Succumbed to Scavengers exclusive

I said I would quit the addiction of picking up the exclusives, but I could not resist the price tag of $15 for Tenacious Toy's exclusive series 1 Scavenger, "Silver Winston".

Scavengers: Exclusive Beaumont

It's about time we move onwards to another exclusive, after the many previous exclusives of the Aubrie sculpt from Kathie Olivas' Scavengers Series 1. Without much notice, this piece will be released by MINDStyle Hong Kong, located at Delay No More today.

Gotta convince myself to not turn into a completist, but since I have missed out on quite a few, losing out on one won't hurt much.

Lainey & Fernando

And here they are, out for a stroll and a long breath of fresh air.

My series 2 Scavengers

- minus the chase here

Got my first case. As per usual, awesome quality. I have yet to find the right spot and shelf to display these.

Bless the Scavengers.

Scavengers Series 2

So all over the designer vinyl scene is news on the eagerly anticipated Scavengers Series 2 with confirmed information on the release date being today (my time) Friday, 24th October. Vinylpulse has just posted a fantastic photo of the complete set. Can't wait to get my hands on them, I have ordered 'a few'. ;)

Heroes of Burgertown

How can I not promote a fellow Nottingham artist, particularly if it's Jon Burgerman. Only met him the first time at his 'warehouse sale' two months ago. Then again, when he was kind enough to exchange a T-shirt that had a hole in it. Cheers mate.

His minis, going by the name (not surprisingly and loving it), "The Heroes of Burgertown" will be released TODAY by Kidrobot. I wouldn't have minded picking up a few minis from the man himself if he ever organizes another sale.

Anticipating Scavengers Series 2

Not that I have strayed away from blogging. Partly busy with settling in and there isn't many things that caught my eyes. And been saving up too, lookey lookey.

I am really looking forward to Kathie Olivas's Scavengers Series 2, due to be released in October. Stock photos released compared to those I previously blogged here, these are crystal clear shots of each pieces.

Still undecided which I like best. Probably the ones with the squid legs.

Scavengers Exclusives

So far, I have seen four figures of the Scavengers that are made exclusive, with the latest one whose image was released only yesterday or so.

Purple Aubrie, will be released at Dragon Con, Atlanta.

(29th August - 1st September)

SDCC Exclusives, Masao & Nigel

At the moment, dig the white Nigel the most. These in fact are of smaller run than the chase Hazel in Series 1 and one can assume these should worth more, for the time being. Once all the exclusives got released, which is probably like 13 of them, prices should not be as ridiculous as they stand now in the secondary market. Very unfortunate that fans like us will have to hope these will be sold online, which is usually the contrary.

Just to recapture the rest of the store exclusives in the coming:

Cardboard Spaceship (Santa Cruz)
De La Barracuda Shop (Hollywood)
Dragon Con (Atlanta)
FX Show (Orlando)
myplasticheart (New York)
Rivet Gallery (Ohio)
Rotofugui (Chicago)
3D Retro (Online)
1045 Showroom (Online)
Secret Fresh (Manila)
Sugar Vinyl (Taiwan)
Toy Tokyo (New York)
VTN (Pasadena)


Heaps... and there's Series 2 in the making. I reckon I shall stick to collecting the series(s).

Blank Scavengers

Red Dexter, White Aubrie, Black Masao

I recently purchased three of the blank Scavengers that were released at the SDCC. I don't usually purchase blanks unless they are for a custom commission, but these guys look fantastic in photo shoots.

These are of unlimited run so if you would like one, go hit your local stores.

SDCC Exclusive Scavengers

Another fantastic news is that we will be seeing two new exclusive Scavengers. Bad news is, they are only available at SDCC. Well, I can only hope that somebody will be sweet and kind enough to pick one of each for me.

Masao & Nigel

There is Masao which will be available at ToyTokyo's booth on Friday 25th and Nigel at MINDstyle's booth on Saturday 26th. Do refer to VinylPulse for exact time.

my Scavengers

she only came about on my second last blind box

Just pure happiness. Haven't had time yet to really look into them. I doubt I will find much flaws but it is still worth commenting, in due time.
