Plague Oracle - Smoke Veil Edition - Daniel Yu

Continuing my obsession with the work of Daniel Yu, I received my 2nd Plague Oracle today. The Plague Oracle sculpt is my latest favourite from Daniel Yu, they go beautifully with my past Daniel Yu acquisitions & the little hand accessories are just an awesome little bonus!
This latest Plague Oracle is part of Daniels recent 'Smoke Veil' series. Each figure was limited to 20 pieces.

I'm a huge fan on Daniels blank editions. As much as I also greatly respect his skill with paint, sometimes I think it distracts from the beauty & detail of his sculpting. Also being a fan of black & red, in this particular case I couldn't resist adding to my collection.


Differing from my first Plague Oracle which came with a mini skull accessory, this new one includes 3 accessories! A anatomical heart, a rose & a little pile of poo! These accessories are no exception in regards to Daniels amazing attention to detail. My photos do not do them justice!


I cannot wait to add more Plague Oracles to my collection in the future! I'm also eager to see what new characters Daniel Yu will add to his repertoire!
For those hoping to add any of the 'shadow veil' editons to their own collection - Darwin(the fox) has sold out, but the other 3 designs are still currently available in Daniels store here.

Rebeca Mortis Monochrome 3 Pack - Daniel Yu

Sometimes I'm in such awe over an artists work, it's almost incomprehensible. That's how Daniel Yu makes me feel. I recently managed to acquire one of his limited R.Mortis Monochrome sets. The toys are less then 3inches tall & I don't think I've ever seen so much detail on a toy. They're simply mind blowing.



I couldn't be more pleased to finally own some of Daniel Yu's stunning work. I simply cannot get over the level of detail. I will acquire more for my shelves soon! I'm definitely leaning towards the Oi! Cthulhu figure, yet another stunning example of detail. But all in good time, my Daniel Yu collection will grow one day!


They were also incredibly difficult to try & get a picture off. So much detail lost, but at least they look epic standing in front of my monolith figure. Definitely a nice temporary home for some truly breath-taking art toys.
Tragically, these sold out very quickly, along with the painted version, so you're out of luck if you wanted a R.Mortis set. I seriously recommend just keeping an eye open for future work from Daniel Yu however, as I imagine any future creations will be just as stunning!
