Hello, Friends & Colleagues! It's been a while since our last update...we've just been so busy with projects we haven't had a moment to stop and gab about them!   First off, Bigshot Toyworks will be in attendance at this year's San Diego Comic Con! We will be available to meet and discuss future projects...if you'd like to schedule a time, please contact us!   Steve Brown - Marketing & Promotions Director steve@bigshottoyworks.com 216-367-2974 We've got several new pieces releasing this Fall with some amazing creative partners. The second and final colorway of the "Misfortunate Travelers" resin statue, designed by Chris Ryniak and Jonathan Bergeron, will be available soon along with the "Scary Girl" statue designed by Nathan Jurevicius. These two pieces are geared more towards fine art collectors, and have turned out beautifully! Both statues will be available for wholesale through DKE Toys, and will be on display at San Diego Comic Con at their booth, #4732.

Coming soon is the first release of "The Seeker", a 12" vinyl figure based on a character created by noted pop surrealist artist & illustrator, Jeff Soto. The Seeker will be available in several variants, each with a different paint scheme and horn design. Featuring original box art by Jeff Soto and with the "Ghost Seeker" (bottom image) variant scheduled to be released at 2010 San Diego Comic Con through Hi-Fructose Magazine (Booth#4939), The Seeker is one of the most highly anticipated designer art toys of the year!

The Uncle Six Eyes statue by Travis Louie has changed course and will be released as a 10" bust instead of a full-body figure. The final production prototype will be available to view at San Diego Comic Con, also at the Hi-Fructose Magazine booth, #4939.

We're also incredibly excited to announce two more resin projects, both of which will be available for viewing at San Diego Comic Con. We've just completed the sculpt for a new bust based on Mike Mignola's "Skeleton Head" character, with an estimated launch date of Winter 2010. The prototype will be available for viewing at Mignola's booth, #4901.

We'll also be showing, again at the Hi-Fructose booth, the prototype of a new statue, commissioned by Circa Survive and based on the painting by Esao Andrews used for their album, "Blue Sky Noise". The statue will be available directly from the band, and further details will be announced as they have been finalized.

The "Salty" character we developed for Knorr has really taken off, with a tremendously positive public response spurring Knorr to create more commercials with the character! The Salty & Pepper shaker sets we designed and produced were also well-recieved, with multiple production runs selling out almost instantly! Facebook groups have sprung up, and we've even found pictures online of people who have created Salty costumes for themselves!

We're also incredibly pleased to announce that All City Style Trains will be available again soon! With new distribution in Europe, expect to see ACS hitting shelves again within the next month! As always, we've been incredibly busy with design & development projects for clients such as DDB Canada, Young & Rubicam Brands, Reckless Toys, Ogilvy & Mather, DC Direct, Sony, Nike, and many more! As Bigshot Toyworks continues to grow, we continue to add team members from around the world to enhance our ability to deliver the absolute best quality toy & character design in the world.
