Last Blogger Post...(if all goes well!)

Muttpop — Tue, 05 Feb 2008 02:00:00 -0500

We have put our final touches to the "new & improved" version of our Muttpop Website. Our plan is to have one website that emcompasses all aspects of Muttpop including our blog, product news, and an online store. I'm sure there'll be some tweaks once it goes live...but our plan is to make that our new place for blog entries. So, if all goes according to plan, this will be my last post on Blogger.
Blogger, you have been a very dear friend. Thanks for the good times, man!
Here's a peak at the front page of our new website (which goes live tomorrow):

Dr. Destruction Original Official Release

Muttpop — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0500

A solicitation for Dr. Destruction Original has just been sent by our distributor (DKE Toys) to retailers. Dr. Destruction Original should start arriving at your favorite Designer Toy Store in the next coming weeks.

In celebration of the release, here's a gorgeous picture Jerry took. The menacing vibe he captured was inspired by Super7's latest Book.

First Look: Moko Sculpt

Muttpop — Mon, 14 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0500

Vinyl Pulse has an exclusive look at Moko from the upcoming Tcho! Mini-Figure line. The entire line has really come together during the last few round of sculpts. Moko is definitely one of our favorites (actually, all the sculpts are amazing!)...which is fitting since Moko comes from Ohm's Bao Battle comic and Ohm also happens to be the designer of the entire figure line.

At first we were haven't a bit of difficulty getting the right shape for the mask. The sculptors, Lester and Erick Sosa, were impeded by the idea that the mask should be a separate piece from the head. It was a nice idea, but the result was the mask felt far too detached and detracted from the overall shape of the figure. Once we decided to sculpt the mask as part of the head, the sculpting process was a very smooth one.

A small addition that made a world of difference was making the eyes raised. Originally we were going for just an outline of the eye. But, based on the wonderful suggestion by Ohm, we decided to create a raised relief for facial details on all the figures. It was a brilliant suggestion that made all the figures that much better.

Check our more pics of Moko HERE.

Molly Wax/Vinyl Cast Tests

Muttpop — Thu, 10 Jan 2008 02:00:00 -0500

Here are the first pics we've received from our factory of the Molly Vinyl Prototype. This version of the figure is made from the Master Mold to get a sense of how the original sculpt transferred over to the silicone molding process.

I'm guessing a bit here, because my contact in China did not give me any details...but I believe the maroon legs are still done in wax. I requested that the Muttpop logo be engraved in the bottom of the right foot...so they haven't made a new silicone mold with this correction.

Also, I requested that they give Molly's head a ball joint (similar to Red Demon) to ensure that the figure has maximum head poseability.Thus far, I'm pretty happy with how Molly is turning out.

Jerry just put the final touches on the box design which is amazing (I love ALL of Jerry's box designs). We were initially bummed because we thought we had to follow the Oban Star Racer product guidelines for the box...but after submitting our rough, the President of Sav! The World said that we should unleash that Muttpop magic on a revised design. We did and the final box is sharp and snazzy.

We'll share that with you later!
