Trexi - Blank DIY Figures

First to recommend

Description

Trexis are one of the most under-rated platform toys on the market, and easily one of the coolest!

Standing 3 inches tall and made of hard ABS plastic, they don't have the almost fetish-worthy texture of traditional vinyl toys. But they make up for it with a truly cool and unique feature....two-part heads that allow for multiple faces!

The top and bottom of the head are separate pieces, allowing you to turn the top of the head and expose a different paint job on the back or sides!

How awesome is that? Pretty damn awesome.

8 different head shapes are available...Round, Square, Headphones, Horns, Cat, Bear, Monkey, and Oval.

VIL the Devil - Patch Version

Recommended for gordon who wants a cool vinyl monster that is not too scary but bad-ass enough to impress a 4 year old, using I Want on Facebook.

First to recommend

Description

Flocked vinyl is a particular fetish of ours. You get the smooth lines of a well-made vinyl toy, but it's also fuzzy.

Like a velvet Elvis, minus the kitsch!

Plus, lets face it...this particular figure has a lot going for it. It's cute, with an evil smile, and an eyepatch.

An EYEPATCH.

That spells "pirate" to us, and it's hard to go wrong with pirates.

Evil Ape - Evil Kong Green

Recommended for gordon who wants a cool vinyl monster that is not too scary but bad-ass enough to impress a 4 year old, using I Want on Facebook.

First to recommend

Description

MCA is one of the best (and most underrated) toy designers in the US. His "Evil Ape" character is both adorable and slightly sinister, and the metric ton of different colorways available give you enough options that you can buy 'em up and match them to your outfits everyday.

Treading the line between cool and cute is a hard thing, but Evil Ape pulls it off.

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

Finally, someone making a display rack for toys that's as much fun as the toys themselves!

Obviously geared towards the 3" Dunny series from Kidrobot, there are tons of blind box toys that will fit in these just fine. Hand molded, one at a time, from ABS.

Thank you, ReBo Labs!

Vintage Columbia Rambler Ladies Bike

First to recommend

Description

When it comes to a bike for cruising around, go vintage! Nothing beats the style of pre-1960's bicycles...except pre-1960's cars. ;)

John's Vintage is an excellent vintage bike dealer with tons of knowledge, and a great selection. Plus you get to rescue an old bike, and the satisfaction of knowing that your bike really was built to last!

Kidrobot - Mini Munny DIY Toy - Pink

First to recommend

Description

The Kidrobot Munny is arguably the best platform toy on the market. For those unfamiliar, a platform toy is a molded blank that is intended for decoration by YOU! And the Munny has proven itself to be the most flexible of the bunch, spawning thousands of amazing custom figures! (For a taste, go to Flickr and search "custom munny"....amazing stuff!)

Kidrobot has recently released the Mini Munny...a 4" version of the regular 7" Munny figure. Coming in at only ten bucks, this is the perfect, logical evolution of the only designer toy that actually has a teacher kit and school program attached to it! Now everyone can easily afford designer vinyl toys...and design one themselves!

Available in White, Pink, or Blue. Comes packaged with a "My Name Is..." card, a sticker you can color, one mini-marker, and a mystery accessory...snap-on mohawk, pinwheel, glasses, picket sign, or....something else. ;)

You know. For kids.

Kids are people too. They're just smaller, and sometimes need helping wiping their butts. Plus, they can't drive worth a crap.
