Fiberglass Eyezons from Killer Kaiju

What is this, the Mark Nagata blog??? The dude is unstoppable right now. We first got a preview of these fiberglass Eyezons at Kaiju Invades San Francisco. Another great collaboration between Mark Nagata and Matt Walker has resulted in ten 28″  hand-painted fiberglass Eyezons. This limited edition was created to coincide with the publication of the new book KILLER KAIJU MONSTERS by Ivan Vartanian. I saw the book briefly with my own eye(zon)s, and it looked interesting, though the initial reviews on Amazon are unfortunately lukewarm

Anyway, I’ve got nothing but love for the fiberglass Eyezons. If you’ve got love + $1,400 + shipping, you are encouraged to send your inquiry to monster [at] killerkaiju [dot] com and indicate  your first, second, and third choices of color schemes. P.S. I lazily ganked the picture above from SpankyStokes here! Thanx Spanx!

Kaiju Invades San Francisco

Kaiju invaded San Francisco last weekend and set up shop in North Beach at Double Punch’s upstairs gallery. Some might say that the Bay Area is already a pretty monster-friendly place, and Mark Nagata whose Max Toy Co is locally operated would agree. Mark was joined by Massachusetts-based invader Matt Walker of Dead Presidents and duel Japanese raiders, Ichimiya-san from SUNGUTS and Yajima-san from Dream Rocket. Together, the talented and wacky quartet filled the small space with brilliant colors, copious customs…and not a single Dunny in sight. All unsold work from the show will make its way to Ningyoushi. Hit the jump for closeups and commentary.

DEAD PRESIDENTS

Matt Walker brought a host of figures that showcase subtle differences in color and tonality. By applying specialty automotive paints and his signature pinstriping techniques, he transformed some of Mark’s Max Toy Co figures, Eyezon, Boy Karma, TriPus, Balbagon, Drazoran and a few rows of RealxHead pieces. The painted and pinstriped Boy Karmas are available in a small edition. Before the show, Matt did a pinstriping demo, which owing to rain and abysmal parking in North Beach, we regrettably missed. That said, I was luckily able to scoop up his Suiko collab with SUNGUTS…
