Remember those wall-mount squashes that Scott Radke teased us with last week? Well they’ve doned their face paint and are now up for grabs via Scott’s website. A run of six unique pieces, each clay sculpt is about 9″ x 4″. Five are available. Email Scott at scott@scottradke.com if you want to add a little flair to your decor this Thanksgiving.

Yesterday, we told you about the budget friendly water colors Chris Ryniak is bringing to Designer Con, and today we have even more for you. Gracing the CP booths (#500) will be the sketches for his “Countdown to Halloween” posts on instagram. That is correct, the mummy, witches, ghouls, goblins, and devils will be coming to Designer Con for what I am told will be a very wallet friendly price. Get ready because these will go pretty fast since everyone loves Halloween.

Throwback time! Jason Liebig, took the effort to scan some old school Halloween candy displays from 1969 for Collectingcandy.com, and we can’t thank him enough. Seeing these old displays is really cool. It seems stores back in 1969 were making piles of candy as a display just like they do today, but the price sure is different. Maybe soon we can see creepy costumes!

We have talked about cardboard animal creations before and we all probably keep a supply of boxes sitting around to reship things out, but the work Daniel Agdad does with cardboard is simply astounding. He calls it “sketching with cardboard” but that is insane considering his sketching is 3 dimensional amazingness. His new show “Sets for a Film I’ll Never Make” at Off the Kerb Gallery opens Oct. 26, showcases scenes perfectly as the title describes. Intricate landscapes, machines, and building look like they would be on any movie set. It is baffling what some people pull off with what I have in my store room or recycle bin.

Following the insane success of Brandt Peters’s first sofubi Stingy Jack in August, the pumpkin-headed trickster is back for another spin with the Circus. Hot out of the molds from Obitsu, the second colorway just wrapped up and is slated to debut at DesignerCon 2012!
Inspired by Brandt’s “Toxic Marshmallow” resin custom from Monsters & Misfits II, this next colorway from Tomenosuke + Circus Posterus packs a heck of palette that’s guaranteed to stand-out from the rest of the collection. Just check out the fade on his noggin!
The Toxic Marshmallow colorway is an edition of 120 pieces. Roughly half of the run will be available at the CP booths (#500) during DCon and the rest will then be split between Tomenosuke -syoten and Stranger Factory. These will be sold shortly after the Con (date TBA). Price is $95 per figure. CP board members, stay tuned for a lottery announcement on the forums.
Hang on to your hats, my friends — things are about to get crazy!

Back in September, we had this post talking about a new Halloween themed piece from Instinctoy, and now it is time for a sick update. Releasing this Oct. 27, at 11am (Japan time) for 10,500 yen including tax ($132) is the amazing , Jack-O’-Lantern by Instinctoy limited to an edition of 100 bodies. This guy went a complete rebuild it seems, and it is even better. LED glowing pumpkin head and then a glow after the LED is off, and a bag perfect Halloween bag it comes in. There will be more colorways shortly, but this is a must buy in my book!
Keep checking their shop Saturday.

Chris Ryniak has been showing us some watercolors for over a month now, and we finally know what he has intended for them, Designer Con! These watercolors are full of color, will be crazy affordable for an original, they are plentiful, and they are the Ryniak Monsters we all know and love. Basically, it is a win win all around.
I will stop with the words and show you plenty images now (click more to see several others, but there will be even more at the con not pictured here)

You know Weekend Weird Web Finds is not a good a name as the term RANDOM GOODNESS because that holds some depth with the Circus Posterus world. So on to this week’s Random Goodness.
Above you see the fish called Fringehead that is found in the Pacific ocean off of North America. Totally looks like some kaiju dude to me.
I learned this awesome tidbit about the term “Mad as a Hatter”; from wiki ““Mad as a hatter” In 18th and 19th century England mercury was used in the production of felt, which was used in the manufacturing of hats common of the time. People who worked in these hat factories were exposed daily to trace amounts of the metal, which accumulated within their bodies over time, causing some workers to develop dementia caused by mercury poisoning. Thus the phrase “Mad as a Hatter” became popular as a way to refer to someone who was perceived as insane”
Plus the pic above is rad.
Now for the creepiest of the week. Have you ever thought what your skull looks like as a youngster with your baby teeth in it? This is a skull collector’s dream, I think. Here is a skull model showing what the jaw looks like with your adult teeth underneath your baby teeth. I must say this is pretty burly looking and pretty cool at the same time.
