Larvopus

I founded PLASEEBO in 2005 as a shop dedicated to creating unique one of a kind collectible figures and designing original figures for Ultra Limited editions. I have often thought of toys as small sculpture. They are miniature interpretations of things that are unattainable in the "real" world. They enable a child to become General Patton directing the Third Army of die cast Dinky tanks through the dirt in his own back yard or allow an adult to time travel back to that moment in the back yard of his memory. This spurring of the imagination is certainly the stuff of Art. I call the way I build my figures "Frankensculpt", because they are cobbled together from unrelated parts in a sculpting process which breathes a new life into them.

Post apocalyptic movies, vintage horror comics, and bootleg toys dug from the bottom shelf at your local discount shop come together in a cacophonous amalgamation of glowing vinyl and neon paint. Starting with Bechigon, Egg of the Apocalypse, carrying on with Larvagon, Larva of Vengeance and now with the introduction of the terrifying Ghouls; the Velocitron line chronicles the future history of the Earth. With human civilization ravaged by psychic warfare, terrors from the stars clash with shadows from mankind’s darkest fears in the rubble of what was once our world. But still, the remnants of humanity continue to rage against the dying of the light and many still vow that they will not allow the world to die a quiet death. Even though the Earth may be finished, the world of Velocitron has only just begun and the future promises to bring even more squamous terrors from the void! Velocitron is also committed to bringing some of the greatest unrecognized monsters and creatures from other media into vinyl. Don’t be surprised if there are
