I said a while ago, elsewhere,  that the Galaxy People universe was missing two major elements- big cats and radiolaria. Well, here’s what I’ve been working on- satisfies the first requirement.

Actually it’s not even 3/4 finished really. When I’ve got the outside done I’ve got to start on the insides.  Think Griffin’s neighbour’s cat!

Updates soon.

Friday sees the start of TAG’s (Toy Art Gallery) Juried Resin Show.

Here’s a preview of the Galaxy People presence, 2 Asterian Parasitoids and a Vesuvian Devil.

Design Festa 33 was a lot of fun-  caught up with a bunch of people and met a whole lot of new faces.

Huge thanks if you picked anything up from my table-   I left the festival with pretty much an empty box, but the last couple of Chirops have just gone up on the Galaxy People store.

Stuck behind the table I didn’t get a chance to see much of DF beyond my immediate neighbouring booths, but for a good overview of the represented toy scene check out the Saturday coverage by Kaiju Korner  and Sundays at sqdblstr.

Galaxy People will be appearing in force at Design Festa in just a few days time. Expect reappearances from Skarthrax, Chirops and the debut appearance of an all new mysterious villain.

Sunday May 15th. Design Festa, Tokyo Big Sight, Booth A-198  all toys ¥2500 each

Superfestival was a great event, as always a chance to meet up with other like minded toy freaks and to see what twisted creations their warped minds had been imagining.

No event photos from me this time, but the usual suspects Kadomium Tank, sqdblstr and Kaiju Korner have got a bunch up.

Left-overs from my offerings are up at the Galaxy People Webstore. 2 Glow in the Dark  numbers, and a Clear crystal blue Parasitoid with pearlescent spray.

An early preview for the next release.
