Alright! Here's the finished cardbacks for the limited deluxe edition of our new Sky Pirate action figures.

The figure in the bubble is a partially painted test-shot, with some issues that will get resolved tomorrow.

This will be a limited run, with a canvas cardback and a reseelable bubble. They'll be hand numbered, and first come first served at #AssemblyRequired \\ #AssemblyRequiredAsheville this weekend.

There will be another limited run in an alternate colorway towards the end of Feb, followed by the less limited run in March.

Let me know if you want to get on the list.

A small action figure in a clamshell. It's a sky pirate. It's on a black and white cardback with a picture of a sky pirate standing on the bridge of a ship, with another air ship in the background.

on the bottom left corner, it says "The Mysterious Air Pirates" and "Mountain Town Toys" — A small action figure in a clamshell. It's a sky pirate.

@cthululemon thank you! It is mostly a collage, with some original embellishments.

There's also our new mini-Spacehawk playset!

Features a Glow-In-the-Dark mini-spacehawk, a tie-dye evil robot, and two pieces of multi-color lunar terrain.

Supplies are limited, but I'll have at least 5 or 6 at Assembly Required in #asheville this weekend!

A swirly, multicolored water-heater style robot, a glow-in-the-dark spaceman, and two pieces of lunar terrain. They're all toys. It's hard to say from the photo how big they are, but I can say because I made them. The spaceman is about 50mm tall, and the robot about 60mm, and the lunar craters are roughly 100mm wide.

@jpk Thanks! I went back through today and gave the lunar terrain some UV reactive paint.

I've also got new packaging to Expedition Sasquatch!

I'll have those this weekend as well!

They're also available as roms on my itch site.

Jupiter's Ghost and Expedition Sasquatch boxes. They're cassette tape boxes, but have been refitted to house gameboy cartridges.

So yeah, if you can make it out to Asheville this weekend, come see us at the Designer Art Toy Show.

There will be a few dozen other artists, all showcasing art made entirely outside the corporate system.

These are toys made without the influence of corporations, by real people, in an act of defiance and revolutionary joy.

There's a lot of bad in the world right now, but this is one way for us to find some good.

Working on packaging for our new playsets.

Spacehawk and an Evil Robot plus some lunar terrain in a TV shaped windowbox.

Decided the playsets would be better with a little UV reactive paint so ...

Lots of space craters, glowing in worrying colors under a UV light.

More of the same. Paint is strewn across the table, it also glows as if nuclear.

Did a batch of our Rock Creek Creature in glow in the dark peach.

It looks kind of yellow-y under a normal light, and then glows in the dark!

It also florescence under a black light, but I had to take a video to show that.

(and we made a smaller version, so now there's a big guy and a little guy!)

The first issue of my Sky Pirate magazine is also available on itch now, in addition to being available in print from my website.

I might make it available in other places when the third volume comes out. If everything goes to plan, that will be the end of the first arc of the story.
