Lastnight was the Villain Custom Toy Show featuring all the usual suspects, a few newcomers and a mini Villain Store to keep the shoppers happy.

I have a few photos to share, but nothing much to write at this stage as I’m super exhausted after a week of late nights finishing off my toy.

(This is mine - A production post will be up in the next few days)

I promise I’ll update this post as soon as I can, but for now check out the awesomeness and if you’re in Melbourne go down to QV and check out the show!

Villain Store is putting on a show to round off the year featuring a massive line-up of artists customising everything from Munnys, Teddy Troopers and Coin Ups to a blank by Melbournes’ own Mad Techie of low brow Claudio Mantuano.
Along with the custom toy goodies there will be artwork and prints by many of the artists. If you haven’t finished your Christmas shopping yet you may find a few somethings for under the tree.

Sean and I have a custom Fawn each (made by Claudio) and a few bits and pieces including a framed Fight Like Rabbits!

We spent last weekend getting our toys into shape and I’m thinking we could even make deadline this year Here’s a photo of our workspace - One room fits all - Glamorous!

Hats off to the talented - Melbourne based artist - Nior (formerly Junior)
Last-night was the official opening of his first solo show Far & Away.

Of the many meticulously hand crafted pieces on show the two that stood out for me had to be the towering wood sculpture (pictured) and another smaller painting that included a real animal skull.
