Coolrain's latest releases and exhibition

Artist Coolrain has a new exhibition at the Wyln Gallery going on now. For those unfamiliar with Coolrain, his work in 1:6 figures has made him one of Korea's top toy artists, and for a area teeming with talent in the 1:6 field with artists such as Rainman, Bhead, many artists from Hot toys, that's really saying something. Coolrain's latest exhibition shows off some of his past works as well as some great new pieces including a few wooden styled figures of his Pithecuse toys. The wooden finish sets this piece off nicely the figure itself stands roughly 20 in. tall (though it appears there are several versions in various sizes) no word on pricing. There's more pictures of the gallery opening in the slideshow. For more info on figures please check out the wyln gallery (note the Gallery's in Korea so you may need to use a translator program).


Coolrain has recently been collaborating with Mindstlye and word is his new 18 in. NBA figures will be on display at SDCC, so keep an eye out for those. One thing I love about Coolrains style and his work (with exception to colabs like mindstyle) is that it's all hand done by him, from design to actually casting and creating the pieces, Coolrain does each step of the process at his studio making his figures truly individual little pieces of art. I only hope one day to see some of his personal work with my own two eyes.
