[update] Kicktoys reveal their latest customizable creations: Beit Dude!

[update] Kicktoys reveal their latest customizable creations: Beit Dude! photo


While a mysterious poster for Kicktoys floated around the internet a few weeks ago, I chose not to post it. It's not that I don't like the murumurs of hype, but I knew the real thing would pop up soon enough and then I've have actual news to share with you, rather than the whispers of possibility.

Today, my friends, I have just that for you -- Kicktoys has revealed their new figures, Beit Dude, and they are a hell of a cool idea indeed. Along with an edgy urban look, the 6" figures have intentionally blank faces so they can customized by you. Such love for the custom community! We love you too, Kicktoys. We aren't just saying the words -- we really mean them this time.

No further details on pricing just yet, although the banner does say they are coming in Spring. In the meantime check out the gallery for a few shots of what the figures look like with some customized faces. They are cool, but obvious choices in line with the figure's style. I personally would rather go all out against the style in customizing one for myself (I like to be contrary like that.) What say you, collectors?

[Thanks Samdaman!]

Meet Davidkraig at Kidrobot NY's May 18 customizing event

Want to come check out some live customizing and meet artist Davidkraig? If you're in New York City, you can do that on Saturday from noon to 5 p.m. Eastern at Kidrobot New York (118 Prince St., SoHo, Manhattan).  As for what he'll be working on ... I'm not too sure. But you've seen his work before, and I assume he'll be sculpting out/painting something just as impressive for the event.
