Thank You!

Wow! Thank you to everyone that made last Sunday nights launch one to remember! This was a very special one for me personally. I have been working on developing a new cast of characters for the Spaced Out universe as well as ushering in some old friends to keep things fresh and exciting. As I speak, more Raptinok/Tritanok figures are being made and more all new figures are seeing their last stages of prototyping. I can't thank you all enough for allowing me to share my vision and continue doing what I truly love! You guys are the absolute best!

What also made this launch a super special one, was the collaborative efforts of my brother, Boris Savic of Rocket North. Boris has so many talents and he offered up his extremely tight "free" time to bring Spaced Out's first comic "Mystery Of The Dalendure" to life. A huge thanks goes out to Boris for absolutely nailing the ideas of Velgeris and its inhabitants. Boris you are a creative machine and we love the comic!

I would also like to thank the Bearded Overseer, Matt, for his influence on all of these figures I create. Matt and his toy line continues to inspire me in so many ways and I am seriously lucky to have him in my corner. He also sat down with some of my GITD figures during a very busy month to snap some stellar glow shots for the launch. The Raptinok in particular is an original design that Matt and myself went back and forth on for months when I decided to make the toy. I was very inspired by so many things in 2015 that led me to this Mechanical Dino that I will later explore here on the blog. For now, a big thanks to the big man for everything he does for all of us!

Another tall thanks to the Bit Man, Marcus! June has been super busy for everyone especially this lad. He managed to pull the entire comic together for the launch and also do some insane rollover shots with Matt's glow photos. Marcus has always been the reason everything runs smoothly and is visually sound and I can't thank him enough. You are the best brojack!

As far as shipping goes, the lions share of orders will be seeing the postman this afternoon and people should be receiving shipping confirmations soon if they have not already.

Thank you once again to the great people who support this wild adventure of mine, you guys make each release increasingly fun!

Thank You!

     A massive thank you goes out to everyone who supported and participated in the Banimon Custom Corps. You guys are the best! Words can't express how lucky we truly are to have such incredible people support what we all love and create. To me, it still doesn't feel real. Ive spent the better part of the last four months on this project and it has been equal parts awesome and sad to see these guys go. This Custom Corps became integrated in my daily life and feels weird not coming home to a bunch of figures on my table!
  
     A huge thanks goes out Matt and Jesse for their continued support in everything I have done. These dudes have been a huge flow of positive energy and weighed in heavily throughout this project. Another huge thanks to Boris Savic and Seth Longmire for all their input and support. It was fun being able to collaborate with such talented artists!

    Banimon's 1st Custom Corps will be something I hope we all will remember for years to come, and we can't thank you guys enough for being apart of it!


     

BCC 1 Is Live!

              Banimon Custom Corps One is live!!! Jet over to the store and get yours!

First Instincts

     With Gobon just having his most proper debut yet, this custom was best fitted for our next teaser. Personally, Gobon is my favorite character in terms of Matt and Michelle's universe. He was introduced to me in a way I can't really explain in just a small blurb. So prepare for a wave!

     A number of years ago I met one of my favorite artists to date, Jesse Moore. At this time, I was heavy into toys of all sorts. The world of toys became something that I obsessed over constantly. It was a period of time where so many things were inspiring me. I was a sponge trying to absorb all I could, and was always hungry for more! Through my day job, I was able to stumble across the bearded mans path.

      A few hours had passed and we were in a vortex of discussions about toys and art. During this event, I knew my life was about to drastically change. We are both nerds that have a lot in common, and immediately bonded. He later educated me about Glyos and Callgrim. I was so ecstatic to meet someone who created something I loved so much, and live down the street from me! I HAD to see more. Most of you who know Jesse, know that he is a very generous person. He had invited me to his home and showed me some of the toys that inspired him, along with toys he had made. I was marveling over his insane collection of vintage toys and current toys. My senses were totally nuked at this point, until I saw this meatball of a figure!

     After almost going into shock over possibly one of the most overwhelming experiences, something caught my eye up in Jesse's toy lair. It was a roundish, Doctor Robotnik - looking toy that broke the tension I had been having in the plastic museum. For about a minute I felt tranquil and started inspecting the figure. Jesse then explained to me that the creator of this figure started the whole Glyos System Series of toys. When I picked up that Gobon, I had a feeling of joy that is unmatched to this day!

      So, Gobon holds a very special place in my soul. He is still my one of my favorite toys to mess with. I love painting and customizing him, and was super excited to incorporate him in the Banimon Custom Corps. (Maybe even more than once...) Jesse opened my eyes to an incredible toy line and an equally incredible community, for this I give many thanks!

 This particular version is piloted by a Banigoth. A very rustic version that is a death machine to all in his path! More details of the release and more photos soon!

    

Ghillie Up

     This is possibly one of my favorite figures to incorporate into the Banimon Custom Corps. While there is a wide array of different customs, I feel like this one in particular plays right into the Banimon aesthetic perfectly. I love this little guy! He is sporting a handmade ghillie suit along with a ghillie camo sniper with bi-pod!

     Excellent gun for hire, but his services do not come cheap! More soon.

Welcome To The Dark Side

     Rolling with the simultaneous teasers, I think everyone will enjoy this latest batch!


     This custom in particular needed to be done! Head on over to the Banimon Blog for another taste!

More Banimon Custom Corps

     Happy Friday everyone!

      We are continuing to tease this project that we have been working on the past few months. There is such a unique array of figures that will be debuting in the first Banimon Custom Corps. With each picture that surfaces, we are getting more and more excited to drop these guys! ( Although we dont want to see them go, hah! )

      More soon and for another teaser, check out the Banimon Blog!

Banimon Custom Corps

     Its been a few months now working on Banimon's first Custom Corps, and we are really excited to shed some light on this project!

     This project has many different components to it. Over the next few weeks, we will be sharing some of them with you as well as some behind the scenes stuff! Its been a true honor working on this project, can't wait to show more!

     The Custom Corps consists of Boris, Seth Longmire, and myself. Boris has provided the base PVC parts and will also be handling the printing and packaging of these suckers! Seth has provided us with some customs heads and body parts as well. I have been put in charge of molding and casting some of these enhancers for the CC as well as building and painting figures!

     Be sure to stay locked on the Rocket North Blog for more details.

   
    

Planet Banimon

Boris has been teasing us badly at Banimon the past few days. He is releasing a few new additions to his already existing glyos compatible Banigoth army ! Keep posted at the Banimon blog for more!

Banimon!! Go!

Over at the genius: Boris Savic's Site, he is showing off his upcoming launch of sweet shit! I have been talking to him and having some sit down sessions with him, and god, this assortment is stellar! Go watch the insane flash vid too while your there! Go Boris Go!

Boston Comic Con '11

The boston con was a great success and a very fun time this year. We weren't expecting to be selling stuff but Boris being such a great guy, shared his table. There was alot of great banimon comics/merch and of course toys! Boris had exclusively released an Order print at the con, so I was stoked getting the print along with some of his amazing comics. I had been taking a break from the sand blasting operations, to work on some "cleaner" work. Got a lot of positive feedback towards the customs! However over the next few weeks I will be at my shop working on some new projects that will be going up in the shop soon. Overall, we made some new friends and had a blast! Thanks again Boris and Jesse for being great friends.
