MH late 2012 Update + new Goodness in Blamo Toys' HUG Custom Show

We're not dead! In fact, quite the opposite. MH is on track for an awesome 2013, with both of us residing in the same state for the first time in 3 years (crazy to think about actually). Cliff's got a wicked new setup and we have some hot newness brewing for an imminent release (*cough*newaxefacebcandaccessories*cough*). And, who can forget Fig-lab's Finger Five Gang, of which we are humbly honored to be a part of. Expect our first vinyl release (!) soon!

In the meantime, these new customs will have to do. These were created for Blamo Toys' 4th Annual Custom Show held at Toy Art Gallery. The figure for this year is their cute little 2" resin hug, and Cliff and I both did our thing on them. Check em out and buy em HERE!

MonstreHero x RxH LEECHFACE (and more) @ SDCC and beyond

Hey guys! We wanted to share these pics and info about our just-completed collab with Japanese soft vinyl god REAL HEAD titled LEECHFACE. Leechface is a RxH Adult-sized body with a cast resin hands and a rotocast resin head, all painted up and glossed with Monster Kolor! There are three types available; one edition (middle guy) and two one-offs.

Since we don't have an official set-up spot at SDCC this year to release them we'll be doing it "twitter-tag guerilla" style. Make sure to follow @monstresean and @monstrecliff on Twitter and Instagram for location updates and if you're interested, we'll meet up! We've also got a bunch of resin goodies too, like our new Bloody Victim Heads and our Mini Monstres, all unique!

Those not attending SDCC (and even those that are) should keep an eye out on monstrehero.bigcartel.com throughout the week too...

AXEFACE B.C. drops Friday June 1st at noon!

Dropping tomorrow, Friday June 1st 2012 at 12pm PST is a fresh new batch of our AXEFACE B.C.! This being the first "official" release (the other being a few samples at last year's Designercon) we wanted to do something a little cool, so each AXEFACE B.C. will come with an old-school toy catalog and a print! No pics of the print yet cuz I'm still drawing it, damnit. And, in a MH first (?), we have an official story blurb! Check it out:


Axeface...the Scourge of Pre-history and the Ancient Enemy of the Skullmasters!


The spawn of ancient beasts and dark science, the Axeface clan is renowned and reviled for their brutal combat skill and blood magic alike. On the battlefield they are cruel and merciless, their arms and armor crafted from the bones of their fallen foes. An Axeface is alway ready for a rumble!


So where did the Axeface's come from? Who taught them this blood magic? Are they always evil or are they just born that way? All these questions and more will be answered..eventually!

Preview the AXEFACEs now at the MONSTRESHOP!

Soon! Axeface BC!

Monstrehero LUCKY BAGS!

MH is starting 2012 off with a bang.

The Monstrehero 2012 LUCKY BAG features TONS of genuine MONSTREHERO goodness in one super-deluxe package (ie paper bag)! This is a LUCKY bag, so the contents are a mystery, but trust us when we say that every bag is a winner in one way or another.

Almost every sculpt and character in the Monstrehero canon is represented, PLUS never-before-seen sculpts, unreleased colorways, prototypes, one-offs and art show pieces will be randomly included. This is a great jumping on point for new MH collectors and a fantastic supplement to any existing collection.

ALSO, for the first time ever, we introduce MONSTRE-POINTS! These first issue one-of-a-kind coins feature the visage of one of our most near-and-dear creations, the venerable VICTIM #1, and will be redeemable for exclusive MONSTRE-SWAG in the future.

Each bag gets you at least THREE full-sized figures and an assortment of minis, smaller works, odds and ends, and more!

For sale MONDAY, Feb. 13th at the MONSTRESHOP: monstrehero.bigcartel.com

Finger Five coming soon! (?)

Here's a project that's been a loooong time in the making: the FINGER FIVE gang fingerpuppets! FINGER FIVE is a series of 5 (duh) japanese vinyl one-piece toys. We decided to go with fan-favorite MYSTERIOUS APE as our first entry. He's got one or two surprises in store yet.

We're super-psyched to be a part of this motley crew which includes toy giants PAUL KAIJU, SUCKLORD, ONELL DESIGN and LAMOUR SUPREME!! Big THANKS to Don Fig-lab Kratzer for putting this all together and inviting humble Monstrehero to be a part of it. More details as they come!
