Molly Round 1
Great things always have to start somewhere. For Molly, her three dimensional form started with the initial sculpting skills of Lester and Erick Sosa. The figure was super raw at this stage. It's almost like a sculptural sketch... but you can see glimpses of Molly's personality shining through the clumps of clay.
I wonder what Lester was thinking as he brought shape to Molly's more feminine qualities?

Perfecting The Molly Pose
We're proud to announce that Molly's on her way from China. We expect to have her in stores in July or August. Lucky me. Bachelor party, marriage, Bill in the US, SDCC, signings, and Molly. July is going to be one helluva month.
When we started production on Molly, we asked Fabien (artist of Tikitis and our upcoming King Katch figure) to create the perfect Molly pose. We wanted to find a pose and expression that was attractive, cute and sexy but still captured the youth and energy of a teenage female. From the get go, Fabien nailed the pose. But it took a little longer to get the proper expression.
Savin (Molly's creator) felt our original pose and expression lacked the toughness and determination that Molly instilled. After testing out a different pose with a tougher expression, we settled on the original more dynamic pose and a grimmer expression. The sculpt pose is a mix of the best elements from the first one on top and the second one in the middle.
My fiance doesn't appreciate Molly's boobies. Then again, my fiance used to torture her Barbies. Maybe I should start locking up my Toy Cabinet...

Say What?!
Kozik El Brujo Narco Satanico. Ebay. $400+. Since the photos being used in the auction were created with a much younger Jerry's sweat, tears, and mouse-clicks, shouldn't Muttpop get 20% of the final sale? ;-)
Either way we're shocked, flattered, and awed to see that there's still some demand for the oldest bastard child of the Kozik X Muttpop lovefest. I feel like a 50 year old dude going to his favorite Strip Club, and discovering that his 18 year old daughter is the headlining stripper. Don't expect me to be giving El Brujo any tip$, but I'll proudly watch the show!

MPB Divine Cabinet of Perfection
Here's a rare glimpse at my "Divine Cabinet of Perfection". Seeing it with your own eyes is equal to things like King Tut's tomb or that fake Jesus towel. It's way better than that overrated "Body Works" exhibit of embalmed dead people.
While the majority of you have generic Ikea display cases made by Chinese robots, my display case was made 100s of years ago by skilled carpenters in the dry lands of India! Each panel of wood has the scars of hardship and Nature's scorn. It's the PERFECT cacoon for our figures (the GUTS of Muttpop).
While I wait to fill the remaining 2 shelves with more Muttpop perfection, I'm keeping those shelves busy with only the finest of Japanese Kaiju and some sentimental Western classics.
Jerry nearly sobbed of jealousy when he saw my cabinet. Photos can do it no justice... but alas there is no other way to capture it's beauty.

Super7 Issue 17 Muttpop Ad
Here's a peak at our ad in the upcoming Super7 #17. We love what Super7's been up to and wanted to show them some support. Some of you may recall us doing Tequila ads in Super7 way back in issues 11 and 12. So in some strange way this is a bit of a reunion.
This time around we took inspiration from the amazing montage Suffy did. The book/magazine won't be out until the end of 2008. But we couldn't help but share it with you guys!
