Popsoda Custom

I got around to spraying some custom vinyl figures. First one up is a Popsoda figure. I’ve always kinda dug this little dood. The popsoda lettering on his face kinda has a psych 60’s feel. I could do without the varsity jacket though.

Airbrush on flesh colored vinyl figure.

 

SAaaaaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeet.

 

The coloring looks very layered and the shifting is nice. The jacket back is my favorite part of it. Nice work!

 

beautifull......

 

Looks really great!

Toybot...it looks just like one of your fine photos!

 

You did an amazing job with the colors and painting the sculpt... definitely the first Popsoda I've actually liked. If I could ask one question tho, why didn't you paint the logos on the front of the jacket?

 

As an outstanding popsoda fan and hard nosed board member. I'll ask the tough questions...

Can I have it? Pretty please?

 

Thanks doods.

Just thought it would be overkill.

 

That's usually my approach. It's actually worked a few times.

 

Not a fan of this figure but this is a truly sweet paint job!

 

Damn I gotta start asking for stuff all the time then. Never thought it worked for anyone before.

 

Move aside youngsters! I've got "seniority(!)"

Very nicely executed paint... stunning.

 

Sweet!

 

OK. I want to ask a real hard question...

Why would you paint your name (or handle) on the back of the figure? Why not just sign the bottom of the foot or something? Just seems so KR to me... Don't mean to be a dick. Just genuinely curious as to the thought process that led to putting it there.

Aside from disliking that one aspect... it is a great paint job. Dig the colors and fades. Great execution. Really, really clean.

 

Regularly I sign my figs on the bottom foot. I thought the jacket needed some lettering on the back... so I signed it. It was spontaneous. To 99% of people it's going to look like a random word anyway.

 

Sooo can I have it?

 

Aw man. Unless I read that wrong?

 

nicely done arbito!
the colors are great.

 

The figure says "popsoda" on the front of it so I think the "arbito" on the back is fitting. Nice work btw!

 

Very nice! This fig had to grow on me a bit as well.

 

yea, i don't see what people see in this crap.

 

I love this sculpt and the paint job is top notch too. I think the PopSoda is underrated and never gets the love he deserves. As for the varsity jacket I think it works perfectly in contrast with the psychedelic feel of the letters on his face.

 

its done well. the writing on the back seems to me like the character's biker gang. don't mess with the Arbito Boys, they'll coldcock ya with a bottle when yer pumpin quarters in the juke.

 

As does your choice of colors. Whenever I see your work I remember all sorts of psych-influenced things from approx 1969-1973 that seem to be forgotten to time. That's a compliment by the way. It's cool that you saw the lettering in that Fillmore-poster way. It definitely has that hand-drawn groovy drippiness to it.
