Play Imaginative's Mickey Mouse custom showcase is shaping up nicely, as you can see with the above addition by AW177. This "Dragon Ninja" Mickey gives a nod to it being the Chinese 'Year of the Dragon' while decorating him in Japanese ninja attire. The sculpting looks great, and I especially love how the striking/climbing knives and nunchucks actually fit into the back slots on his belt. The black outlining around the gold accents is a bit thick for my taste, but it is all done superbly. Joining JFury's piece we revealed yesterday, this show has some beautifully done pieces that have diversity in their designs… what more can you ask for?

Tenacious Toys has been gearing up artists with blanks for the past few months now in preperation for NYCC and one of those artists to receive a few was Allen W. aka AW177... where he proceeded to work his magic on 3 Toy2R mini Qees. Allen tells us that "Taking the Toy2R Monkey Qee to work on, I created a new Chinese tiger on the front and the words Power/Strength on the back. It has a monotone paint scheme of black, white and grey, but with a touch of bright red in it. I also coated it in a matte varnish, when I usually do all my custom toys in a gloss varnish." His extreme Asian infused style worked so well on this platform and if you plan on attending NYCC be sure to check these out as both will be on display/sale at the Toy2R/Tenacious Toys booth #876!

Artist Allen Wen aka AW177 just finished up a recent custom mini munny commission for a client, and how cool did this Chinese "Rice Bowl" mini munny come out! I dig the simplicity of it, and the glossiness of the piece really gives it that much need "porcelain" look... and the chopsticks are an obvious necessary accessory!
