Here's how Hot Toys collectibles are made

Hot Toys action figures are so expensive, or in some cases borderline ridiculous. But there are some good reasons why these collectibles come with a hefty price tag. First, they're highly detailed. Second, they're extremely difficult and time-consuming to make. These 'toys' are also designed to appeal to fans of various comic book and film franchises, and are marketed exclusively to adults.

JC Hong, president of Hot Toys production in South Korea, recently sat down with The Story Plus to talk about the strenuous process of creating these hyper-realistic figures.

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Thai artist paints on mosquito nets

I find them quite intriguing, these ghostly portraits that Uttaporn Nimmalaikaew paints on mosquito nets. His creations look like a hologram, changing form depending on where the viewer stands. Overall, they're gloomy, haunting, and endlessly fascinating. I could stare at them for ages. [h/t: Colossal ]
