Instead of using their own Ganmetall Celsius for this custom, Rotobox decided to use a Robotar figure instead. They even included a cute little Pandatron to pilot Panda Z!
Oh, and if you’re wondering why Rotobox customized a Robotar instead of their own Celsius figure, it’s because this piece is for the upcoming Robotars Earth Day 2010 Exhibit.
To give you guys a better idea of just how insane this thing is, here’s what a Robotar figure looks like before it gets in the hands of Rotobox.
Enjoy the gallery of this super sexy custom below.
Markie Darkie is a Canadian graphic designer/photographer/visual artist who has made some of the most mind-blowing custom vinyls you’ve ever seen. His use of sculpting, abstract imagery, and colors are sure to inspire veteran toy artists and n00bs alike.
Man, every franchise and their mother seems to be jumping on the “urban vinyl” bandwagon lately. I hate to say it, but the whole scene is on its deathbed in my eyes.
These kinda’ cool and way-cheaper-than-”real”-urban-vinyl Mega Man figures (only $9.99!) from Jazzwares, called JUVIs (Jazzwares Urban Vinyl) are somewhat of a mystery. There’s little to no info on them on the official Jazzwares site and it seems like the only retailer carrying them is Toys “R” Us, and only a select few stores. So far Mega Man and Proto Man are available, but Elecman and Ice Man may be on their way shortly.

Back in June 6th of 2006 (6/6/6/) Muttpop released the Narco Satanico version of their Tequila figure, featuring the amazing design talents of the one and only Frank Kozik.
It looked a little something like this:
The figure was released in a limited run of only 333 pieces exclusively through vinylpulse.com and I’ve always considered it sort of the Holy grail of designer toys. I’d never seen such a visually striking vinyl figure that captivated me the way the original Narco Satanico did three years ago.
Until now.
Ocran Ocinatas is Narco Satanico with a reversed color scheme. Even the name is reversed! But, to be fair, I think the true reversal of Narco Satanico would be Ocinatas Ocran, not Ocran Ocinatas, but it really doesn’t matter, I suppose. Not when a figure looks this sickeningly good.
Ocran Ocinatas doesn’t officially come out until January of 2010, but Muttpop will be offering limited quantities at their booth (#45) at this year’s DesignerCon on November 21st (this Saturday!) at the Pasadena Convention Center in California.
Muttpop will also finally be showing off their unseen contribution to the third series of BUDs minifigs from Jamungo!
If you plan on hitting up this year’s DesignerCon, I’d recommend bringing a fat-ass wallet because it looks like you’ll be needing it for all the money you’re sure to blow.
Imagine you find yourself somewhere in Middle Earth from J.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings books, only your tripping balls off shrooms and extacy. You’d probably experience something close to Order of the Arcane, a new series of custom designer toys by Josh (f+) Pierce.
Order of the Arcane is set in a world of fantasy and lost Majik. Think of it as Hellboy meets urban vinyl meets just plain trippy and awesome.
Pierce will unveil his collection at Red Hot Robot in Phoenix, AZ from 7pm – 10pm tonight, November 13th.
Wizard Sleeve Toys and SpankyStokes.com will be releasing the limited edition, purple-drippy-nighttime WST Celsius figure at this year’s DesignerCon on November 21st in Pasadena. Packaged with an arsenal of weaponry, this 7″ figure by Robotox and Kuso Vinyl is limited to just 48 pieces and you can only get it from the SpankyStokes.com booth #35 for $100.
These sick Boba Fett and Darth Vader heads were made using old vinyl records for the Straight From The Crate showing at Shoparooni which is going on until July 26th. Here’s a look at more of the pieces from the event.
