Doze Green’s “The Narcissist” Returns In A Striking Ivory Edition From UVD Toys!
Spotted for the first time at Collected Con Los Angeles, UVD Toys has officially unveiled a fresh new take on Doze Green’s iconic resin art multiple, The Narcissist. This new Ivory Edition strips the piece down into a beautifully weathered, bone-toned finish that really lets the sculpt breathe... and wow, does this thing have presence.
Okay... I have a soft spot for this one right out of the gate. Maybe it’s because my name is Spanky. Actually, not maybe... that is 100% part of it. But even without the name connection, Spanky “Bat-a-Swing” from Green Flamingo has all the makings of something rad. You’ve got a grumpy little bat, giant sound-blasting ears, 1930s cartoon vibes, electro swing music, rhythm-based platforming, and now a collectible figure tied into the Kickstarter campaign. That’s a whole lot of good stuff packed into one weird and wonderful package.
Hand-Painted GID Mister Melty Vinyl Figures From Buff Monster Are Melting Fast!
Buff Monster is back with some serious glowing goodness as a fresh run of hand-painted GID Mister Melty vinyl figures has landed at StayMelty.com... and as expected, they are already moving fast! This edition features just 10 one-of-a-kind pieces, each standing a big and bold 10" tall, packed with vibrant sprays, splatters, glitter, glossy clear coat, and that unmistakable Mister Melty charm. Built on the Glow-in-the-Dark Mister Melty vinyl figure, each piece was individually hand-painted by Buff Monster using layers of bright semi-transparent airbrush paint, allowing the colors to pop while still preserving that glow underneath. Once the gradients were in place, each figure received loose spray paint splatters and glitter accents, giving every piece its own personality. Some are wild and heavily worked, some are a little more restrained, but no two are alike. The face details are where these really lock in. Those giant eyes, tiny teeth, eyebrows, and clean facial hits are all carefully hand-painted with multiple coats, then sealed with UV-protective varnish and finished with two coats of glossy automotive clear. The result is a super slick, candy-coated finish that makes the colors feel even deeper and brighter in person. Each Painted GID Mister Melty is signed and dated, comes with a signed Certificate of Authenticity, and is packed in a hand-silkscreened cotton bag. These are not shipped at random either, so collectors can choose the exact figure they want. At $1200 each plus shipping, this is definitely a premium Buff Monster release, but for collectors chasing a true one-off, hand-painted, glowing Mister Melty, this is the good stuff. At the time of writing, Painted GID Mister Melty #2, #7, and #9 are still available, while #1, #3, #4, #5, #6, #8, and #10 have already sold out. Grab one before the rest melt away over at StayMelty.com.
