Richard Page, founder of UME-Toys, is a creative professional whose background is founded in graphic design. UME-Toys (You&Me) came to life as a joint project with his daughter @elmos_empire to serve as an outlet for their joint ideas whilst she was being home schooled. Always a keen doodler Richard began to turn his sketches into finished resin collectables, growing the UME brand through social media, gallery shows and word of mouth. In 2014 he won the prestigious Clutter Designer Toy Awards for best resin toy with his cute GeekWok character.

Unlike many kids, he grew up just a few miles from the Vegas strip, it’s neon and glitz looming over the city. He graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, California and currently lives and works in the Los Angeles area with his wife, artist Esther Pearl Watson, their daughter Lili and two French Bulldogs, Mr. Pickles and Gherkin.

| Feddy Frett by Credenda Studios
“It looks like Credenda Studios’ evil twin has stolen the plans to one of his prized figures, the Freddy Fett. Only he didn’t get all of the secrets. After months of trying and failing, a clone of the Freddy Fett has been produced. Only it’s not what you’d think it would be. With a knockoff backer card and some interesting back story, the evil twin has created a new monster and his name is Feddy Frett.” The Horror Hunters return, only this time with a bootleg-Turkish-Uzay feel to it. There have been 4 figures in this series so far but this one has been gone for so many years that it was time to bring it back. Hand cast and painted 3.75″ carded figure. Signed and numbered edition of 30. $65”

Buzzard Guts was founded in 1994 as a hand distributed “fan” zine by self proclaimed “artist” and multi-dimensional guru Dain A. Marx who has been creating and exploring alternate universes since the early 70s. Now, Buzzard Guts produces kit bashed hand cast resin figures from a trailer in the woods. These “bootleg toys” of characters from alternate realities feature collaborations from various talented illustrators like Neil Devlin of Last Boss Comics, Ryan Winn of Valiant Comics and maybe one day, you!
