CRYING GULL TOYS IS BORN!

Hey Guys, Just wanted to bring your attention to my newest baby, My Designer Toy company, Crying Gull Toys! We just released our first resin toy, Here's a little bit about that....

 That's right folks, My line of Black Metal Buddies mini-figures make their debut today with the first figure in the series, Abyss! Abyss is the frontman for the Norwegian Black Metal Band, Darkest Throne (Not to be confused with the actual band, Dark Throne) He is a resin figure hand sculpted, hand cast, hand painted by yours truly, and limited to seven pieces. He stands 2.5" tall and comes hand numbered with a signed header card I designed. Since all seven pieces are hand painted with some post production sculpt modifications here and there, no two figures are exactly alike. Special shout out to by boy Plex, of Donkey Jaw Projects for the constant support and encouragement. Figure two is currently nearing completion in the sculpting stage, stay tuned for a release date... You can get your very own Abyss figure by visiting our official store. Thanks for looking!

     happened to love it, Thanks Guys! Check out some dope music today at

MCKENZIE MCKUSTOMS PRESENTS-REB BROWN AS, CAPTAIN AMERICA!

Hey Guys, I'm back again with another custom Mego! This time around it's Captain America, as portrayed by Reb Brown in the two TV movies Marvel produced in the 70's. Cap is movie authentic with transparent shield, and motorcycle helmet! The body is from Cast-a-way Toys, plain blue bodysuit by Doc Mego, with alterations by myself, gloves are also hand made with some funky shiny pleather i had lying around. Boots are Cast-a-Way painted red, and now for the fun stuff....Caps helmet is an Evil Knievel helmet I chopped up and painted blue. His head is a vintage Hutch head i molded a cowl onto and painted. The wings on the helmet are craft foam,with prismacolor detail work, and the visor is clear plastic i cut from a soda bottle. The shield is also from a plastic bottle cut to Mego scale and adorned with decals i picked up on the Mego Museum boards. Maybe one of these days I'll get around to making h is motorcycle :) Hope you Likey! ;)
