It's a Smorkin' Labbit riding a slug, who is also smoking a cigarette. Why not?

Student PEECOL

Description

The backstory is that this guy got straight A's in Fine Art and Emotions 101. Funny. I interviewed a kid who looked almost exactly like this guy--just less blue--for a job several weeks ago. Didn't work out.

Fishbone Model Making

First to recommend

Description

Sticking for a minute with the slightly bizarre theme of Icelandic kids playing with bones, this Fishbone Model kit is designed for figure creation out of fish bones. Sounds like a comedy sketch, right? Still awesome, especially as it's called Something Fishy.

Swigg Ricky Rhino

First to recommend

Description

Swigg Critters offer a unique take on the stuffed animal. The vinyl exterior is stuffed with poly-fill, and the whole comes off like something directly between a plush doll and urban vinyl.

Ever wonder what a French dunny looks like? Kidrobot's French Series collects work from a significant handful of lowbrow French artists (including KOA, Onde, and Superdeux, among others) into a blind assortment of 25.

Rolling Stones Be@rbrick

First to recommend

Description

It's really hard not to feel like urban vinyl has reached complete saturation when The Rolling Stones are dragging out a Be@rbrick. Why not, right? Some consultant is getting paid. This one measures up at 1000% (almost 30").

Lettus Bee Wrench Pilot

First to recommend

Description

Anyone remember reading Transworld as the '80s turned into the '90s? If you did, you must have come across an amazing black & white comic called Wrench Pilot. This vinyl figure is bailing about as hard as you might expect. Only from the mind of Mel Bend.

Burnum the Platypus

First to recommend

Description

The clever design element at play in Barnum the Platypus involves equipping a mostly defenseless and rather endangered animal with a boomerang, a potential weapon in this guy's native Tasmania and Australia. He looks sort of cute, but also sort of mean.
