Limits have been lifted! Thank you for understanding! 

A big thank you goes out to the bearded bounty hunter: Jesse Moore! Once again he has masterfully crafted a fun and refreshing painting for us all to enjoy. I am forever grateful to be working alongside such a special talent and person. You're the best!

Speaking of Jesse, he has some really fun stuff cooked up for 2022. Be sure to keep an eye on him and his channels. You do not want to miss it!

Thank You!

 Thank you for supporting our ninth wave in production and making it one for the history books! This launch was geared towards the building lovers as well as the custom fans. I hope that you have been playing with these guys and it is hitting some of these aforementioned notes. 

This wave was the most we have produced in a single launch to date. With the selection offered and the increase of people getting into Glyos lately, we deemed it absolutely necessary to yet again bump the production numbers. As of this post, most of what was offered is still available now at the shop in very small numbers. Thank you guys so much again for your continued support amongst all of the other great creators and their respective fun toy lines!

A big Wampa sized thank you to my dear friend and local bounty hunter Jesse Moore for once again for providing us all with some fun artwork to appreciate. He is the best and working with him on this last project really got our conjoined juices flowing for some more fun content in the not too distant future, so be on the lookout for that!

Another big thank you to my wife Syd for lending her superior color identifying eyes to help put the final touches on these photos. For those of you that might not know, I am in fact colorblind/ color deficient. It is a huge challenge in the art world to navigate with my eyes but I always seem to find a way to get where I need to go. My big brother Matt is to also thank for the heinous amount of time I pour into these photos as I have watched him at a close distance go overtime when it comes to toy photography. 

Looking towards our tenth wave, I am trying to continue to push the boundaries of special pvc effects and hope what I have planned for the next launch will bring a smile to your faces. One of the figures from the wave is something I have wanted to do from day one and it wasn't possible... Until now...

Thanks again everyone for letting me continue to share this weird vision of our geometric friends together and here is to hoping we see a new challenger in the pvc line up in the near future!

Huge thanks to Jesse Moore for extending his immense talents over to our geometric realm! It's funny, even though Jesse and I have worked together for years, he never ceases to amaze me with what he creates. His signature style and discipline has such a welcoming place here for this launch. Thank you again brother and looking forward to more projects in the future!

THANK YOU !

Wow! I simply can't thank you guys enough for coming out the other night for the Mecha Treeborg release!

Seeing the Treeborgs evolve into a more mechanized form was truly something I wanted to make back when I was developing the characters in 2012. I imagined them a little more menacing and scaled up a bit from their resin predecessor. It has been incredibly fun painting and grubbing these figures up to showcase their true states. Thanks again for all your support, without it, I would not be where I am today!

Special thanks to my three brothers Marcus,Matt, and Jesse for all having their DNA in most of these endeavors. Marcus continues to be my rock when it comes to making the site what it is. Without him, the site would not run and look as good as it does. He really puts his best intentions into it and does not cut corners when it comes to making it the absolute best it can be. I can never thank you enough!

Big thanks to the bearded printing wizard for letting me play around in the shop to print some stickers for the packaging. Jesse has been the busiest I have ever seen him running his printing empire and making his dreams come true. Congrats on busting rump and still helping goofs in your spare time!

And last but certainly not least, Matt. He continues to have the best advice and still inspires me in ways I have never been inspired before. We are constantly on the phone discussing so many things but he always takes the time out and really gets critical when it comes to design and function of my toy line which is something I am always thankful for. Thanks again for all that you do big man!

The bulk of the orders have been packed and are ready to see the post this afternoon. Most of you should of got shipping notices yesterday.

Keep your eyes open for more Mecha Treeborg items in the future along with some new figures as well!

Mechanical Master

More stuff will be surfacing soon on Geo, but I wanted to share a few shop photos to show some of the processes that actually go into making a figure. When I cobbled my first Geodraxus together, I was so unbelievably happy that I had made a figure from top to bottom. I still remember the phone conversations with Matt and Jesse, I was practically in tears! This had become a moment I would not forget. I had been working on him non stop for months and really wanted something to bring to NYCC that year (2013). I did what I could to make him presentable, but I knew he needed a lot of work to get him where I wanted him to be. Flash forward to now.

Ron has taken Geodraxus from his past state, to a more mechanically sound one. I wanted a figure that could do more than the previous version, and Ron has been helping me do just that. We have been going back and forth on getting things "on point" and talking about the future of this figure. Its really awesome to watch him work out in the shop! The pictures display Ron getting parts all lined up and mechanically fit. He has a very accurate way of getting those "sweet spots". I couldn't have made it here without the help of my friends Ron and Matt. You guys are the best!

