Toyark Spotlight – Can of Beams Effect Pieces

Posted on August 18, 2015 at 10:51 am by Tony_Bacala under Dragonball Z Toy News, Toyark Spotlight

Today we’d like to spotlight something really cool we found in our travels over on Instagram. The fine folks over at Can of Beams have been making high end custom effects pieces compatible with SH Figuarts Dragonball Z and other lines that really make the figures come to life on your shelves. Goku gets his Kamehameha, Vegeta gets his Big Bang Attack Final Flash, and Piccolo gets his Special Beam Cannon. They have a ton more, plus pieces for S.H. Monster Arts, Gundam, Figma, Naruto, and recently even Marvel Legends!

The quality is really top notch, crystal clear solid plastic with fades and gradients throughout so it isn’t just a colored blob. Each one is unique and fits with the character they are designed for. Each effect piece has a peg hole to use with display stands. Previously they were tuned for Tamashii stands but Can of Beams have moved to Obitsu compatability since their pegs are a bit longer and the stands themselves are a bit cheaper and more versatile.

Can of Beams produces these things in waves and puts them up on eBay when they are ready to go, with notice. Check his account here for items, and keep an eye on his website for new effects and for a heads up on when they are going up for sale. You can also follow them on Facebook to keep up to date. Hit their ordering page for details on how that works and even commission a custom piece!

Can of Beams let us check out pieces for Goku, Vegeta and Piccolo, plus some standard energy balls that could be used by anyone. We’ve run them through a quick photo session – check out how they look in action after the break!

Check some key shots below, full set after that!

    These would be cool, but he never puts anything up on his Ebay page. I have been trying to get stuff from him for like a year, and I finally just gave up.

    Destro, he did do some ML stuff recently, but they were purchased quickly. I think that he did an Iron Fist flame fist, Iron Man repulse , and some ricochets for Cap's shield.

    Generally, the pieces are pretty expensive (IMO). But they look absolutely amazing, and are hand made, so I can justify it.

    He's posted these on Reddit a few times, and they're really really great looking. People ask him how he makes them but he never replies to that. I used to think it was some sort of molding of hot glue or something but the perfection in that spiral wrapped DBZ figure just blows me away if that's not something computer generated.

    If you don't mind my asking, how expensive?

    most likely he carves out or 3-d prints a single piece that would be the basis for the mold. then he pours a rubberized or silicone 2 part mold maker like oomoo: Amazon.com: Smooth-On Silicone Mold Making Rubber OOMOO 30. then he pours in a clear cast resin with some food coloring. i guarantee the reason he charges high is because of the base materials which are expensive.

    It varies piece to piece. Prices range typically between $20-27 per piece. I can give you specific pricing through any of the sites linked in the feature.

    They are actually hand sculpted, every one of them, unique, including that spiral. I'm really flattered you think that had to be computer generated.
