"Bombs have been a notorious threat to our safety, but these customized vinyl ones just serve to blow up your visual sensations"
This week Tenacious Toys and Delicious Drips are hosting the Who’s Da Bomb custom toy contest. Artists from around the world are customizing the extremely small, yet dangerous Frank KozikMini Bomb by Toy2r. Some of the artists are completely new to toy customization, and some are experienced veterans to the trade. The Kozik Bomb represents the perfect mini project for some of our extremely busy artists, while also providing a simple platform for the newcomers.
On the same day, voting will commence on the custom Bombs which have been submitted to the Delicious Drips website. Voting will take place from September 1st through the 7th. http://deliciousdrips.com/submissions/viewart.php
We encourage everyone to go check out the customs and VOTE! Delicious Drips has put together valuable prize packages for the top 3 most voted-on Bombs.
This custom Mini Bomb show was a spur-of-the-moment concept by Benny of Tenacious Toys. After seeing a custom Bomb created by Willow, it occurred to him that the Bomb makes a simple and fast custom toy which would be appropriate for first-time customizers. He put out a call on the Tenacious Toys blog for anyone interested in participating, and he got 1400 responses! After sending out the remainder of the Tenacious Toys stockpile of Mini Bombs, Benny called upon Toy2R for a resupply and they kindly sent over another case of Bombs. Allin all, Tenacious Toys shipped out 80+ bombs to people all over the world (for free!). Benny also called upon Delicious Drips for advice, and got much more than that- Tenacious Toys got a co-sponsor! Delicious Drips volunteered the voting capabilities of their Submission section, as well as hundreds of dollars worth of prizes for top vote-getters, bringing the Who’s da Bomb show to the next level!
So, Tenacious Toys, Delicious Drips & Toy2R present to you the Who’s daBomb?! custom Toy2R Mini Bomb show, an online custom show dedicated to the next generation of toy customizers! It is the guys, getting sculpy under your fingernails and inhaling paint fumes in your basement, that make the custom toy world such an interesting place!

About Delicious Drips
Delicious Drips is a custom toy company that stepped onto the scene in2007. Initially we started out as a collective of several vinyl toy artists looking to elevate the medium into the world of fine art. Since then, Delicious Drips has quickly expanded into a full online boutique featuring a huge selection of DIY toys, as well as an online gallery that encourages artists to promote their work and share it with the world. With a deep community of talented artists behind us, it was only amatter of time before we came up with something groundbreaking.
In 2009, DD unveiled a new product concept spun off of their toy customizing innovation. The SkullyBoom SB1will be DD’s first production piece where we plan to unite the urban alternative worlds of action sports with a vinyl toy inspired lifestyle product.
