Woodbees Wave 2 and The Queen

After the almost instant sell out of the first wave of Woodbees, I am so happy to introduce the last 4 worker bees and their esteemed Queen! These little beauties will be on sale Thurs 17th May at 7pm London time right here!

A huge thankyou to Pepe Hiller for taking the time to create these amazing wood sculptures - the quality and the detail is simply amazing - I can't do it justice in the photographs. They are beautifully constructed and the Queen Bee and her delicate crown are out of this world. If you want to see more of Pepe's work, check this out: www.pepehiller.com

A massive thankyou to all the lovely bloggers and tweeters who are ALWAYS so supportive and help me promote my toys so well - without you guys I wouldn't be anywhere.

New release - Woodbees

I am so excited to reveal my most recent creations, a collaboration piece between myself and Pepe Hiller. The beautiful hand carved wooden bees, aptly names Woodbees, were created by Pepe in Switzerland and then shipped over to me in the UK to paint up in the Lunabee style.

There are 10 bees in total - 9 smaller worker bees ( approx 2.5 inches in length) and one large Queen bee (approx 3.5"). The worker bees will be up for $99 each and the Queen for $149.

These are the only bees that are being made - there will be no future series, it's a one off collaboration and so this is the only chance to grab one of these wooden delights.

The release is being split into two with 5 worker bees being released this Thursday the 10th May at 7pm London time on my store (http://lunabee.co.uk) and the remaining 4 worker bees and the Queen being released on Thursday the 17th May at the same time and in the same place.

The 5 being released this Thursday are shown in the photos below and are named (using the group shot) L-R :
Daisy, Totem, Noctus, Dolly and Harley

The photos of the other bees will be released next Monday. Hope you guys like them as much as I do and huge thanks to Pepe for creating these wonderful bees!

Mickey Mouse custom 'Atlantis'

I just finished this show piece for the lovely Play Imaginative and their Mickey Mouse custom showcase in Singapore.

I named him Atlantis (for obvious reasons :D ) I am always drawn to underwater themes and creatures (my favorite films include Splash and The Little Mermaid which may explain something) and I'm really happy with the way this little guy turned out and the cheeky twist of his fishing net.

More from me shortly, including details on a brand new collaboration - very exciting!

New Production Piece : Spiderboom!

I am so happy to announce that I have a new production figure coming out in the form of the super cute Spider Boom figure by Sun-Min Kim made by the awesome Toy2R.

Here's a little photo of the full series and a close up of mine inspired by my love of all things sweet and yummy, I just adore the little stack of cherries on his head ^_^

There are some fantastic ones in this series and I am particularly enamoured by Mr Scott Tolleson's little acorn fella and as always proud to be showcasing next to other UK artists like the super talented Sneaky Raccoon and Jon Paul Kaiser.

No release date as yet for these but as always I will be selling special AP Sets.

'Mr Jones' is a recent commission piece for the lovely Dave which happens to be my first 3A toy I've had the pleasure to paint. He was loads of fun to work on and I'm so happy with his underwater theme and colours. Hopefully this will pave the way for more 3A customs in the future.
