I'm mixing things up by mentioning two related things in this post: first, the new MACHETE trailer; and second, the MACHETE-inspired custom Tequila figure by custom artist Avatar666.

I've been looking forward to a MACHETE film since Danny Trejo played a similar character way back in DESPERADO. My mind was blown when I saw the MACHETE trailer during the GRINDHOUSE theatrical release. Little did I know that Troublemaker Studios would top that 'Mind-Blowing' by actually making a MACHETE feature film. One and a half hours of Danny Trejo killing guys with a bunch of knives would be a 'Must See' film... but when you add an eclectic cast of actors that includes Robert Deniro, Steven Seagal, Don Johnson, Jessica Alba, and even the infamous Lindsay Lohan, you've got a movie that is GUARANTEED to entertain my Pop Culture palette!

Evidently, Custom Toy Artist and long-time Muttpop fan Avatar666 (a.k.a. ELCHAKAL666) felt the same way. So much so that he decided to create a Tequila custom toy based on Danny Trejo's starring role in MACHETE. The likeness is PERFECT. The craftmanship, as with all of Avatar666's customs, is impeccable.

I've got more pics of Avatar666's in Muttpop's FAN ART section. You can also see some amazing 'Making-Of' photos on Avatar666's FLICKR page. And while you're here... if you haven't seen the latest MACHETE trailer, you are COMMANDED to watch it right now (youtube link below)!
