The new miniatures line made a surprise debut today with the release of Pepper. From left to right: Max, Skipper, and Jeffrey. The first batch of the gold sold out, but there are more coming to the shop soon! Thanks again to everyone for purchasing toys today – keep your eyes peeled for more surprises!
After months of work and preparation, Pepper is finally here! This guy stands over 9 inches tall and is the largest Brute figure to date. The first edition will be limited to only 5 and will be available on March 1 at 12pm pacific time for $175.
First off, thanks to everyone that made Sookie La La’s release a success! The pieces are in the works and will be shipping in the next 3 weeks or so. Keep an eye out here for updates.
Up next are some mini figures that stand around 3″ tall. I’ll be doing some customs and releasing some unpainted versions as well possibly. Above is a look at the sculpt for Skipper. More photos and details to follow!
Sookie La La is finished and almost ready for orders. He will be an edition of 15 sold by pre-order here. You can choose between a lavender or blue hoodie. The newsletter will be going out later today or tomorrow with full details, including images of the last of the Charlie toys that will be available at the same time.
Charlie (now sold out) was printed in issue 19 of Acclaim Magazine! Thanks to Three at Gold Coin for sending me the scan!
Check out the sculpt for my new toy Sookie La La which is about to be molded. I haven’t 100% figured out the release details, but if the molding goes well, he will be available by the end of the month. Though he’s been through quite an evolution, Mr. La La was the first character I developed under Hello, Brute back in 2005. He was made into a few different plush forms in 2006, and now he’s making his debut in resin. Keep your eyes peeled for more details in the next week.
Hi everyone, I hope you guys had a great holiday. I am back in the studio full-time now. Since I’ve been away, I’ve confirmed my next solo show which will be at Rotofugi in Chicago. It opens on April 9th (2010). As always I will keep you guys up to date. There are new toy releases in the works, and the second wave of Charlie figures will be available this month for those of you that missed out on the first go.
I’m finishing the remainder of the outstanding orders, so thank you for your patience if you’re waiting on a package from Hello, Brute.
There’s a lot in the books for 2010, so be sure to keep checking in for surprises. You guys are the best! Take care.
xoxo,
Jon Knox
My custom Hoophy, a collaboration with Shin Tanaka, is revealed today! It’s a paper toy that you can print at home and assemble yourself. Other artists for Hoophy include David Flores, Superdeux, David Horvath (Uglydolls), Skwak, Jon Burgerman, and Travis Lampe. Many thanks to Shin to inviting me to participate in this awesome series!
As of now, Charlie is almost sold out and I wanted to thank everyone from the bottom of my heart for your support – the bloggers, re-tweeters, and especially the collectors. I can never say it enough — THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! I have new stuff lined up for 2010 and am looking forward to an exciting year!
Love,
Jon Knox
