Amanda Louise Spayd’s sold-out solo exhibition, Origins of the Forest, opened last Friday at myplasticheart and Vin & Co. were awesome enough to post a recap with a TON of photos from opening night!
Head over to the MPH blog for the full scoop. Origins of the Forest is on display until Oct. 7th.
Previously on Calliope Jackalope, An Anatomy: Calliope is rendered in 3D and from that a prototype is made for the factory to map out the mold process. We head there now for some mold-makin’, waxin’ action!
Like Stingy Jack, the Calliope prototype was taken to Obitsu to determine how many metal molds the figure will require. Given her complexity, she, too, would require five to cover her multiple parts: head, body, legs, hat, ears and tail.
The figure is re-cast in wax and the metal molds are made. From that, we get our first test:
And from there, the header card art is submitted by Brandt and Kathie and voila! Our first packaged Calliope!

We all know these books or what we used to know them as. You know, the children’s books in the doctor’s office we used to read when Highlights was missing. Yeah those small books with retro covers that were made 20 years before we were born. Well Bob Staake has revamped these vintage works with modern twists called Bad Little Children’s Books These covers depict all kinds of odd, humorous, and satirical scenarios that make us chuckle.
The body parts one is my favorite.

Oh hot damn. In early August we posted a quickie teaser of what FERG had in the works for Sucklord’s Super Suck Up! and the Squadt mastermind just revealed the finished product: Zorcho the Burner. A mash-up of FERG’s flame BUD and a Sucklord bootleg, Zorcho is cast in what looks like honey-colored plastic with a custom cape and insane prosthetic pincer arm.
Available at the DKE booth during DesignerCon Nov. 3rd, Zorcho is an edition of just 50 figures and will retail for $100 a pop. Freaking swoon.

The Circus has landed in Paris and set up’s in full swing in preparation for the opening of Le Carnaval des Spectres this evening at Artoyz Shop + Galerie. My friends, it’s the moment we’ve all been waiting for!
Many of you are probably wondering how the preview will work and the short answer is “just like Monsters & Misfits”. Those who attend the opening will get first dibs and then all remaining pieces will be available for purchase online HERE around 10-11pm Paris time TONIGHT (4-5pm Eastern, 1-2pm Pacific, today) .
Some advice from Yann-Claude at Artoyz:
“Please note that all orders from non-EU countries won’t pay the French VAT (19,6%).
The final price will be adjusted (as well as the shipping costs) once you mentioned your Delivery Address during your order. That’s why we suggest to create an account and log-in before you shop.”
Good luck, gang!
Debuting tomorrow evening as part of Le Carnaval des Spectres are two exciting new vinyl figures from Kathie Olivas and Brandt Peters in partnership with Artoyz Paris! For the first time ever, Kathie’s Batboy makes his debut in 3D form following years of collector demand. Measuring roughly 6 inches and flanked by two bird companions, this masked mischief maker is finally ready for his grand entrance.
Following closely behind is familiar face Mortimer, from Brandt Peters. Popularized by his Carnies blind box series two years ago, Mortimer the Mortician returns at twice the size, wielding an unforgiving straight razor and potent bottle o’ Toxico. Watch your back…
Le Carnaval des Spectres opens tomorrow through Oct. 20th at Artoyz Shop + Galerie in Paris, France. The exhibition marks CP’s first group exhibition on European soil and features a collection of new two- and three-dimensional works from Kathie Olivas, Brandt Peters, Travis Louie, Chris Ryniak, Amanda Louise Spayd and Teodoru Badiu.
