RAMPAGE Instagram Photo CONTEST!

Hello out there in the interworlds!

Having recently reached 9,000 followers on instagram (after over 7 years of posting too much and browsing too much, but generally having fun doing so!), I figure it's time for another RAMPAGE PHOTO CONTEST - just like a few years ago.

So, it's happening NOW - and here's all the info you need to know:

Thanks everyone for all your support since I started using this Instagram thing in 2011!   For funsies, starting now and going through next Thursday (12/20), let’s do this photo contest thing to see who will win some (still TBD) rad #rampagetoys goodies!   To enter:

***post a photo (to your instagram feed) of your RAMPAGE TOYS figure(s), collection or some of your ORIGINAL artwork of any RAMPAGE character(s)

***toys and/or character must be RAMPAGE creations - NOT customs of other people’s work that I painted at some point

***you may post a new picture to your feed EVERY DAY!  

***each picture you want entered must be marked with the following tags:  #rampagetoyscontest2018 #rampagetoys

You don’t need to follow me to enter. This isn’t some obnoxious ‘follow and repost’ thing.  I hope this just gets people to post some fun pictures and/or art!

How to win:

***next Friday I will choose my personal top 10 photos

***my chosen top 10 will be posted to my feed and will have around 24 hours (give or take) to accumulate ‘likes’

***the people responsible for the top 3 most liked pictures will get prizes, which I will ship out at my convenience (holidays and all, it could take a bit).

Ready, GO!

RAMPAGE TOYS at DesignerCON 2018 - in Anaheim, CA!

Hey Hey!

So, I'm all packed up and soon to hop on a flight bound for Sunny California! 

First of all, gotta say it - I hope any and all of my people out there are safe and well.  This whole wild fire thing is crazy, and terrifying, and it's even a little bit intimidating to be flying out that way with all that's going on.  Please stay safe people.  (Being Alive) > (Toys and Stuff) !!!!

So, with that said, it's time to get to the Nitty Gritty of what I'll have with me at DCON.

Preview Night (this Friday, 11/162018, from 5-9PM) at the CLUTTER MAGAZINE Booth (#934):

I will have some but not nearly all of my items available for purchase on Preview Night.  Those of you who are in the Ugly Club who come and see me on Preview night will have early access to all of my items.  Please come by the Clutter Magazine booth, where I will be set up with Preview Night goods.

-Perhaps some other goodies (Goji anyone?)


ALSO - I will have stuff at the BLITZKRIEG TOYS booth - Booth #2729!  Actually the booth is going to be big old pile of awesome people with Awesome stuff, and I'm simplifying it by calling it the Blitzkrieg Toys' booth, but, well, the stuff I have there is a collaboration between myself and Blitzkrieg Toys, and so that's what I'm calling it!

At the booth, on the release schedule determined by Brandon (Blitzkrieg Toys):

ASSORTED PAINTED DOOMKOPF-X!  These'll be priced at $120-$150 each, and will come in 3 or 4 (or more) variant versions.  The figure features the Skullheadbutt Zombie X body and the head from the Doomkopf sofubi.  Radness!

I don't have a schedule for when I'll be at booth 2729, but I just might set up there at times and will share to instagram if I do.


Sunday (11/18), Morning Sales at the CLUTTER MAGAZINE Booth (#934).  I will be set up for the morning (until noon or so) with any items I have remaining after Friday and Saturday sales.  Sunday is OPEN AVAILABILITY on all items I'm selling - as many as you want.



SOME GENERAL GUIDELINES for a fun time buying RAMPAGE stuff:

***CASH IS KING!  If yo can please not pay me with $100 bills, that would be greatly appreciated.  Paypal payments are not out of the question, but might result in having to wait until there is a calm time to do so.

**If there is a line, please be patient and respectful, and please wait for your turn.  Each customer will have the same chill and relaxed shopping experience this way.  I'm not a robot - it's ok to chat! 

**Generally speaking everyone can buy 1 of each item available when they visit my sales location.  In some cases where there are various versions of a single figure, I will decide the quantities available per person on a case by case basis.  Aside from the SUNDAY OPEN SALES, no exceptions will be made, so please do not ask to buy all of something (or other such crazy requests as I've had in the past).

