The continuing big NYC loot post! *UPDATED ONE MORE TIME*

Keep an eye on this particular post the rest of the week as I will be updating it every so many hours as to some of the goodies I will have at the New York Comic Con on Saturday and Sunday 2PM - 5PM at Big Kev's Geekstuff booth # E7.

Wow! Rich Page is back with part 2 of the NYC con goodness...We have a Pharaoh Hound custom this time around to match the Tuttz shown earlier.

What's this? Another surprise from The Jelly Empire? All I'll say is that it's a special Comic Con freebie for LITTLE KIDS ONLY!!! This has to be my favorite project so far...oh wait I have more on the way...



Here are the black leopard mini's and seven chase leopards and some of the rest of the Series 6 Tuttz Mini's that will be available on Saturday and Sunday.


Argonaut Resins will be hosting a uber talented visitor all the way from the UK this week during comic con - Rich Page of Ume Toys!!! Rich wasted no time and jumped right in and started cranking the goods...got another one coming too! Watch for it...


How about some Brimstone Tuttz for Halloween?

Or how about some assorted JellyBots from The Jelly Empire? Got some DIY goodness in there!
Next up is the BubbleBum Tuttz regular sized and Minis plus the LAST TWO vinyl bag packages that were custom hand made by Obed Board Bags. I will be selling these last two bags separate and they will go for $40 each. The two Bubblegum Regulars will be $55 each and the Mini's will go for $30 each.

Dynamic Duo!

Okay! Here we go...It's time to start posting about what I will have at the New York Comic Con Oct. 13- 16th at the Big Kev GeekStuff booth # E7. I will be there Saturday and Sunday from 2 - 5PM sharing the table with The Jelly Empire. Unfortunately Selina Briggs won't be in attendance due to some unforeseen circumstances but we are working on a way to video conference her in and we will have Pete Michaud stand in for her at the booth. So...what have I got for you? How about the chases for the Tuttz and Jellybot crossover sets!!! Selina and I are doing 12 sets and what you see below are the 3 Dynamic Duo chase figure sets painted by Selina exclusively for the con. The other nine sets will be mostly clear tints with another chase suprise I will reveal later. The regular sets will go for $40 each and the uber custom chases will go for $50 per set.

Stay tuned because I have a lot more updates for the NYC con on the way. Notice the Argo banner up top? What's that all about??? Watch that too for even more goodies...

More action figures...?

I've always loved action figures since I was a child and having a chance to actually make them early on in my pro sculpting career was a blessing. At one point I didn't want to sculpt them anymore due to the mainstream lines that were coming out became over saturated (and still are...) and I have to say - the plug and play Glyos figures produced by Matt Doughty and his crew have sparked things back up for me in a big way. Being able to add my spin on Matt's figures has been big fun and I've become a huge fan of the Glyos lines. Thanks Matt!!!

So...here are some newer teaser images of the second half of the Glyos Tuttz project I'm collaborating on with Matt Doughty of Onell Design. This second part of the project will feature the return of the Kings Of Atlantis in Glyos form action figures! Ha! You thought the Kings of Atlantis were all done and gone right? Not so fast...I've resculpted the infamous crystal skull head theme to fit onto the Glyos action figure bodies! I will also finally reveal all of the Kings powers with this release. As with the Tuttz Glyos we teased earlier the talented Victor Durango will be handling the paint work. As we near completion on this project everything will be fully revealed by Matt Doughty with all images of assortments and pricing.

You probably wouldn't have thought the Kings could share the same timeline with the Tuttz but the do now. What's all this about a war? Big fight? Everybody loves a big fight so I'll tell you the story...Once upon a time...

The Tuttz are looking for a ancient relic that was taken from their home world a very long time ago. They have finally found the location of a world they believe to hold their relic but it is inhabited by a race of beings older and more powerful than them. The Kings of Atlantis have settled on this hidden planet for thousands of years after plundering many galaxies of their riches. Everyone who has come to the Kings of Atlantis's planet in search of the Universes greatest treasures have all perished. The Tuttz Bad Luck Squadron will have their might tested trying to recover their ancient relic on this hostile world hidden deep within the outer regions of space....
On a alien world - there will be war!

