Los Angeles De La Muerte
The revered guardians of the Taurenos royal family.

The Taurenos monarchy has ruled Naoya 13 for the better part of two centuries. Maintaining their hold on this tumultuous kingdom has been no easy feat, thwarting numerous coup and assassination attempts over the decades. The inner sanctum of House Taurenos‘ security forces are the well known and revered Los Angeles De La Muerte. These elite troops are hand picked at a very young age, biomechanically enhanced, rewired and groomed into their roles as the sole guardians of the royal family. Linked together, they act as a single unit, sharing their data streams, their sole purpose in life is to protect the royal family. Knowing nothing but loyalty, it’s almost chivalrous. Can you think of a more trustworthy and efficient team to guard Queen Taurenos and her family?

Spring Cleaning
Looky what we dug up…

Just look at that stack of vinyl goodness. For some of you trying to complete your Dunny collection this is just one set short of being the holy grail of finds: Dunny Series 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6 (2009). In addition, we’ve got a couple of the Kidrobot Super Mini Keychain sets and a set of the 2006 World Cup Coca Cola Trexis. The best part? They’re all sealed and unopened. These are Huck’s artist sets, one of each figure in the set as part of his involvement in the series. They’ve been sitting in the back of a storage box for the last few years. We really had no clue what to price these at so we threw them all up for auction. You can find everything here: Huck’s Ebay Listings.

The “Bruiser”, ModNation News and Nibbles?
Sgt Vasquez dons the Vlad Systems Vl.12 Powersuit

Sgt Vasquez dons “Bruiser” the Vlad Systems Vl.12 PowerSuit. The Dread Squad’s rock’em, sock’em, down and dirty, preferred method of minor mechanized destruction. The Vl.12 is one of the more customizable early military and private sector models from Vlad Systems. With variations designed for extreme environments, fire/rescue squads, general warfare, construction, and even zoology. And let’s not forget the annual Mech games on planet Makoto!

This figure is really quite the monstrosity, weighing in at almost 20 pounds, it has real heft! The largest project we’ve yet to delve into. And in case you’re wondering, yes, that is a full size Munny, not a mini-munny. Each piece is signed, numbered and comes with shown accessories. 10 figures in this set, $1500 per figure. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure.

Pit Fighter Nibbles
Natural born brawler…

Long before he joined the Dread Squad, Nibbles was a renowned pit fighter on his home planet of Naoya 13, born into the interspecies favelas of Taurenos, the sprawling industrial port city. He survived the brutal street life as much with his wits as with his muscle, playing his foes against one another like an elaborate game of chess. His natural born skills and savage upbringing made him a perfect fit for the underground pit fighting circuit. He flourished, against all odds, climbing his way to the top of the heap and into the legends of underground fame.

But as is bound to happen, no matter how many steps he tried to stay ahead of his enemies, his luck eventually ran out, he crossed one person too many and found himself hunted down by the elite military police, jailed in a maximum security isolation wing, staring down the barrel of politico assassination allegations. He most likely would’ve perished there if not for Sgt Vasquez stumbling across him and offering him the opportunity of a new life as a member of the UTCMC Dread Squad…but that story is for another day…

Here we present Nibbles in all of his pit fighter glory… going on sale this Friday, April 16th, at Noon PDT. Each figure is signed, numbered and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. 10 figures in this set, $650 per figure.

Limit one figure per customer.

Lance Corporal “Nibbles” dons the “Can Opener”
Welcome LCpl Nibbles to the ranks of the UTCMC Dread Squad…

Today we are proud to present the latest addition to the UTCMC Dread Squad, the infamous (and adorable) Nrezatarian, Lance Corporal “Nibbles” wearing the Vlad Systems Mech Desecrator Close Quarters Reflexive Suit (AKA “the Can Opener”). This armor was designed to allow the lone marine to slip within a mech’s defensive perimeter and tear them apart in close combat. Utilizing reflexive technology to increase the wearer’s reflexes, strength and ability to leap, combined with the charged capacitive armor piercing claws, Nibbles is known to wreck pure havoc on the battlefield… and according to the rumors behind his nickname, and a long list of missing compatriots, off the battlefield too.

Going on sale in Huck’s brand spanking new store this Friday, April 2nd, at Noon PDT. Each figure is signed, numbered and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. 10 figures in this set, $750 per figure.

Limit one figure per customer.

Life size pure bronze Skullhead?

Featured, Handmade Figures, Limited Productionon March 22nd, 20103 Comments

This is some seriously heavy F’in metal. Huck and Fully Visual have outdone themselves. We think VinylPulse may have said it best, the new Huck Gee Skullhead in Bronze is in our opinion a Next Level piece. Without a doubt.” We have to agree, the finish is absolutely gorgeous… I think we’re in love. Tipping the scales at 40 lbs with marble base, it’s practically life size. This is an exclusive edition of 10 pieces, pure bronze, hand cast, American made, $1700 each. On sale March 25th at 10am PST exclusively via www.fullyvisual.com.

SGThicksUTCSO_550a

Huck has finally finished the next print in his Colonial Life series, and it’s quite huge… the UTCMC Sgt Hicks R&R print. Hicks is getting in quite late (or is that early?) to his lakeside retreat. Salvaged from a downed Nrezatarian Class Cruiser, we think he’s cleaned the place up quite nicely. Each is printed on fine art watercolor paper (225gs), 24″x12″ (26″x14″), signed, and gold embossed in the top left corner with the print #. Limited edition run of 99 prints, $75 per print.
