Next up in the GERM Squadt series from FERG is S002 [Born Wrong], which will be available through retailers in the next few days.
This 6-inch, leather-jacketed badass comes brandishing a sM4 w/ removable supressor and sniper scope, sMK23 with removable suppressor, 2.0 articulated and classic arms and removable helmet. Price tag on these is $95.
Also: production on these is complete so expect a quick turnaround time once orders are placed!
This Squadt’s ready to take to the sea! Hot on the heels of this week’s teasers comes a full monty of the Fr0g Squadt and his trusty aquatic sidekick Spot!
Limited to 200 pieces, Fr0g comes equipped with a wet suit, tanks, rubber flippers, spear gun, sMP5, tanto knife, 2.0 articulated and OG arms and a removable helmet. Spot includes wet suit with pouches (so freakin’ cute), rubber flippers and a removable helmet. FERG has brought his little dudes to a whole new plane … a superior piece of toy engineering, here, do NOT miss these! The duo will run you only $115 and that includes worldwide shipping. They release Monday, March 5th, at noon central via the Squadt store. More photos through the click!

Finally, something to show you! There’s been plenty of teasing for the past while in the restricted area of the CAD forum of FERG’s upcoming scuba squadt,‘Fr0g’. As you can see, this guy comes decked out in a wet suit and flippers, and brandishes a razor-sharp knife and harpoon gun. If memory serves, his flippers are removable, but don’t quote me on that.
Now obviously the missing puzzle piece here is the helmet, which is an all-new sculpt. Public pictures have yet to hit the web, but FERG did tweet this photo last week of (what looks like) the package design, which gives a pretty good idea of what this little bastard looks like. Insanely cool! More details to come — Fr0g is queued up as the next exit so we shouldn’t have long to wait.
A new tee is up for grabs in the Collect and Destroy Storehouse. Featuring black print on a heather gray American Apparel tee, they’re 100% pre-shrunk cotton. $30 gets you the shirt and shipping if you’re in the US. International folks, tag on $15. Get ’em here and show off your thunder!
FERG must be some sort of machine. Hot off the heels of his server-crippling TRIGGER exhibition with Brandt Peters last month, the release of NKD Nozzel, GERM S001 and now the FROZN WHOLE K11s from two weeks ago, the hustle continues. Just announced is the retailer version of NKD Nozzel and QPMNT PACs 5 & 6, all due out by late Jan/early Feb.
And these are seriously killer.
Dubbed [fr33dom club] and [Fort Burnout], QMPNT PACs 5 & 6 boast a whole whack of new gear including bags, hoodies, guns (duh), unique lenses and a sassy iron-on patch. Nozzel comes with the uber-cute butt-flap longjohns, tanto knife, lenses, 2.0 arms and removable helmet. Retailers have the choice of either bundling it all or selling the Squadt and PACs separately. QPMNT PAC snaps are posted below!
FERG & Brandt Peters‘ TRIGGER exhibition unveiled a plethora of new toy goodness for us to anticipate in the coming months. To kick things off, we’ll start with Brandt’s newest Trouble Boy: No. 7 ‘The Drifter’.
Brandishing two boom sticks and a tanto knife, the black-clad, eye-patched Drifter is inspired by Japan’s Yakuza with the body tatt to prove it (bring on the striptease!). With that said … it probably comes of little surprise that this badass will be unleashed through Tomenosuke-Syoten sometime this year.
Pricing and edition size will be released closer to date of exit. Stay sharp!

Micro Buds have been an active topic on the Collect and Destroy forums for the past six months and FERG hath finally gifted us with this progress shot of the little fella, due out very soon.
(And I mean little. Like 1.5″ little.)
The project is in collab with Skin Deep sculpt master Scott Wilkowski. FERG promises a ‘shitload of them in diff color schemes’ that will be handmade, hand painted, simple and sexy, as per usual FERG aesthetic. Yum.
Release the hounds!!
Looks like [FROZN] Gassed and Nozzel have some four-legged special forces joining them in the hunt! Dropping this Monday, Jan. 16th is the K11 [FROZN WHOLE] III Pac, available via the Squadt Store at noon CST. The set is comprised of ROVR, SPIKE and FIDO, equipped with jackets, modular harnesses and removable helmets, all for $85. The Pac is a run of 200. And in keeping with the spirit of the chase, FERG has also inserted 50 ‘Yello Sno’ variants, which, as the name suggests, includes vibrant yellow accessories. A most excellent dose of colour — more snaps below!

Well that was a hell of an entrance, wasn’t it? Following last year’s award-winning Trouble Boys collaboration, FERG and Brandt Peters reunite for TRIGGER, a two person exhibition at Stranger Factory, which mercilessly melted fans’ faces on both sides of the spectrum.
And CP’s servers suffered a similar fate: as soon as the taskbar clocks flipped to 12pm, the Circus Posterus and Stranger Factory websites were hit with such an unprecedented surge of traffic that it put them out of commission for nearly three hours (in which time the show nearly sells out). Pages weren’t loading, emails were bouncing back, fans were collectively panicking and eating their hair. A netplosion befitting of artists of this caliber, which was only amplified by their collaborative tact. Just look at the pictures.
Cool exhibitions aside, another reason I’m loving Stranger Factory is because it allows Kathie and Brandt an opportunity to use their exhibitions as a means to reveal/release new editions. KO’s Sweet & Sorrow saw the release of the Purple Greeter, and now a whole whack of new editions have debuted at TRIGGER: FERG’s Playge Doctor Skelve, the Overcast Kuma, 4-Legged Masao, and Fire-Eyes Mega Skelve (yes! An editioned Mega Skelve!), as well as the release of the Indigo Fade Skelve and reveal of Brandt’s next Trouble Boy: No. 7 Drifter for Tomenosuke. When an exhibition offers 2- and 3-dimensional works, individual and collaborative customs, limited editions, and sneak peeks from established artists at affordable prices, you cannot go wrong. But be prepared to fight crowds large enough to crack the websphere ;)
Enjoy the full gallery of photos here. More info on the new editions is forthcoming!
Now that we’ve all digested the hors d’oeuvres from earlier, let’s get on to the full course, shall we?! Presented by the CP film crew and made killer by Brandt Peters and FERG … ladies and gentleman! … this is TRIGGER!
