New Zombi, El ZOMBI muchacho malo

The name is El ZOMBI muchacho malo.
It's based on a Japanese wrestler, Kazushige Nosawa who wrestled mostly in Mexico, then went back to Japan.

All he needs is a helmet!

I love this guy, bandana & all!

New Custom Viking

Custom Viking created by me. He started life as a Toy Tokyo exclusive, and changed into this.

I decided to go with pastels, as these figures are usually dark, and foreboding. I went with spring colors, as they are a sign of rebirth and newness.
Canary yellow base, Caribbean blue for the wraps, and Fuchsia for the bones. Sorta gives him a Easter Egg, or Miami Vice look (or Miami Viking if you will).
He was fun to paint, and I have a few more ideas for customs that I will put on here when finished.

USUGROW

Alright, now for one of what I think was the hottest new releases from Secret Base in 2007. The Usugrow Revel/Rebel (depending on who you talk to) figures. The debut of the Black & White versions, (a Japan only release), sold exclusively at Secret Base, 09/2007, caught the vinyl world with it's pants down. If you did not get these figures, be prepared to pay big time for them as now 4 months later they still command a high price.

The figures are about 7" tall, the neck, arms and torso move. From the tips of his brushes to the soles of his tennies , to me this is one of the most aesthetically pleasing figures of 2007.

The black has silver print on the front that spells Secret Base, and the back has in silver the
INK FOR LIFE print.

The next figure was released 12/2007, (again Japan only) by Usugrow/Secret Base and is
called the Rebel Ink 1st color. The big difference from the first two are that the head, arms, and torso are a clear smoke color, and the bandana, belt buckle, and the tips of the brushes are painted silver. The Secret Base is still on the front, and the "INK FOR LIFE" is still on the back in silver.
