A gentleman in Salem, MA handed Voltaire a blank "Bub" by Kidrobot when he was playing there in December of 2009. Well, Mr. V finally found some time to do this custom right! It's been added to the PHOTOS section under DEADY CUSTOMS but we won't make you dig for it. You can see it....right....HERE!
There is a new DEADY custom toy out there in the world. It's a "Yoka", which is a small vinyl bear made by a company called Adfunture and it's in a show put on by toy distributors DKE (the nice folks who distribute the DEADY "not bootleg" toy!)
You can see this amazing collection of custom Yoka's (including DEADY) here:

There is a new DEADY toy in town and it is the coolest one yet! See the press release below and place a pre-order if you want one!
Comics, Toys and Games collide to form the latest DEADY "Qee" by Toy2R....
Voltaire (musician, toy designer and creator of the DEADY graphic novel series) has teamed up with one of the web's most popular massive multi-user online role-playing games to create one of the more exciting DEADY toys made to date, the ADVENTURE QUEST DEADY 8" Qee!
This Qee (by the premier designer vinyl company Toy2R) is the product of a unique collaboration. On friday the 13th, March, 2009, Voltaire (in animated form) along with his evil teddy bear, DEADY, led a LIVE, 3-hour quest on the on-line game, Adventure Quest Worlds. Players who tuned in, followed Voltaire and Deady onto a haunted pirate ship, sailed across monster infected waters and landed on the shores of Skull Punch Island in search of a cursed guitar. And all the while, Voltaire sang songs from his latest CD, "To The Bottom of the Sea".
Adventure Quest creators, Artix Entertainment, expected 11 thousand players. They were prepared for 25 thousand. After an unprecedented 30 thousand-plus players logged on to this one-time event, the servers crashed! (Hey, what do you expect on Friday the 13th?) But within moments, Artix had the game up and running again. The event proved to be so popular, that is has been added as a permanent fixture in the game and can be played at any time at http://www.AQ.com
Another DEADY mini-game made by Artix can be played here: http://deadybear.net....
The ADVENTURE QUEST DEADY 8" Qee comes in a full color box wrapped in gorgeous art from the Adventure Quest Worlds game!
PLUS! Each box comes with a code that unlocks these items in game
1) A digital Deady pet that follows you wherever you go in game!
2) Free downloads of the songs Voltaire sings in the quest!
3) And other "house" items players can use in the game
Voltaire is the creator of DEADY and a multi-media artist. A recording artist and touring musician, he has written and performed songs for the Cartoon Network show, The Grim Adventures of Billy And Mandy. He is also an award winning animator and director of shorts and station IDs for MTV, SyFy channel and others, a toy designer and the creator of various comic book series including DEADY.

Greetings Deadsters!
At long last, the fan art section is up on the site! Go to PHOTOS and scroll down to FAN ART. There are two pages, so when you get to the last one, be sure to click on the next page or you'll miss out on more awesome entries! The fan art contest has be split into two categories, adult and under 18 years of age. However, in the albums they are mixed. In some cases, when I had the artist's age, I wrote it in the caption under their piece. Eventually I would like to include the age of everyone under 18 who entered, so if that's you, please email your age! Now, for the winners.... I felt that all of the kids did amazing work and it was too hard to choose so ALL "under 18 entries" win a prize!!! To claim your prize, just send an email to voltaire@voltaire.net with your name (as it appears in the fan art gallery), your age and your address and I will mail you a DEADY NOT BOOTLEG TOY for your awesome work! Congratulations to all of you and thanks for entering! <br>The winner of the adult category will also win a Deady Not Bootleg toy, and ALSO, this one of a kind sample of a seated Deady plush toy. This toy was never manufactured. The sample is just one of three made and they were all different so it's unique and very rare.
To find out who the winner is, you'll have to go to the fan art gallery and see for yourself, it's the first piece! Congratulations to our winners and thanks for your wonderful works of Deady art!
Voltaire