Helping my friends....

Want a Acid Trip Tuttz Mini?


My good friends Matt and Big Kev over at Big Kev's GeekStuff had all of their show recording equipment stolen recently and have called on the art community to help raise up some cash by auctioning off some works of art. So I whipped up a uber cool multicolored cast one of a kind Tuttz Mini for the cause and you can get a shot owning it HERE at this auction today. The Mini is cast in these colors and the only paint on it is on the nose and eyes. You can see all the other items up for auction and the Acid Trip Mini Tuttz right HERE!

Big changes coming up...

Argonaut Resins is moving! I'm currently in the process of prepping a new location for the current studio and it's in a much bigger and better looking space this month.

On another note - how about a little NYC con project update too? Looks like there will be some turquoise colored resins at the NYC con....I have a few more other colors painted up I'll post up later in the week if I don't get too busy.

I'm also moving along on the EL DIABLO Mini sculpt - detailing up next!

Onyx and Pearl...

I finally got around to casting and painting up a few of the all new 8 inch Pharaoh Hounds with the first two colorways - Onyx and Pearl white with some gold trim. I thought it would be cool to make a set of matching Tuttz to go with them. I will have more colorways popping up in the next few weeks before the big NYC con in Oct. so keep and on the blog for updates.

And on another note - here's a updated pic of Robbie Busch's EL DIABLO mini I'm working on now in the wax stage. Details will be roughed in next!

The Jared Deal modified Vladimir sculpt update will be coming up next!

El Diablo mini...? Vlad's back?

Yup, that is correct! How about another secret project reveal and a surprise on top of that!
Well, more like a teaser to be honest. I've reteamed with the incredibly talented Robbie Busch for another round of EL DIABLO resin figure madness. We had a lot of success with Robbie's EL DIABLO resin not too long ago and now we're back with a all new figure in progress and it's a - MINI!!! This new little guy will top off at 3.5 inches and we're hoping to have him ready for the big New York Comic con in Oct. this year (fingers crossed!)...

And while we're at it how about another round of "How We Do It" - sculpting the resin toy - with some behind the scenes work in progress pics of the EL DIABLO Mini.

Oh - before I forget...did I mention the Jared Deal's Vladimir happy bat resin (pictured below is the old version) will be showing up at the NYC con as well? How about a slightly different version than the first release? Return of the Mac...watch for it!
If you haven't seen the earlier EL DIABLO and VLAD releases (all sold out!) you can see everything on them in the back pages of this blog from the beginning or trusty Google...just sayin...

Action figures..?

My apologies for the lack of posts lately as things have been a tad hectic with the big New York Comic Con on it's way. I've also been trying to relocate the studio to a bigger space because I've run out of room with all the current projects in the works. The good news is my Tuttz character has crossed over with Onell Designs Glyos system. A good friend of mine (and uber toy guru) Rob Losito introduced me to master toy maker Matt Doughty at last years NYC con and suggested we work together on something Glyos related. I fell in love with the popular little articulated mix and match Glyos figures that Matt produced and wanted to get in on the action. Rob suggested the mini Tuttz would be a really cool crossover project and Matt was gracious enough to bless us on this endeavor and send over some Glyos parts to get the project under way. Seeing that this project was going to be a ton of work I brought in Victor Durango to help get the body styles right and do all the intricate paintwork. I also brought in The One Cam and When Giants Meet to do the dynamic and exciting photography. What you see below is just the tip of the iceberg on what we have planned for this Tuttz Glyos project called the Bad Luck Squadron so stay tuned! Tough black cats that get sent on the most dangerous missions and always come back! Bad luck for whomever runs into them...
The Leader...
The Warlord...The Minions..

I will be at the New York Comic Con with all sorts of goodies and I will be posting updates on all of those upcoming projects soon. Tuttz Mini's Series 1 - 5 have all sold out! Thank you for you continual support and there are lots more exciting resin projects on the way...
