Toysrevil is a great vinyl, toys and art site for anyone who loves collectible figures and urban figurines... Big thanks to TOYSREVIL for their support in spreading the word about Deadmau5 Series 2... Cheers guys!

Deadmau5 Mini Collectibles Series 2

OddCo are delighted to announce a brand new 2nd series of Deadmau5 Mini Collectibles, now available from all good entertainment stores worldwide, including http://www.weloveodd.com/.

Deadmau5 Mini Collectibles are a series of fantastic plastic toys, available from Deadmau5 himself and OddCo Ltd. purveyors of twisted gifts and far out figurines.

Series 2 now features 12 new characters depicting dance legend Deadmau5 in his most collectible form yet…

*Blind boxed and released in varying quantities of availability, some figurines are harder to find than others, making them rarer and more desirable. These are referred to as chase figurines.

After the huge success of Series 1 in 2010, Series 2 now consists of 12 x 2” characters, including the above - Pew-Pew, 4x4, Blood Sucker and Circuit… Which style will you find in your box? (RRP £6.99)

There is also an exclusive launch of 3 Ibiza Special collectibles this month.
These will also be available from selected Deadmau5 shows and entertainment stores worldwide including the stores at www.deadmau5.com or www.weloveodd.com

*What is blind boxed? - Blind Box or Blind Packaged means you don't know which specific design from a series you might be receiving. The boxes and/or bags are sealed and we don't know which toy is inside them. It's like buying trading cards, except you don't get a lame piece of cardboard, you get a cool collectible.

THIS IS THPARTA!

To celebrate the launch of our 300th Bad Taste Bear, our very own Nigel Auchterlounie has drawn us a very special Sparta Comic Strip! Enjoy!







You can now buy the 300th Bad Taste Bear here...

UNDERHILL ORIGINALS

Earlier on in the year, we mentioned that Peter Underhill was opening his studio doors for commissioned BTB artwork. Pete has kindly send us some photos of the first two pieces that he has completed for two of his lucky customers. Check out Boba Fetch and Coco... Big thanks to those who have placed orders so far. You must be over the moon with the results!

GIANT ARNOLD!!!?

Wow! Check out this AWESOME MASSIVE ARNOLD that retailer Rec-House, our extremely creative partners in France, have displayed in their shop window!

Rec-House is a little toy store in Strasbourg, France, owned by retailer Guillaume Reeb.

The giant, wood terminator bear (43,31" ) was designed and built for Guillaume, by his good, good friends Jean-Sebastien Fruhling and Antoine Huart. Apparently, it took just 1 week to make (they could teach US a lesson or two!?) and his eye lights up. It weighs 15 kg.

Conratulations Guys! You've done us proud...

My big fat royal zombie wedding

What's better than a Royal wedding?
A zombie royal wedding! Now coverage of that I'd watch!
Well, anyway. Here's what I've got to work with. Awesome in part because I had nothing to do with any part of it.

So I intend to stand tall on the shoulders of giants such as Pete, Wayne, and Gavin. The only thing I need to do is not f**k it up.

The first thing to do, I felt, was to alter their stance, because that wasn't very zombie like, so to do that I cut it up into chunks! Oh yes. That's right! This is more than a re-paint.

Yikes! I've done it now!
Using super glue to stick it back together would only result in the same bear again. So it's time to bring out the moders friend, car body filler.

A nice big blob of filler in between the bits means I can put all the bits a pieces back at different angles.

And while I'm at it I may as well stick the crown on a Kate's head instead!

Now, with a dremel, I need to carry the lines of the drapery back through, so you cant tell it used to be all chopped up.

Then I gave it a bit of a spray with the white. To get a better idea of shapes without getting distracted by colour. I hollowed out Kate's eyes a bit and put the black dots back on with some filler.
I also hollowed out her cheeks a bit, cut her jaw off and stuck it back on open.

Because William is now leaning back the dress was draping incorrectly so it needed a big fat splodge of filler there


Now that he's looking up I can make more of his face too. Hollowing out the eyes and mouth with the dremel again giving it a scream type thing.

A few holes in kate and her dress too...

Some cuts too. Maybe it was Fred who got to her?

Then it's just a matter of painting it I guess.

And here's some before and after shots...

THE ROYAL PRINT

You've seen the commemorative plates and tea towels - now get your hands on the Crown Jewels.

BTB craftsman Peter Underhill has created “A Right Royal Affair” Wedding Souvenir print which in years to come will become a special commemorative memento of a magical day.

Available to pre-order until 2pm on Thursday 21st April, the print will be strictly limited to the number sold and is due to be dispatched in early May.

Wedding memorabilia is hot property and with floods of tacky plates, mugs and even condoms hitting the shops, this tongue-in-cheek print is sure to stand out from the rest and create and conversational centrepiece.

And if you do manage to wangle a wedding invite, don't eat the cake - in 1998, a piece of wedding cake from Charles and Diana's wedding sold at auction in £17,000!
