#tequila 2.0

NEW POST: Scott Kinnebrew aka 'The Forces of Dorkness' shares with us today a recent commission he completed... and for you Star Wars fans, this is for you! Introducing the "Chewquilla", Scott's take on everyone's favorite Wookie. Created using a Muttpop "Tequilla" figure as the base, Chewie is 100% vegan (fur and leather) with a sculpted face, custom dyed fur, and handmade bowcaster... all of which look great! Oh... and get this, his bandolier/sash was handsewn by Scott as well, and actually works... so he can stash all his space goodies in it, like bantha milk and wookie cookies. According to Scott... this custom has garnished a ton of attention so far, to the point where he might just be making a custom run of these in the near future! For more info and to find out when/ if this happens, you can follow Scott on Instagram HERE for the most up to date info! Grrrwaaaaaarggggh... http://dlvr.it/9swmWB

NEW POST: I've been quite the fan of Dave "Davemarkart" Webb's custom creations for quite a while, especially his 'calling card' style which is fondly known as "Inner Demons" — a twisted nesting Ouroboros monstrosity, detailing a monster eating a monster eating a monster that is eating a skeleton. This specific commissioned piece is titled "Demonio Interior" and is built upon Muttpop's 8-inch tall "Tequila" figure base, with Davemarkart having meticulously re-imagined the core vinyl creature. I'm especially fond of the gladiator or warrior based adornments on the outer creature's body… fantastically rendered and perfectly painted, a true feather in the creator's cap. http://dlvr.it/8CXL3y

NEW POST: Josh Mayhem shows off to us his latest custom... "Ta-Kill-Ya" - a custom Muttpop Tequila commissioned by a private collector featuring multiple points of articulation and mashed up to look like one badass mech! This, by far, is one of the coolest looking customs Tequila's to date... so killer! Josh is currently taking commissions and can be reached through his Facebook page HERE. Great stuff, dude! http://dlvr.it/7vQs5X

NEW POST: Jon Paul Kaiser has yet another custom to show off... a private commission and it's JPK's take on Wreck-It Ralph. The customer wanted the theme but wasn't sure which base to use... Jon mentions that "Muttpop were the company that drew me into collecting vinyl toys in the first place and I thought Tequila would be a perfect fit." Sure enough... a perfect fit! With newly sculpted hair, and touches of color to make that plaid shirt shine, this is one rad looking custom! http://dlvr.it/7QPcCD

NEW POST: Rocketboy has customized a classic 8-inch tall Tequila vinyl figure into an adorable 'monster' that he calls "Chevronster!" Using a bit of sculpting magic to transform the base figure's design, Rocketboy finesses a beautiful washed tone out of his paints to create a realistic looking skin coloration on this one-of-a-kind piece. Uniquely made for a private collector, connoisseurs of finely sculpted and painted works can contact the artist directly through his website to arrange a commission of their own. http://dlvr.it/56Vkv3

NEW POST: WickedMasterMind hand-painted these 8-inch tall Tequila vinyl figures to create "The Lightning Receivers," "two Martian God's of Lightning [who] stand strong with electrical force on any battle field, ready for victory…" We're told that the duo, which were commissioned customs, will be used as trophies for a fantasy football league, which sounds like some great outside the box thinking to me! Since these were commissioned pieces, they are sadly not available, but you can always contact the artist at WickedMasterMindDesigns [at] gmail [dot] com and commission a work of your own! http://dlvr.it/4JgQpb

NEW POST: J.Riot just finished an awesome looking commissioned Tequila piece titled "The Incredible Rioteer", and it turned out fantastic!!! He mentions that this was his first custom Tequila, but he hopes to do more in the near future. I really dig his style... adding those nice thick black lines to pull attention to and accent the shape of the figure, almost like it's 100% cell-shaded... RAD! That being said, if you dig his clean style, he is currently taking commissions at [email protected] for Tequila's or you can just visit his online store HERE to see what is up for grabs at the moment! http://dlvr.it/4ByxgJ

NEW POST: Perhaps the work "Orc" immediately summons images from Lord of the Rings for you — either in bound page or moving picture form — or maybe it invokes recollections of sitting around a table, dice in hand, waiting to slay fiendish monsters in Dungeons & Dragons in your mind. For me, it summons vague remembrances of a Warhammer spin-off game named Blood Bowl, wherein a myriad of fantastical creatures were dressed in American Football uniforms and subjected to an ultra-violent version of the sporting event. And based on his "Orcus Hakkus" custom (built out of a Tequilla figure), I can see the Blood Bowl influence in the garb and armoring, even though I strongly suspect that artist Don P has never played the game. Per usual, Don P delivers great sculpting and painting, making the piece shine on its own. And, according to Don P, he's "totally in love with orcs now" and "would love to make more into this style." So if you have an orcish fantasy that you would like made into a reality, I'd strongly suggest dropping Don P an email! http://dlvr.it/3x8lVw
