It's only the first month of the year and Sekure D come out swinging with this rad custom Custom Codename Human Torch Bot vinyl.
But that's not all Kidrobot reports that Australia's own Sekure D is invading the US stores and online. The Munnyworld customs will be making appearances in Los Angeles, New York, Boulder, and San Francisco for sale.
The year is 2322 and the robots, no longer reliant on their solar heart panels have taken over the world, exterminating all but a few humans. After a century spent completing their foremost objective they are now left, bereft of meaning; a regrettable shortcoming of Artificial Intelligence. Seeking something greater the ‘Codename Unknown’ Robotic Allegiance has turned to the daily activities of humans to fulfill their needs while striving to eradicate their new found enemy, the Blobs, a thriving life form created from the toxic sludge emitted by the Codename Unknown prototypes. New armies have been constructed from parts previously discarded in their underground and underwater boneyards to help fight the Blobs and stop them from destroying the earth.
So be on the lookout for these rad customs. To check out more of Sekure's awesome work go HERE.

Sekure D is releasing a super limited run of custom Dunnys for a second Remix Series that look awesome.
"The Codename Unknown Robot Allegiance are still under attack from the blobs and they have frantically put together 4 new members as backup, built from the scraps of old models reborn out of their ocean graveyards to help fight back against the ever growing number of blobs."
In true talented style that is unique to Sekure, the 1/1 blind box pieces feature the remixed Ocho, Scribe, Kano and the Beast Brothers figures available August 6 HERE from $95 USD each including shipping from Australia so be quick to Sekure yours.
We posted HERE earlier this week about Sekure D leaking the first 4 of his 7 print series for Oz Comic Con in Melbourne Australia. Now we've been lucky enough to get an exclusive interview from Sekure himself plus with the remaining 3 prints in question and a new custom figure.
Tic Toc: What can we expect from your booth at this years Oz Comic Con?
Sekure D: A whole range of things. Unlike last year there is for the first time prints as well as custom sneakers and vinyl toys plus some original art. I have tried to represent a variety of the things I do as well as have price points accessible to everyone who attends.
Tic Toc: Prints are a new concept for you, is this something you've wanted to do prior?
Sekure D: Absolutely, I am disappointed in myself that I did not do it sooner. After OzComicCon last year I said to myself that I needed more accessible items on my table than just original sneakers and toys which can alienate people due to the price point. Everyone can get involved and pick up a print and then maybe later down the track something a bit bigger. It’s just about spreading the word and trying something new really.
Tic Toc: What inspired you to create the prints you have produced?
Sekure D: A big part of what I am doing at the moment is putting my ‘Codename Unknown’ spin onto existing characters and that was the main focus with the prints that will be available at the con. There is some variety in the characters, mainly to assess how they would be received and help me refine the artwork for next year. My favourite piece is definitely the Simpsons sprawl canvas which is more my genuine style, it was a tonne of fun and if all things go well I will do a follow up with a Moes Tavern theme as well as another with secondary characters.
Tic Toc: What's influencing your creativity with your new custom pieces especially KidCoral?
Secure D: This is a hard one as I am never really sure, I am trying to push what I do with colors as well as take my existing patterns to a new level at the moment, which really is the focus.
Tic Toc: Will you be doing any live customs or signings at Oz Comic Con?
Sekure D: With 1 trestle table of space and so much to display and exhibit I do not think I will be able to do any live painting this year, if this con goes as well as I hope it will then I will probably get two spaces next year and use one exclusively for painting live.
Tic Toc: What's your thoughts on the designer toy & sneaker industry in Australia.
Sekure D: It is confusing to me, there is a core of passionate collectors which I have met over the years but what I think we need to work on and foster is the sense of community. This is what helps establish the scene and push it to the next level. I know we have some galleries and stores which already display and or sell custom pieces but I hope it will soon go to the next level and become similar to the great sneaker and in general art scene here. I am very much looking forward to that day myself.
Don't forget you catch Sekure D July 6 -7 at Oz Comic Con in Melbourne. Sekure D will also have a few giveaways that he'll release information on via his Instagram and Facebook Page in coming days.

Sekure D will also have a few giveaways that he'll release information on via his Instagram and Facebook Page in the coming days as well as more leaks to come.
The Australian customising movement is only just getting started but not for Sekure D who was invited by Nike Australia to come down to their HQ in Melbourne and paint up a storm of an AM90 Mural on canvas for an upcoming conference.
Due to safety regulations concerns Sekure could only use spray paint on the initial stages of the background after which the rest of the mural was then continued by hand with the finishing touches done infront of the conference crowd over a couple of hours.
We're lucky enough to have the timelapse video to show how much work went into this totally rad piece of art.
The result of this awesome piece is stunning with vibrant background colors helping the Nike AM90 pop as the feature. For those of you who know of Sekure D's work you can see signature styles that relate to his other awesome body work in toy customising. Like what see? Then check out Sekure D HERE.
