My submission for the Huck Gee Blank Show 2 at Clutter Gallery opening on July 9th. I call it "Blank:Resurrected". And yes, that's the Rotten Rex idol of resurrection around his neck. Explains a lot. He's looking for some payback, and some fresh meat... #huckgee #huckgeeblankfigure #cluttergallery #cluttergalleryhuckgeeblank2 #newyork #jamesgroman #resurrection #zombie #vinyltoy #platformtoy

One of the best purchases I've made in a long time. The amazing Mort Druckers artwork done for Mad Magazine! Mr Drucker's work is absolutely masterful....he was an absolute genius of celebrity likeness, and a true master draftsman. So glad I picked this up. We miss you Mort! #mortdrucker #madmagazine #edgaines #comics #penandink #mortdruckercomics #caracature #masterartist

Reposted from Mr Huck Gee's Instagram! The Collection returns with @jgroman60 @huckgee fresh off the Five Points Festival and their wins at The Designer Toy Awards. @markbrickey interview James about his career which spans the length of designer toys from Madballs to his most recent unveiling of Kaiju Killer. His body of work is expansive and he has taken decades of experience and used them to make toys like King Korpse that just took Designer Toy Of The Year. Huck is bringing home the trophies as well for The Blank and for his work on Gold Life with Mighty Jaxx. Part 18 of The Collection is an incredible look at where the toy industry has been and where it is about to go! @aidpodcast . #aidpodcast #thecollection #huckgee #jamesgroman #goldlife #mightyjaxx #kingkorpse #dtas #designertoyawards #fivepointsfestival #designertoys #vinyltoys #resintoys #instinct #kaijukiller #madballs #carebears #starwars #peterjackson #art #design #color #sculpting

Kaiju Killer has a new weapon!!! Great idea from @instinctoy_hiroto_ohkubo on this accessory. Kaiju Killer is going to come with a small arsenal of aggressive, way cool accessories! Finishing them up this week. #kaijukiller #sofubi #sofubitoys #instinctoys #ebirahhorrorofthedeep #monstertoys #jamesgroman #jamesgromanxinstinctoy #sculpture #toysculpture

One of the best things about a show like 5 Points Festival is when I talk to fan after fan who has been hunting for one of these high and low, and then ends up bringing one over to me to sign when they win the lottery. I love it! Something I do not like is when I see a couple KK figures pop up the next day on EBay for 3 times the price from someone who only saw it as a way to make money. That means one less person who really wanted one did not get one. That's all I got.
