有些收藏者會買這顆頭的，
這就像你走進了Hermes專櫃，
一看到每個順眼的單品都要卯起來好幾十萬，
你就會覺得一個皮夾幾萬塊給他很便宜，
不過當然，
這是腦充血時候的判斷，
話說回來，
買設計師玩具有時也是某種腦充血行為(吧)。
The Infinite Hunt - NookaNooka by coarse
The noop proudly shows of his best side. A shiny presence in his latest swag, high in the sky with his hands covered and fully exposing all his amenities, visible to anyone hunting out in the wild. Appearing innocent on the outside, but calculating deep down. Waiting to be in demand and 'shot'. This hunter will become a trophy. A continuous cycle of seduction.
A single custom piece made for our friends at Nooka. The Infinite Hunt resin figure is currently being shown at "kapok" in our hometown in Asia, Hong Kong. Visit kapok at G/F. St Francis Yard (near Star Street) Wanchai.
各位覺得呢?

Joe Ledbetter LAVA pico and wilshire
是的，
就是這麼明顯，
我這篇文章只有一個功能，
墊檔。
不過，
是說我是連墊檔都會認真寫的人，
這兩隻長毛象和劍齒虎，
限量98組，
之前我就寫過相關文章，
所以大家就加減參考一下。
這兩隻傢伙看來很像是紙摺的ㄋㄟ，
尤其是長毛象蠻尼，
他的身軀根本就是cardboard的摺紙作品這樣。
然後大家應該知道今天楊淑君被判失格的新聞吧?
我是覺得有夠誇張，
雖然跆拳道比賽一向是全世界黑影最多的比賽類別，
尤其在韓國人主導的規則下，
台灣選手往往要踢得非常出色，
才能拿到獎牌，
但像是今天這樣，
都已經踢到9:0了，
才突然被判失格，
連敗部比賽都不能踢，
實在很莫名，
要是真的襪子不合格，
檢錄單位是在睡覺還是夢遊?
要是真的失格，
何必要踢到9:0才突然宣布?
很難不讓人覺得這其中有黑幕啦，
尤其後來是中國選手拿到冠軍。
如果今天咱們選手技不如人，
那我沒話說，
用一雙襪子打死一個金牌呼聲最高的選手，
這算哪門子運動精神?
後記:
某體委會官員說，
被判失格是參賽選手要負最大的責任，
有這種體委會，
台灣選手還需要敵人嗎?
幹體委會你最好踹共!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ESC Girls Represent Recap
先說，
我最近真的有忙到，
所以更新速度慢到一個不行，
如果您是天天來的捧油，
請給我一點時間，
(配樂:能不能給我一首歌的時間)
我會很快就復原，
呃，
是說比較不忙。
剛剛收到好友HaynMade傳來了這則短片，
只能說他和808orbit真的很有心，
話說我之前不是有提到wet-suit maria maguma的發行派對，
是個三方聯名的夏威夷當地設計師玩具盛事，
看來也真的辦得有聲有色這樣，
不僅有Erick Scarecrow過去的設計作品展示，
現場也有DJ喬落去來著，
應該每賣啦。
在此我也要恭喜我的好友HaynMade(aka Kinohi)和Skeet，
舉辦了這場聲色俱佳的活動，
這不僅是夏威夷當地一次重要的指標，
同時也將捐出部分收益給之前受傷的toysrevil部落客Andy，
給你們按一個讚!
之前有向我訂紅色wet-suit maria maguma的朋友，
最新進度是已經從夏威夷抵達台灣，
我很快就會展開寄送嘿。
"Girls Represent" Recap
Erick Scarecrow+Prototype+808orbit+Girl Fest
By HaynMade (Event Curator)
“Girls Represent,” held on Friday evening on November 5th, was surely an evening to remember. The event debuted Erick Scarecrow’s Soopa Maria Wet-Suit Maguma Hawaii Exclusive figure at Prototype’s Ala Moana Shopping Center store location. “Girls Represent” also kicked off Girl Fest, a week-long event that promotes positivity and empowerment in women through music, art and education. ESC diehards stood in line ahead of time to guarantee their hands landing on the Maguma figure and nearly 100 spectators stopped by to check out what was going on and/or got their Prototype shopping fix out of their system.
Hawaii’s very own talent also joined hands as Prototype held up their sales. Deejaybetty slammed one mean non-stop remix set which infused hip hop and urban tracks with trance and house beats, ridiculous. In Prototype’s entrance window, Remi Mead slapped up a live painting canvas session, which resulted in one sick piece of art. There were freebies to be given out; ESC prints to the first 8 Maguma figure buying fans and gummy froggies to the first 50 customers who entered Prototype. There were also raffle prizes to be won, which included Remi’s painting, Erick Scarecrow figures and apparel and blindbox figures.
Money from the raffle tickets were donated to a Hawaii worthy cause and a portion of Erick’s shirt sales were donated to Andy from Toysrevil. There was a healthy heaping of people who made the evening a memorable one, and they’re all thanked in the attached video done by one of the event’s curators, HaynMade.
