The Saga Continues...

Happy to report that we set the worlds butthole on fire with our entry into Clutter Magazine’s Inaction Figure 3 exhibition. The Inaction Figure shows are a virtual who’s-who of the current crop of resin bootleggers, and having a piece on display has been a Scraped Resin dream since the first show happened. The bottle of Tapatio on my grandma's table is one of my earliest memories, and it’s fair to say that sombrero-clad gentleman on the label has been stuck in the wallpaper of my brain ever since. Packed with an actual packet of Tapatio hot sauce, all 6 of these 3.75” little charmers sold out instantly. Huge thanks to Josh Kimberg over at Clutter, who is a man who knows how to take care of a problem, hehehe. I’m going to get those AP editions out to you soon, man!

The hits just kept coming, as I had the great fortune to get to collaborate with America’s favorite lucha ambassadors, Masked Republic, on our first fully sanctioned action figure based off the lucha libre legend Solar. These were really fun to put together, and allowed me to bust out a few tricks I’d been wanting to try out, including magnetic leg articulation, and a head shrunk down using Hydroshrink. I also got a chance to collaborate with my favorite pro-wrestling illustrator Adam Ratliff on the packaging, who did an amazing job of rendering Solar in the style of a vintage Kinnikuman packaging. Kevin Klienrock of Masked Republic invited us to the lucha libre art extravaganza La Bulla in Los Angeles, where we got to rub shoulders with some of LA’s most hardcore artists and show off the resin goods. This definitely won’t be the last time you see a SCRAPED RESIN x MASKED REPUBLIC collaboration, so stay tuned!

We’ve seen two more entries into the HOODSLAM Gram Slammer series: Bat Manuel and Drugz Bunny, including the addition of magnetic articulation and Golden Gig variants. The live HOODSLAM shows are a whiskey-soaked combination of high-octane metal, Sega-inspired psychopaths, and death-defying violence, and if you haven’t made the trip to Oakland yet, you are missing out on a truly inspired spectacle (not to mention the exclusive resin)!

This style of 6” lucha busts were all the rage in the 90’s, being sold at wrestling shows in Mexico. I’d been trying to track down a clean one for a while and finally scored the guy in the center last year. Bootlegging ensued. We’ve since dropped a series of painted busts with pop culture makeovers, as well as a few blank bust options for you paintbrush-wielding geniuses out there.

I can assure you that the lack of updates here just means I’m having trouble tearing myself away from the pressure pot, as there are definitely a few ambitious projects on the horizon. My honest attempt to infiltrate the Sacramento art scene is on deck, and I have a couple 90’s tributes already kitbashed that I’m stoked to get molded up soon. Buy something! And until next time, keep on scraping!

Resin City Ransom


I'll be headed down to Pasadena this weekend for DesignerCon 2014, no matter how many street gangs I have to fight my way through.  I'll be bringing a thirst for culture, a pocketful of dank, and the latest bootleg offering from Scraped Resin!  An action figure tribute to the greatest NES beat-em-up of all time, Alex features 3 points of magnetic articulation and comes packaged in a resealable card. 

In scale with your favorite 90's toy lines, this 4" brawler is only available at the Galactic Jerkbags booth #1228, this DesignerCon for $50. I'll be signing at the GJG booth from 11am - noon on both days of the convention, so stop on by and smash a trash can against my face!


Any unsold Alex's will end up in the Scraped Resin store for those who can't make it down to DCON, so don't spend all your money at Hack's Chicken Shack!  See ya in Pasadena!

Pagoda is coming...


For the road warriors of the apocalypse, wandering through the fallout for gasoline and weapons, there are worse things than death. Run while you can. Survive if he lets you. The walking disaster! The war king of the wastelands! All hail… Pagoda!


This was my personal challenge to come up with a 3 3/4" figure that I would have wanted as a child, which allowed me to pull from a bunch of vintage figure parts I had been eyeballing since entering the resin hustle. Kitbashed from more than 7 different toys, this war king of the wastelands is my interpretation of a Lord Humungous meets the Cenobites type of brute that oozes radiation and violence.


I'm finalizing an arrangement that will put Pagoda into one of my favorite toy stores, and I'm really excited to be branching out like this. More details as soon as humanly possible, but keep an eye on my Instagram feed for new Pagoda variants.

"Dude, that goalie was pissed about something."


From the abandoned GUTS series “Cartel Enforcers” comes Sgt. Stab! This bootleg mashup will be thrown into all new orders, while supplies last!


What better way to get a Sgt. Stab than order the new Jason Voorhees bootleg. A holiday 1 off based off the upcoming Pagdoa figure, featuring articulated arms, Worms helmet hockey mask and Friday the 13th cardback!

Neon-Zero: Time Bastard!


In the last days of 1989, The Ultimate Warrior assembled a Survivor Series team that would be able to match the might of Andre the Giant's army and lead pro wrestling into the glorious 90's. The Rockers were an obvious choice due to their tiger-striped bandanas and double-drop kick, and the trio searched the globe for a fourth member that would give them the edge over Andre's forces. They found Neon-Zero, Mexico's greatest champion, and promptly asked him to join the team, due to his unmatched brutality and conveniently matching slime green ring gear.


Sensing they had an edge with their new team mate, Andre opened his time portal and ambushed Neon-Zero, tossing him into the unknown future. Now in 2014, Neon-Zero fights to return to his own time to ensure he isn't erased from history. Will he get his revenge on Andre the Giant, or will he need to be replaced by a hungover Jim Niedhart?


...but what if Neon-Zero never made it to 2014?

Trapped within a spiraling time warp, a ghostly Neon-Zero travels through various time periods, battling dinosaurs and robo-Nazi's, desperately hoping he eventually finds the right portal back to 1989. Will he get his revenge on Andre the Giant, or will he completely fade way, forever lost in time.


...but What If?!?

Before Andre could toss Neon Zero through the time portal, a warrior from the future barreled through from the other side! Sporting a glowing eye and giant metal arm, he claimed to be the ultimate hero from the 90's. Seeing an even better oppurtunity, the Ultimate Warrior asked this post-apocalyptic mutant to join their team, changing the course of pro-wrestling...forever!


One of the most highly sought after one-offs is back, with a new set of arms and a fully fleshed out backstory! Featuring magnetically articulated arms and a removable helmet, this 3.5" resin figure comes bagged with a header that reflects the timeline they are from. Featuring an edition of 6, with two styles of chase figure, including Son of Cyclops, who comes fully painted with a bonus resin head. Available in the Scraped Resin store this Friday, June 6.
