Artist Adam Pratt, whose customs showed up at <a href="http://www.plastikitty.com/home/toy-fair-2013-argonaut-resins-booth-overview" target="_blank">Argonaut Resins’ table at Toy Fair</a>, has joined Argonaut Resins’ creative team full time and he’s kicking things off with a few new customs!</p> <p>First up, as seen in the header is the Armored Golem MK1 8″ Tuttz custom which features metallic paint and battle-worn accents. Next up is the second 8″ Tuttz, the Sekhmet Tuttz, who first showed up back at Toy Fair and now has received an awesome resin base. Rounding out the releases are two more mini Tuttz in the Tuttz Beginnings series, which are quite different from the first releases.</p> <p>Considering I own the Beginnings mini Tuttz that already went up, I’m most certainly a fan of all of these! I’ve been in love with the Sekhmet Tuttz since we first saw it and the new resin base addition is just gorgeous. The Armored Golem is also stunning with its rivet work and it’s sure to make someone very happy. If you want to add one of these Tuttz to your collection, they’ll all be up on Tuesday, the 14th, at 10 PM EST on the <a href="http://argonautresins.bigcartel.com/" onclick="javascript:_gaq.push(['_trackEvent','outbound-article','http://argonautresins.bigcartel.com']);" target="_blank">Argonaut Resins webstore</a>.</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/ArgonautResinsAdamPrattCustomTuttzHeader.jpg "Argonaut Resins Adds A New Member And Some Custom Tuttz")

Shown off at Toy Fair were Sakura, Ibuki, Ken, and Guile all in their designs from <em>Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition</em>. I’m surprised at how well the cloth materials came out on Ibuki and Sakura despite being hard plastic and Ken and Guile come with some amazing clear plastic accessories that really add to the atmosphere. Each figure also has an alternate face as well as some other alternate parts and the line will begin being released in May with Guile and Ibuki at $69.99 each.</p>](http://www.plastikitty.com/wp-content/uploads/ToyFair2013Square-EnixStreetFighterHeader.jpg "Toy Fair 2013: Square-Enix’s Street Fighter Play Arts Kai")

It seems like every time I go to a convention there’s two or more new Metal Gear Solid pieces and, well, that’s what happened here this year with Raiden from <em>Metal Gear Solid 2</em>, and Liquid Snake from <em>Metal Gear Solid</em>. Also on hand was the <em>Metal Gear Solid Rising Revengance</em> Raiden, who will be coming out in April for $69.99 and is looking quite badass.
