Vulgaris Mortem Sofubi Show at Guzu Gallery

    Do you live near Austin, Texas?  Do you like crazy sofubi toys?  Are you free this afternoon?  No, I'm not trying to ask you on a date, I'm trying to tell you about the Vulgaris Mortem show at Guzu Gallery.  This show features work from Krotpong Industries and Violence Toy and is for one day only, which means whatever you want to own you get to take home with you today.  Check out more info here: http://www.guzugallery.com.  

Tenacious Toys Exclusive Silly Snakes from Itay G

    Snakes are kinda bumming me out right now, because the Vikings tv show posted an ad on Instagram featuring a bunch of the writhing little danger noodles.  Now normally this would not concern me except for the fact that the legend of Ragnar Lothbrok ends with him being killed in a pit of serpents and he is the main character on the show.  Is this some foreshadowing covered in scales or a clever ruse to throw off the people interested in the history/mythology it is based on?  I'm losing my mind stressing about this.

    I'll give these dudes a pass because they look fairly harmless, and they're resin, which is only deadly if you inhale the fumes for too long.  Or I guess if you made a resin weapon and attacked someone with it, but that would be kind of a sick thing for you to do, weirdo.

   These Silly Snakes from Itay G are an exclusive to Tenacious Toys, limited to 10 pieces, and available for preorder right now by clicking here.  You only have until December 6th to get one.  

Mickey Monster Kickstarter from Vincent Scala

   Vincent Scala is getting down to the last few days of his Kickstarter to make his Mickey Monster figure a reality, so like the Knights of the Vale coming just in the nick of time to save Jon Snow in his battle against Ramsey Bolton, you are here.  You are here to wield your cash as swords and plunge them deep into the hearts of any doubters that this project will not reach glory.  So check out the campaign by clicking here, get yourself one of these mean looking dudes, and help the world of art toys grow even bigger.  And it's only $20 to get one of these figures which is a friggin deal.  Seriously, when is the last time you got anything cool for $20?  

It's a Very Munny Christmas at the Mothership Art Gallery

    If anyone was to ever ask my advice, which surprisingly no one ever has, the number one thing I would instill in them is at a young age pick a career that you will love and will give you freedom.  That second part is important, cause you can trick yourself into loving what you do to a certain extent through tried and true brainwashing techniques, but freedom is more than a state of mind.  Freedom doesn't leave you beholden to a company that sees you as an easily replaceable part in their larger machine.  Freedom doesn't leave you feeling trapped and hopeless.  No, freedom allows you to write your own ticket and tons of other cliche things that are escaping me right now.  Freedom also allows you to not miss cool events because no one else will work for you even after you explain to them that your happiness is in direct relation to how miserable you can make them.  It's simple math folks.   

    The Mothership Art Gallery is a relatively new store in Philadelphia that I still haven't made it out to see yet, and sadly I will not be able to break that streak this Friday when they host A Very Munny Christmas show.  Literally a butt ton of artists are participating with custom Munny ornaments from Kidrobot and a blind box resin series to boot.  All the details you need are in the picture so you can go and hang out and get some affordable custom figures/tree decorations.  One day I'll make it there.  One day.  

Weird Ways In Which People Find This Website

   Without question this is the weirdest search phrase anyone has ever used to stumble upon my little corner of the Internet.  Actually, it might have been less of a search and more of a disturbing confession.  Drumroll please as I present to you the sentence that should make me rethink everything I do here if it didn't amuse me so much...."I'm a mass murderer."  There could be someone out there right now that has done something really bad and in his attempt to use Google as an impromptu priest he found a new love for designer toys that has replaced his need for bloodshed.  This may be the most important work I've ever done and my fast track to sainthood.  Can we get The Vatican on the phone?

"Reyn" Edition GOG from Rob Jones x Unbox Industries

 

    The names Gog and Magog are entwined in the lore of many different places and can even be found mentioned in the Bible.  Their pertinence here is in relation to London, who claims them as protectors of the city.  With a face devoid of flesh and a suit that Genghis Khan would have worn to the prom, this dude looks like he would squash any tomfoolery with his spikey ball thingy and spend his lunch break polishing it to its original shine with your major organs.  So much more effective than Armor All.

    This mythological bouncer was designed by one Rob Jones and is based on a gig poster he did a few years back.  Unbox Industries brought it to disturbing life in plastic form and the results are a massive figure that could scare a hyena off a hamburger.  There's three versions of this dude, and Rob has sold out of the first two already.  But you can still own the spectral-like Reyn edition direct from his website by clicking here.
