I’ve been waiting to buy one of Brian Morris’s vinyl sugar skulls since the day I saw them on the I Want Your Skull blog. I almost forgot about them until I received an IM from a friend who is interested in making his own vinyl sugar skulls. After a bit of research, I decided to just hit Brian up with an email to find out what’s going on with the awesome busts. Sadly, the news isn’t great.

I hate to say it, but the Busts are in a permanent holding pattern. After working with 7 different factories and 2 separate “hand-paint” shops, we can’t get the result that we were trying to achieve in the printing. So rather than put out a shoddy product, we’ve shelved it until the technology catches up to the toy’s printing requirements. The printing and concept looks so simple, but requires very tight printing and overlaps. Plenty of other projects in the works, but this particular one is a long way from finished.
