Krotpong Family Treehouse

Hello! Today is a special day for me. So special that I’ve put together a 5 hour DJ mix up here at any of these links. It took me about two weeks to source the high quality/rare tracks. 723.9 MB zipped file, 95 tracks, all painstakingly arranged according to my inner weirdo. If anyone wonders what my favorite song is, as of 5/29/2017, it’s this one.

It’s a very large file, expect it to take a minute.

This is about M1Go’s DaDa figure from Ultraman. I have painted a run of these Japanese soft vinyl figures with an eye toward costume accuracy, released for the first time ever in this colorway (pretty sure, anyway). These take hours to mask off and paint.

This is a blind box release. You don’t get to choose the contents. I won’t know which figure I’m shipping to you. Each of these figures is a one off. There are three glow in the dark figures, and two that are on peach colored vinyl. One of them is a secret chase.

If you would like to purchase a DaDa figure painted within an inch of its life, go to this link on 5/1/2016 at 12 noon CST.

For more information on this character, please continue reading.

DaDa is a strange-looking monster from the Ultraman series. He’s ultra creepy with his changing size and faces, disappearing and re-appearing all over the place, menacing the stupid, curious humans who are inevitably drawn to its secret, trap-covered lair. (The only reason Science Patrol even found the place was because they encountered the traps. If DaDa had shown a little more restraint perhaps we’d be up to our eyeballs in DaDas by now.)

Here is the incredibly dry summary from the Ultraman Wiki:

“Dada (ダダ) are aliens that attacked Earth and started abducting humans to advance some form of research. The original agent, Agent #271, was killed by Ultraman. The only other Dada to attack Earth was a computer Virus bearing the same name. The members of this race are referred to by their registration number and class, rather then possessing given names.”

“Subtitle: Three Faces Phantom (三面怪人 Sanmen Kaijin)”

Like many Ultraman villains, DaDa is good at scaring scientists, but really bad at everything else. DaDa has no game when it comes to hand-to-hand combat. It spends a lot of time scooting its butt in the dirt. Overall, it’s a pretty shameful display. Don’t take my word for it, watch it right here.

Perhaps it’s DaDa’s giant bucket head that throws it off balance.

At any rate, M1Go (M-ichi-go) made some soft vinyl DaDa figures back in the day. While there are really nicely painted versions of them, these particular figures have never been painted to look like the actual character before. Since 1996 at least, according to the foot stamp. I’m sure the reason for this is that they’re a huge pain in the ass to paint that way. How do I know? Because I have painted six of them that way, so trust me when I say it’s a huge pain in the ass.

They look damned good though.

This one has a triple face!

Looking forward to sending these little dudes out into the world!

In the spirit of renewal, here are some nasty chunks of deep sky blue vinyl all fresh and clean. Paint them yourself, or don’t! Kanzler Sägrid Arschloch is, as always, an enormous beast. Just a hair shy of 15″ inches (38 cm). Homunculords are small and grotesque. You get 6 figures for one money.

All you have to do is this; Send your name, mailing address,  and paypal address to;

kanzlerarschloch@gmail.com

$130 plus $20 shipping gets you a Kanzler and all five Homunculords in beautiful blue soft vinyl. There will be a few chase colors as well (glow, green glow). If there are more orders than Kanzlers it goes to lottery sales. Application period ends on March 21st. Invoices go out on the 24th of March. International orders are welcome, but shipping will be $50.

Happy Spring!

Just for scale. That is a 12 ounce can of delicious beer.

Look for us and our magical trunks of wonder in Pasadena, California for the next few days. This will be my first convention as a merchant in almost 30 years. I’m willing to bet that I still have what it takes.

If you find yourself at Designer Con, I will be at booth # 1028, with Kanzlers, Homunculords,  Krampuses, posters, buttons, stickers, and custom painted M1Go figures.  My my, we’re bringing a lot of stuff.

If you want to read the Homunculord story thus-far, the link is here. Eventually this will be a full fledged, giant-sized comic book. But for now, this is what I’ve got.

Here’s a preview of the Krotpong Industries toy lineup.

This be the Kanzler.

These are the kinkeshi colored vinyl Homunculords.

And these are the glow in the dark vinyl Homunculords.

I’ll put up all the other photos when I get back !
