David Ten aka DeeTen shares with us his latest custom, "New Alexandrian Scout, circa 1886". The base vinyl figure was a 6" Kidrobot mascot, and now the piece is comprised of wood, metal, clay, and vinyl, and stands 14.5" tall. This piece will be available at deeten.storenvy.com for US$300. DeeTen has been nominated for "Best Customizer" for the 2013 Edition of "Designer Toy Awards" (congrats, dude!), so perhaps now is the time to start collecting his work, if you have not already!
BACKSTORY: "This machine was hanging in the the Grand Central Museum located in the Great City of Netro. The scout was shot down while it tried to record the layout and blueprints of the city. New Alexandria has been at odds with the other 12 Great cities since it attacked its rival city. Many of the great cities reported seeing these scouts over their borders, most of them being shot down. This intrusion only intensifies the world's reluctance to deal with the floating city of New Alexandria. The floating city has been missing for quite some time, many dreading it return." (Excerpt from- "Expedition of 1886").