Most will notice a good deal of changes to Geodraxus. Elements of the sculpt have been pushed and pulled, and new line work and design changes have been implemented. This time, he will be debuting with a darker foe.

 I really can't wait to get the molding done and hold a new version of an old friend !

NYCC Wrap-Up

     NYCC was an incredible experience and I had a blast with old friends and new friends! Matt and Jesse were kind enough to give me ample time at their table and let me show off one of my latest projects, Geodraxus. Between the con and the food crawls, I did not want to come home!

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!


     

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!

    

Thank You!

Thank you to those who participated in last night's debut of the Spaced Out Design Shop! Last night's turnout exceeded my expectations, and your support is greatly appreciated! I just wanted you all to know you made the grand opening extra special for me, and forever have my thanks!

 A good amount of time has been invested into this project. After sculpting the Glyos compatible Treeborg parts, Matt inspired me on possibly doing another figure to go with these guys. We fooled around with the parts and he had some great ideas for a new figure. The Saplorite figure was planted in my head after that session.

If you look closely on the Saplorite figure, you will find a part of the sculpt is very reminiscent of Matt's style with a rooted twist. I took one of the handcast parts he had modified and built around it. Can you find it?
 
A very special thanks goes out to Matt for all his help, advice, guidance and input throughout this project. He has a strong impact on the things I have created and I am eternally grateful for everything he has done!

Another special thanks goes out to Marcus for putting the site together. He spent a lot of time and effort making this thing right. Also, he brought a lot of originality to the site and I couldn't be happier with the result! Thanks Bince!

And last but certainly not least, a special thanks to Jesse for providing his awesome artwork for this launch. He has been a huge support in all my creativity and I am lucky to work with him on special projects. You're the best bro!

Well, that was a mouthful! In terms of last night's sale, the shipping process will begin next week. So be on the lookout for notices then. Thanks again to everyone who checked out the latest oddities, and there is much more to come in 2013!

Cast, Paint, Repeat... Sleep??

Its been a super busy couple of months! I have been amping up some things for this launch that is (hopefully) emerging later this month! There has been a few add-ons along the way , that I hope will enhance this project. Its been super fun ( and painfully tiring ) getting all this made!

Also, there may be some killer art smatterings to go along with this launch by a very handsome bearded man! Can't wait!

So here are a few WIP shots and some casts that I have been working on the past few days. More stuff soon!

Can't You Smell That Smell?

Jesse is rolling out the latest strawberry scented Callgrim this coming Friday, November 2nd @ 9PM EDT . People who went to NYCC got a taste( or rather smell) of this guy! Prep your senses for Friday and hope that you don't catch a cold! Moore over at Beardzos

NYCC 2012

The con is almost among us! I have been working adamantly on a variety of hand cast things for this convention for almost a year it seems. Hah. Lets get started on the awesomeness!

First, I want to personally give a huge thanks to Jesse Moore of Rawshark! My bearded buddy did an incredible painting for the various characters I have created. I wanted to back these things with some killer artwork. We have been working on various project both independently and together for awhile and we take a very deep appreciation when it comes to art. Without getting into to much bro on bro love, I just want to say thanks for contributing a excellent piece of artwork to go along with these weirdos! You are the best!

Secondly, I want to thank Matt Doughty of Onell . This other bearded lunatic has been an important role in my creativity as well as Mr. Moore. Matt has been an incredible and influential friend to me. He has taken the time out to shoot some awesome pictures of this stuff for me and I couldn't be happier with the results. He has a way of capturing things(especially toys) that is unlike most. I need to get myself a digital camera and takes notes. Haha. Once again thanks to both of my friends for helping with some crucial swaz!

Alrighty, NYCC is tomorrow and Onell's booth is going to be jam packed with some super talented people! I am contributing some pretty cool handcast heads and attachments compatible with the glyos system, as well as some sweet customs. Here we have a handful of what will be available this weekend! I will be at the Onell Design Booth Thursday, Friday, and possibly at some other times. Come on down to Booth#3216 and check out what I have been working on! I cant wait to see everyone out there, Its going to be a blast!

Assembled Forces

Finally got around to painting up some of my hand cast resin heads! Ive been so busy with working the kinks out of my molding and casting, there was no time for fun! Luckily , I have great friends that help me out a ton! Without them, I would be more of a disaster. Hah!

 Here we see three of the heads that will be available soon! From left to right we have ; Ventros, Cy'reen, and Rel! As for right now, I am getting new materials to really start producing some of these heads and some customs to follow. Aiming my guns at NYCC for an official release. Still have a ton to do and not enough time to do it. Just want to take the time to say a huge thanks to : Jesse, Matt, and Marty( The God Beast ) for all being such a huge part in my creativity and my life. You guys are the best!