**Don't be a dick!  Always an important part of life - but especially in this case because THEY ARE TOYS PEOPLE!


If you're coming to the show, and we've interacted before, please say 'hi!'  I look forward to meeting you!

See you all soon!

RAMPAGE DAY and SUMMER SLIME 2018!!!

Hey Folks!

Summer events are fast approaching!

July 21st is the big day this year - the day of the SECOND ANNUAL INTERNATIONAL RAMPAGE DAY!

There will be 2 events on that day:

Event #1) SUMMER SLIME 2 with Bwana Spoons and Paul Kaiju at the old GUNZO store in Old Town, San Diego!

Please RSVP HERE for this year's SUMMER SLIME event.

RSVP-ing gives us a measure on how much food and beverage and how many toys to bring for the hungry masses.  

I will be out in Sunny San Diego for this event, and am psyched to see you all and hang out!  This year I will be doing sales simultaneously with Paul and Bwana, so I will have more of a chance to eat Tacos and enjoy some brews.  All of the necessary info about the event location, times, etc. can be found on PAUL KAIJU'S website

Event #2) RAMPAGE DAY at Vintage and Vinyl Club in Hong Kong!

I have sent over a big old box of goodies for RAMPAGE DAY at VVC this year - even more than last year, and I think even BETTER!  Please have a look at the RT and VVC Instagram pages for all sorts of teasers.  I'll have to put together a promo image for this year's show - and will update here as soon as I do.


Hope you are all staying cool and having fun this Summer!

NEW PIGUMON!

Hey Hey!

Random update about a release I think people will be psyched about!

Thousand Toys (Toys to Art) will be selling a new version of the RAMPAGE TOYS Ultra Kaiju Series' Pigumon THIS FRIDAY!

This guy:

This dude is the first painted GID release of this figure.  Alas, the sale will be for Japan only, but I'm sure those of you who know this monster toy business will have a way around that road block.

Drop will be this Friday (4/20) here:

https://toys-to-art.com

Not 100% sure about the time of the release....  best to check ye ol' Instagram.

While I'm typing here I might as well say some other stuff --->

This Friday will also see the public release of some pretty pretty Aurora (holographic) glitter figures AND new Ugly Club enrollment - in the RAMPAGE webshop.  Drop will be up around 10 AM.  There are lots of glitter dudes available, and the Ugly Club slots will be available through Next Monday, or until they are all gone.  I'm trying to sort out T-shirts to order for this, but not 100% sure what/if, so I'm not 100% sure about pricing to join.  It'll be a toy, goodies and stuff bundle.  Current club members will also be able to order the shirts if they wish too (IF I get them sorted out!).

Ok, that's a lot of ifs.  Enough for now!

Thanks for reading.

Double Post Day. Post #2. NEW Release of the RT x Medicom Toy Godzilla!

Wasting no time!  Here's some more info for you to read whilst delaying work and other tasks that 'you should be doing' 😋

Coming soon is the newest release off the RAMPAGE x MEDICOM TOY Shoudai (aka Original) Godzilla!

This version of the figure is painted as an homage to the vintage Bullmark Hawaii Godzilla Colorway.  The base is a light flesh color (typical of the type used in most doll manufacturing facilities), which is coated extensively with a sky blue color and then accented with silver sprays.

As you can see in the above photos, I painted a few figures in an attempt to best match the blue that is found on the original Bullmark figures.  Trouble is, it's not so easy to know if I'm matching the 'real' original color or if I'm just matching the color as its come to look after the many many years of aging.  In the end though I went for the middle ground (figure in the center of the pics).

I have a collector to thank for the photo references of the vintage figure as well as discussions about the final choice on which blue suits the homage best.  So - thanks man - you know who you are.

The release will be an open order, with the figures shipping by the end of July.  Order window is 3/24 through 4/30/2018.

All release info is now available in numerous Japanese Publications, including the Sofubi Tokyo Blog, and the upcoming issue of Hyper Hobby.  This release is limited to sales within Japan, so you will need to find an assist if you are unable to use a Japanese address.  

I'm hoping to offer an AP release of this version as I did with the first release.  Time will tell though.

Well, thats all the typing I have in me for the day.  Hope you've enjoyed!

RAMPAGE GODZILLA - AP Release!
