Especially Mothra and The Peanut Sisters. I love those little fairy girls that sing to Mothra. Recently <a title="Toys by Super7" target="_blank" href="http://super7store.com">Super7</a> has all these great clear vinyl toys, and I love them all. I collect Bryan Flynn’s Ghostland characters, and I love Gargamel’s Kaiju designs. Here we have Zagoran. The clear red Pocket Zagoran is exactly how I purchased it, but the little baby Zagoran was spray painted by me using Fusion spray paint and Testor’s model paint for eyes, teeth and claw details. The teeny tiny 1.5” tall baby Zagoran is sold unpainted in a solid baby blue color. I took him apart, set halves on two chop sticks, and hit him with all 3 primary colors. Spray painting something this small is nuts and only possible with fast kung-fu moves. Seems a fitting technique for painting Kaiju.</p>http://jemoores.com/post/1054492744http://jemoores.com/post/1054492744Thu, 02 Sep 2010 12:22:00 -0700plastictoyskaiju<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l810y4IeEQ1qzpwi0o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://thedailywh.at/post/1044659230/biofictional-toy-of-the-day-artist-jason-freeny">thedailywhat</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Biofictional Toy of the Day: </strong>Artist Jason Freeny continues his series of visible vinyl doll sculptures with an anatomically correct reimagination <a href="http://moistproduction.blogspot.com/2010/08/uglydoll-icebat-anatomy-sculpt.html">of David Horvath and Sun-Min Kim’s Uglydoll Icebat</a>.</p> <p>[<a href="http://moistproduction.blogspot.com/2010/08/uglydoll-icebat-anatomy-sculpt.html">moist</a>.]</p> <p><strong>Earlier:</strong> <a href="http://thedailywh.at/post/1004470816/vinyl-toy-of-the-day-biofictionist-jason-freeny">Anatomical Dunny</a>.</p> </blockquote>http://jemoores.com/post/1048036169http://jemoores.com/post/1048036169Wed, 01 Sep 2010 07:29:00 -0700toysplastic<object width="400" height="326"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/rHog9UD8RSU&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/rHog9UD8RSU&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="326" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Betty Boop and Grampy 1935</p>http://jemoores.com/post/1039158081http://jemoores.com/post/1039158081Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:15:06 -0700animation<object width="400" height="326"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCK288kGXow&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FCK288kGXow&rel=0&egm=0&showinfo=0&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="400" height="326" allowFullScreen="true" wmode="transparent"></embed></object><br/><br/><p>Krazy Kat 1916</p>http://jemoores.com/post/1039119207http://jemoores.com/post/1039119207Mon, 30 Aug 2010 16:06:15 -0700animation<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7sdmghnR21qat4k8o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://30.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7sdmghnR21qat4k8o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7sdmghnR21qat4k8o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7sdmghnR21qat4k8o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7sdmghnR21qat4k8o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7sdmghnR21qat4k8o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Here’s my new Sweet Buns resin toy with custom Sculpey Bake & Bend head phones accessory.

Swamp Boggers, Sweet Buns, and Skix the skeleton minion guy way in the back. When I was a kid, late at night my grandfather would tell me the bullfrogs were Swamp Boggers. Hark! Hear that? Swamp Boggers. I think he wanted me to stay away from the swamp, so he told me scary stories. It is a scary place. Giant black bog full of eels, bull frogs, and snapper turtles. Around the banks beaver have chewed all the small trees into knee high spikes. Wicked evil place, and it was just across the road from our farm house by the cemetery. I have a lot of stories about Swamp Boggers.</p>http://jemoores.com/post/1012333235http://jemoores.com/post/1012333235Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:33:01 -0700plastictoys<img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7puopnDhr1qaff0to1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I think she’s setting him free.</p> <p><a href="http://phokos.tumblr.com/post/1009413278/crab-shack-8-x5-acrylic-on-board-private">phokos</a>:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>Crab Shack</strong></p> <p>8”x5” Acrylic on Board (private collection)</p> <p>Why would this fine lady assume that a bird cage could hold a huge crab, Much less lift the entire contraption.

I was so fascinated by old toys on the farm I grew up on. The only paint left on those old toys is deep in the recesses. The antique process reminds me of print making. Rubbing all that paint on and off.</p>http://jemoores.com/post/999966512http://jemoores.com/post/999966512Mon, 23 Aug 2010 15:00:47 -0700humptyplastictoys<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhorqcC91qat4k8o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I did this block print of <a title="Humpty Falls by J.E.Moores" href="http://jemoores.com/tagged/humpty">Humpty Dumpty</a> a few winters ago, and I thought it would be a cool 3D figure…</p>http://jemoores.com/post/999651983http://jemoores.com/post/999651983Mon, 23 Aug 2010 13:46:02 -0700humptyblockprint<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://28.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://26.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o5_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o6_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_l7mhedjn3a1qat4k8o7_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a title="Humpty Falls by J.E.Moores" href="http://jemoores.com/tagged/humpty">Humpty Falls</a> by J.E.Moores.</p> <p>Stages to make this toy:</p> <ol> <li>terra cotta clay</li> <li>bisque fire</li> <li>glaze fire</li> <li>silicone mold</li> <li>hand cast white plastic</li> <li> <a title="Humpty Falls by J.E.Moores" href="http://jemoores.com/tagged/humpty">paint</a> to bring out details</li> </ol> <p>I use <a title="How to videos for casting silicone and plastic." target="_blank" href="http://www.smooth-on.com">Smooth-on.com</a> products.
