wow what a line up. Wish I could go to this show. Can't wait to see what people do with this awesome sculpt.
quite the list - will have to commit to a trek down the coast. the unpainted ones look great in person but the sculpt has been aching for some paint.
I would shit my pants if Skinner painted a toy! I've always wondered what vinyl customs from him would look like. Judging by the masks he did recently, they would kick ass! I also can't wait to see how Johnny Ryan violates Bugerbuns. I hope it's not pretty.
If I have a job by the show I will definitely be driving down for this. Will it all fit in the new store??
I was thinking the same thing Blake! I can't imagine what Johnny Ryan will do to poor burgerbuns! Hopefully some will end up online for us foreigners!
Sucks that the opening is the same night at Designer Con in Pasadena. Does this also mean we won't be seeing a Super 7 table at DCon this year?
Skinner just recently did a piece for the Dragatomi show last weekend. I think it sold at the show so it's not up in the online shop, but I can see if the link to the preview list is still active. *edit* The link is active but all the pics are gone. Sorry.
sweet ass line up! wish i could make, but unfortunately i cant afford a trip to sf .... but at least ill be able to make it to the designer con
I have been fantasizing about custom BB's ever since I got mine. Seriously bad ass hair incoming! I really want to see Bwana and Arbito's work with these but I think Lash and PK's style in particular will show a whole other side of BB. The texture of the hair against the smooth areas just looks to be good canvas and the size is perfect for me. I cant wait for an unpainted run in bigger numbers so I can get some custom fodder.
Same here.. I'm particularly interested in seeing Bwana and Buff Monsters take on BB, and I can only imagine what's gonna go on with the LASH and KaToPe one's. This should be a very interesting show.
pretty sure you can still get the first run at S7. I saw what blank their using for the show. Sadly, it will not be for sale to the public
Nah, the SDCC Burger Buns sold out long ago. Unless they sell them in store and don'y have them online. A run just to the show huh? Cool and sad at the same time.
Man, I just knew I was going to love these painted up. Some times living so far off the grid really sucks. I would love to see this show.
