This guys artwork is totally insane! I have been following his work on a few of the toy blogs for quite some time now and all I can say is I want one! I actually grabbed this photo and the text from a blog that I check on the regular, Omni-Monster!!!…If you are looking for anything and everything Kaiju, this is the site to check!

The process of how these figures are made are pretty amazing. I found this description that was taken from a quote by Mark Nagata of Max Toy Company.

“Carlos goes thru a rather hand intensive process on each figure. First each is carved in wood, than special molds are made, and from those fiberglass copies are made. [The figures that were offered at the Toy Karma show at Rotofugi in Chicago] only have 6-8 unique versions. After the raw casting is pulled, each one must be sanded down and patched up if needed. Once done each is primed for paint. Now the magic begins… very expensive auto paint with glitter in it is used to hand paint each figure. No two figures are the same… each has a subtle “fade” in it’s painting… something that no photo can pick up… much like a low rider car, these figures simply glow in the sun! Since these figures are so limited the cost is not cheap. These are not toys or even customs.. but rather fine art, think Murakami or dare I say Warhol in approach. … After each run is done the molds are destroyed and will never be released again.”

I originally found this quote on a differnt article that Omni Monster had done on Carlos. Check it out HERE!

Overall, pretty impressive! Click HERE to see the original post from Omni Monster!!!
