To stay loyal to Skinner’s art style, each statue is “freehand” hand-painted (with brush) by artists, making each individual piece unique in its own way.
The very low edition size, large diorama-like nature and “freehand” paint work contribute to the high production value of this art statue.
We believe that this new release is the right combination between a classic collectible, an art toy and museum-like art piece, elevating this original art statue from a mere collectible to a true work of art.

The art of Skinner
Oakland-based artist Skinner is recognized for his vivid, psychedelic and otherworldly art - an agile mix of horror, humour, sci-fi and fantasy. His highly detailed line work, skillful blend of color and composition, make his art amongst the coolest, raddest and most immersive ever.
Mostly focused on his personal work, Skinner has done some cool commercial gigs with Warner Bros, Vans, Adult Swim, Fender guitars, Heavy Metal magazine, Juxtapoz, Kidrobot, Quentin Tarantino, Grammy winning metal band Mastodon and many more.

GORAXX SCALE & SHELF FOOTPRINT
What’s up everyone,
Toy and statue collectors know the importance of shelf space pertaining to their ever-growing collection. In no time, your favorite Batman collection can spill into the bathroom, allowing for batarang choking hazards, even in this bastion of solitude!
The scale we selected as our main scale at House of Gog was well reflected upon before we settled on it. Not too big or too small, we like to think we chose the sweet spot that neither hurts nor tickles.
The art of Skinner
GORAXX, the monster maker
Original art statue
Dimensions: 16H x 13W x 17.5D (inches) | 41H x 33W x 44.5D (cm)
With 2 separate bases, Goraxx art statue’s depth is on the thicc side, but know that you can always display the giant, summoned from his lair, as a separate art piece, if you want.
You want Goraxx? You NEED Goraxx?
Preorders are now live exclusively at houseofgog.com

GORAXX - ARTWORK VS ORIGINAL ART STATUE
As most of you know by now, House of Gog is specialized in bringing to life the rich universe of the world’s best and coolest artists by creating high-craftsmanship original art statues.
As such, this “alchemical transmutation” process from the original artwork to the art statue is at the center of everything we do.
The challenge is not only to bring to life the artwork but also to transfer its energy and emotion into the statue, making sure the final rendition is loyal to the reference artwork and worthy of the artist’s signature.
Skinner's 2D analog intricate line work, vivid and psychedelic color treatment, led us to new grounds and innovation with Goraxx.
We believe the final product is not only a great statue, but also a true Skinner art piece in every way.
//
GORAXX is available to preorder exclusively on our shop at houseofgog.com
Payment plans available (no mark ups)
Worldwide shipping with top tier rates
Limited numbered edition (150 units)
Each statue is hand-signed by Skinner
This is an official collaboration with the artist with royalties, so you also support the artist when buying House of Gog products.
Oh, almost forgot, Goraxx art prints are available and ready to ship. ORDER HERE.

GORAXX PROTOTYPE UNBOXING by Skinner
The unboxing experience is always a very important moment for any collector. After having waited for their toy and or statue for months - in a lot of cases, even years - finally getting their collectible in-hand is the ultimate reward.
Luckily, House of Gog collectors do not wait years for their art piece, but it is rewarding the same!
From a statue maker and artist’s perspective, the experience is quite similar.
Although we are usually “fast”, making statues can take a long time (ex: 2-3 years, from original idea to shipping to collectors). So laying eyes on the final prototype for the first time is one of the most incredible experiences possible for us too and even more so, for the artist, seeing his or her work in a 3D physical form for the first time.
Here’s a peek into the depth of @theartofskinner’s lair, when Skinner received his Goraxx prototype in-hand earlier this year.
A delightful moment frozen in time.

