Toy Art Gallery reveals a plethora of prototypes at DCon!

Toy Art Gallery had a Detolf worth of prototypes and test paints on display, which was stunning to see. Alongside the previously announced “Popaganda Carousel Critters” by Ron English are a Beavis & Butthead inspired figure and a psychodelic Charlie Brown piece, both of which could be by English as well, as I believe — for no obvious reason — is the chicken t-rex on the next level down. Next to the strange hybrid dinosaur is a masterfully monstrous piece that resembles the work of Sam Flores, especially with the hands similar to “Kid Dragon.” Then are first paint samples of doubleparlour’s “Merryner” figures, Lurk’s “Lurkfoot,” several versions of DeathCat Toys’s “Akuma Neko,” and Splurrt’s “Broken Bones!” Wow, lots of soft vinyl goodness to look forward to…
