Bigshot Exclusive Black & Gold Dalek Space Monkey Drops Friday 3pm EST

BUY IT HERE: https://bigshottoyshop.com/

The Space Monkey is a classic and iconic character created by James "Dalek" Marshall. Appearing frequently throughout Dalek's oeuvre starting in his graff in 1995, the Space Monkey has evolved over the years to become one of the most recognizable characters in the scene. The Space Monkey is a representation of humanity and its ever changing relationship to itself and its evolving world. We are huge fans of Dalek's artwork, so it was a true treat to work on the Space Monkey in all its wacky, colorful goodness.

The 3DRetro Space Monkeys were designed, sculpted and produced by Bigshot Toyworks. They stand 6.25" tall and are made of vinyl. Each colorway includes a mallet and a knife accessory, packed safely into an inner tray inside an art box adorned with Dalek artwork. Articulation includes shoulders, waist and a super posable ball jointed neck.

Each colorway is $100, and each is limited to 100 pieces, with only 80 per colorway made available online as the shop exclusive releases.

The Bigshot Black & Gold Space Monkey drops at 3PM EST on June 17th at bigshottoyshop.com

Backstory: Hellboy is one of my favourite comic book heroes, he is the perfect balance between the light and the dark and a perfect analogy of keeping the darkness within at bay. Naturally it was only a matter of time before I made a Hellboy themed Grum Reapur toy and now is the time.

Sculpted using a polyurethane base and carved into to create the depth of the cracks similar to the ones found on Hellboys Right hand of Doom, with additional layers of epoxy clay added to create the rocky texture surrounding the cracks.

Following the sculpting phase was a series of paint days, where I added the signature red and added layers of inkwash for the outcome you see displayed here.

The Hellboy Grums on offer are PU copies of the original sculpt with the original sculpt being available via Stormy Vault in NYC as it was featured in their Evil vs Superhero toy show.

This Grum is:

Handcast

Polyurethane Resin - 350g (12.3oz)

Each Grum is handcrafted carefully and lovingly made to the highest of standards in the highest quality materials.This is a collectors item for ages 14 and up.

Please note these are made to order and will ship in 15-20 business days, this allows for the materials to cure properly.

Jeremiah the Innocent Frog Vinyl Sculpture!!

Hi, How Are You Edition.

Clutter is excited to have teamed up with Daniel Johnston's estate to bring you an epic new collaboration!

Breathing new life into Jeremiah the Innocent Frog, Clutter has re-sculpted and re-imagined this popular character in vinyl, adding elements such as the Twig (or Sprout) of Hope to keep the figure as true to the art as possible.

Jeremiah was released through Art Arms LTD as a vinyl toy in 2008, and is one of the most sought-after pieces of the late Johnston's iconic mythology. Long sold-out, collectors search high and low to get this desirable collectible item.

Jeremiah the Innocent Frog is one of Daniel Johnston's most legendary characters. Most recognized on the cover of his sixth self-released cassette, "Hi, How Are You, The Unfinished Album", recorded in September of 1983. This licensed collaboration between the Daniel Johnston Group and Clutter features the quintessential album art on the back of the sculpture.

"And I saw you at the funeral,
you were standing there like a temple

I said, "Hi, how are you? hello"

And I pulled up a casket and crawled in "

- Daniel Johnston, from the song Grievances, on the cassette Song of Pain.

Destined to be a must-have for collectors of all things Daniel Johnston, this Hi, How Are You Edition stands at 9.5” tall (on the base) and 10” wide.

The Hi, How Are You Edition will be available in-app on NTWRK, and online at Clutter next

About Daniel Johnston:

Daniel Dale Johnston (January 22, 1961 – September 11, 2019) was an American singer-songwriter and visual artist regarded as a significant figure in outsider, lo-fi, and alternative music scenes. Most of his work consisted of cassettes recorded alone in his home, and his music was frequently cited for its "pure" and "childlike" qualities.

Johnston spent extended periods in psychiatric institutions and was diagnosed with bipolar disorder. He garnered a local following in the 1980s by passing out tapes of his music while working at a McDonald's in Dobie Center in Austin, Texas. His cult status was propelled when Nirvana's Kurt Cobain was seen wearing a T-shirt that featured artwork from Johnston's 1983 cassette album Hi, How Are You.

Beyond music, Johnston was accomplished as a visual artist, with his illustrations exhibited at various galleries around the world. His struggles with mental illness were the subject of the 2005 documentary The Devil and Daniel Johnston. He died in 2019, of a suspected heart attack.
