Rotobox are bringing the Shodo magic with their newest custom. Using the Celsius platform, they’ve recreated one of the best bad guys in all of videogames: Akuma from Street Fighter. The one-off project has custom fabricated hair and accessories, and the sparkly paint used for his gi is fiercer than a Raging Demon. Stay tuned for our interview with Rotobox.
Albotip: Akuma is known as Gouki in Japan.

This insane dichotomy is the latest work from Carson Catlin. Get it? “Dichotomoy?” Cuz the word comes from “incision.” *Ahem*
Anyway, this is definitely one of Carson’s funkiest customs. The half-reticulated 7-incher is definitely eye-catching. It was given away recently, but Carson says he may do more half-reticulations in the future.

Holy custom vinyl, Batman! Rotobox’s newest work is based on the design from the Dark Knight trilogy. The armor is sleek, especially the bat ears, and that metallic dark grey paint job is ridiculously sexy. You can pick up one of the three editions of the toy right here.

Carson Catlin just finished up these three new commissions. The Calaverita was Carson’s first sofubi custom. The silver paint if actually from a Krink marker.

Our friend and designer toy artist extraordinaire RSIN sent us these pics of his custom Mario figure for the Game On art show being hosted by 1AM Gallery during this year’s Game Developers Conference. This custom 8” Mario piece features a sculpted base, gold accents, and Mario’s grill has been sculpted into a Mexican sugar skull with gold teeth.
Kind of makes me wish there was some sort of evil power-up item that made Mario look like this in the games.

Custom vinyl toy artist Albert Art turned one of Toy2R’s 8-inch Cat Qees into a stogey-smoking Mario rocking his raccoon suit. No actual raccoons or tanookis were harmed in the making of this custom.

Man, I wish these customs by Teddy Man were mass-produced things that I could buy, like, right this very second. He even used some Kidrobot Munny parts for these!

I’m pretty sure Carson Catlin was a plastic surgeon in a past life. Here are his two most recent commissions of vinyl omission. If you dig the Kidrobot Mascot figures, you might be in luck. Carson is thinking of bringing a haul of them to SDCC 2013.

Rotobox have just released two new killer customs. The first is a Celsius version of Spider-Man 2099 which has an awesome metallic blue paint job and fierce arm stabbies. The second is another Qee version of Voltron. At first glance it’s pretty similar to Rotobox’s previous take on Voltron, but check it out and you’ll see some great new details, especially the logo on his lion belly.

Rotobox continue their stunning customization work with this tribute to Combattler Godaikin toy. True to the original, this Qee version combines five pieces to form the full robot. It’s a one-off and has already been sold, but you can still drool at all the photos here.
Albotip: The “V” in “Combattler V” is pronounced like the letter (as opposed to “five”) and stands for “Victory.”
