Dwid Hellion x Monster Worship – Thee Black Heksen @ NYCC
In looking at Monster Worship’s NYCC releases, Thee Black Heksen – a collabo figure created with Dwid Hellion, lead man of the hardcore metal band Integrity. This complex figure (8 points of articulation, 7”) has an appealing dark fantasy aesthetic. The sculpt looks strong from the head to the limbs including the asymmetric legs. Heksen is armed with a dagger and staff (not show in final colors). The Black Heksen as well as the other MW releases will be available at the Onell Design booth (#3216) at day/time slot to be announced.
Monster Worship – NYCC Mini Greasebat
Say whaaat? Monster Worship has just revealed this little guy to be a Mini Greasebat figure (4”, in unpainted black vinyl) by Jeff Lamm. They also mention NYCC, but we are not sure if it will be releasing or just debuting. We hope to hear some more info on this, This one will be released at NYCC during Monster Worship’s as yet unannounced timeslot at the Onell Design Booth (#3216) during NYCC. We are sure the G.A.S. members must be freaking out! MW has just posted their official ‘con page detailing their numerous releases.
Ron English x Dudebox – King Monster Dude @ NYCC
Dudebox has revealed their mystery fourth Dude release for NYCC. From the gifted and dinosaur-fascinated mind of Ron English comes the King Monster Dude. The dynamic design depicting the birth of a future King Monster, features a gritty black + white design with a splash of red. While not specifically mentioned, the shape of the box suggests that King Monster is a large 7.5” dude rather than a smaller mini. King Monster will be released on Thursday October 11th from the Dudebox booth (#2915) and through their online stores [UK / USA]. Ron will be signing at the booth twice – Friday (10.12) from 4 to 5 PM and Saturday (10.13) from 2 to 3 PM.
Finally, as part of the roll-out promo, Dudebox TV has posted a two-part video interview with Ron. Focusing on the potential of the Dude platform toy, the 2nd part features a tantalizing shot of the artist next to a giant robo-style Dude figure. Which means we should probably be expecting at least one more giant Dudebox custom in addition to the one Attaboy is customizing for DesignerCon). Very interesting.
Nathan Hamill’s Strife & Sire Debut Release @ NYCC
Tenacious Toys will release the debut edition of Nathan Hamill’s Strife & Sire vinyl (3DRetro) at NYCC.

Limited to 150 pieces, this first edition features a Blue strife sitting atop mostly gray sire (7” total). Having had the opportunity to the figures in person at SDCC, we’re pretty confident in saying this is Nathan’s strongest vinyl release so far.
