O_Negative's custom DESTROYER's for charity revealed!!!

I set out to design a character I had been thinking about for a while. I had the opportunity to bring it to life through Eric Nocella Diaz and Argonaut Resins. With Eric's help The DESTROYER was tweaked and born! As an artist I'm still growing and I knew that I wouldn't have the talent needed to paint up to 30 pieces by myself. I have been fortunate to meet and know many artists, some professional some just really good. I reached out to them and asked if they would help with the DESTROYER project with the understanding that I was going to donate a good portion through a program I had watched on TV called Operation Smile (http://www.operationsmile.org/). The participants all said they would forgo being paid because of that. I want to thank all of the artists for helping me to see my project to fruition. I also want to thank my good friends at Action Figure Times for getting the word out on the project. Most of all I want to thank Eric Nocella Diaz and all these amazing artists for giving me this chance to see my idea come to reality.
All of these customs are one of a kind and are much cooler in person than the pictures show. I hope we sell them all so that I can provide smiles to some children who wouldn't have the chance.

Thanks!

Merry Christmas!

I just wanted to take a moment to thank all who have supported Argonaut Resins on it's maiden voyage this year. We did reach some of our goals and missed a few others on our roller coaster ride of ups and downs but it was well worth it. Hopefully next year you will see some bigger and better things from us and we hope you all stick around and take another exciting journey with us. Remember, with us - the sky's the limit...
THANKS and have a very Merry Christmas!!!
