    KaToPe is awesome. I hope one day to own a piece and meet KaToPe. I love that one wearing the Zag shirt as well.

    Had a chance to chat with Katope at the Horvath live painting event in Shinjuku.

    Really sweet guy and funny. I didn't even know who he was until he left and Koji told Jason and I.

    incredible photos. I really wish I could see this in person.
    the NFS Zag is pretty much the coolest thing I've seen all year.

    amazing work Mike!

    I'm so bummed I missed this show! I love the body switching and the creative mix of resin and vinyl in the customs.

    Congrats Mike on a fantastic showing!!!

    These are some of the most original and fantastic customs I've seen in a good long while. Looking forward to purchasing a Bangal sometime in the near future.

    Wow. I really don't think I've looked at photos of customs for as long as I just did. The mixed parts are so imaginative and the colors are perfect. The Hedo tank with the blue goo is especially amazing.

    I've always liked Mike's artwork, but I'm not a fan of resin stuff. I'm glad to see his designs transfered to Gargamel's sculpting abilities. Bangal looks like a great toy.