GORAXX PRODUCTION UPDATE - SHIPPING Q1 2023
What’s up everyone,
Goraxx and his army of nightmare children are upon us!
Here are the first [ongoing] production photos for Goraxx, the monster maker from the original art of horror and fantasy Oakland-based artist, Skinner.
This is an official collaboration with the artist.
Production is well on the way and we are confident to be able to have Goraxx ready to ship Q1 2023 or prior! This means that if all goes well, your pre-orders should ship before Chinese New Year, during the month of January or February 2023 at the latest, so the wait is almost over *heavy breathing*
A friendly reminder to the new collectors out there, that in the toy and statue industry, in many cases, collectors can wait up to 2-3 years before their collectible is ready to ship from pre-ordering, so we are very happy to be able to keep this waiting time to around 6 months, which is a feat on its own (FYI pre-orders open less than 4 months ago).
Our production team is doing incredible work considering the busy production pipeline and how complex Goraxx is to produce (sculpt, “free hand” paint application, etc.)
At this stage, paint has been done on a large chunk of the pieces but there is a lot of paint work yet to be done. Next steps alongside paint, assembly and the first round of quality control will be the production of our deluxe “soft-touch” art boxes, foams, pedestal plate and the shipper boxes.
That being said, we are on track with Q1 2023 shipping for Goraxx (￣^￣)ゞ
Remember, it's our team, our production workshop and our passion; so it’s always hands-on and directly from the source!

Goraxx pre-orders are still open exclusively at houseofgog.com.
Quantities are limited so order yours now!
Goraxx is on its way to being sold out (we have less than 50 units left).
-Hand crafted & hand-painted by master statue makers
-Each statue is limited to only 150 units worldwide
-Hand-signed and numbered by Skinner (artist)
-International shipping

GORAXX PRODUCTION UPDATE # 2
What’s up everyone!
A quick update on Goraxx production.
Our production team just came back from Chinese New Year, so everyone is almost at full throttle.
We are finalizing production and assembly.
Skinner just finished hand-signing all the pedestal plates for Goraxx. A reminder that all House of Gog statues and statuettes are signed by hand, by the artist.
We are still pretty much on track but delivery might spill into early Q2 2023, but we should be able to ship by May 2023 at latest if everything goes well.
The last stretch of production is always where unforeseen issues pop up and where the fine tuning is completed.
Luckily, everything is relatively smooth for Goraxx, he is looking great so far, although it's always a tour de force.
“Easy” doesn't really exist in statue making but we are still making incredible time according to industry standards.
Thank you all for your patience and support.
All love,
House of Gog

GORAXX PRODUCTION IS COMPLETED!
Ocean transit & some international orders will start shipping in the next few days.
---
What’s up everyone,
After 8 months (since pre-orders open), Goraxx by Skinner is ready to take on his voyage across the ocean!
Goraxx production has been completed and all units will be packaged tomorrow (April 27, 2023) at our workshop.
This means that all fully paid orders for Asia, Oceania and parts of Europe (ex: France, GB) will start shipping in the next few days, directly from our workshop (in Asia).
For USA and Canada orders (a lot of you), you guys will have to wait until the main inventory makes it across the ocean via ocean freight (container), so it should be around 30-45 days transit. (That’s how we can offer a more affordable standard ground shipping fee to you).
For those with a deposit and a balance payable when the product is ready please, proceed with the payment of your balance but for USA & Canada customers with a deposit, you can make your balance payment in the next 30 days or earlier, since your order will only be ready to ship once product has been received at our Canadian warehouse.
We wish we could send all orders at the same time, but from a logistics and costs perspective, it is not possible to do so, so hang tight fellow earthians as the mighty conjuror is upon you!
Also note that we will send units for reviewers and a (very) small number of collaborators in the next few days, in order to make sure you guys have a sneak peak through their quality content and commentary.
**LOW STOCK WARNING** We have less than 30 units of Goraxx available, so you can still get yours now via houseofgog.com
---
As always, you guys have been awesome and your ongoing support has been the key factor in the growth and successes of the House of Gog.
We are forever grateful and with your help, we will continue our journey into the world of high-end art collectibles.
P-A & Hugues

Kind, charming, curious and very talented, this creator deserves to be known, as the quality of his work is not only outstanding, but also original and done with a keen eye for beauty.
Nchanz recently received his Skinner’s Goraxx original art statue and had some fun shooting it with his Canon EOS R5, complemented with his style and visual signature.
We hope you enjoy his top notch artistic Goraxx photography.
