Seen: Scribe & Ardabus Rubber Dunny Signings @ BAIT and KRLA

 

To kick off the release of Kidrobot’s Dunny 2013, series artists Scribe and Ardabus Rubber sketched, customized and signed not once, but twice over the weekend  in greater Los Angeles – first on Friday @ Kidrobot LA on Melrose and then on Saturday @ BAIT in Diamond Bar.   Both artists went the extra mile – customizing Munny World figures of all shapes and sizes from micro munnys to a mega munny.   On Friday, both artists went an 1.5 hrs pass the scheduled 8 PM end time to make sure everyone went away happy.  On Saturday, the pair made their first visit to BAIT’s gorgeous flagship store in Diamond Bar and quickly picked right up where they left off, signing Dunnys, customizing Munnys, including a Mega Munny for the store’s collection.  As is their tradition, BAIT showcased the new Dunnys as well as Scribe’s previous work including the Resound Field Guide Minis (Cardboard Spaceship), in displays complete with laser-engraved wood plaques.  Hit the jump for a look at both events.

Sucklord x DKE Toys – S.U.C.K.L.E. Mini-figs Kickstarter

By now, you know that 2” solid color PVC inject mini-figures in the vain of the vintage M.U.S.C.L.E figures are quite popular.  But one thing’s missing from this affordable toy scene – the SUCK factor.  Sucklord and DKE are about to change all of that with the support of toy collectors.  First shown at last year’s SDCC as a partial set of five prototypes, Sucklord’s S.U.C.K.L.E. series (Simply Unimportant Collectable Kitchy Little Eyesores),  features 10 different characters drawn from his twisted and let’s be honest, sucky, universe including : Sucklord 66, Sucklord 43, Sucklord 16, Ass Wipe, Necromancer, Galactic Jerkbag, Ira Tyranusberg, Another Bitch, Vectar, and Gay Empire.  While the character’s are you know, sucky, the sculpts by George Gaspar of October Toys look quite good.  

Since making sucky toys actually takes some money, Sucklord and DKE Toys have launched a kickstarter campaign to raise the necessary production funds ($7350) complete with an amusing retro-gone-wrong commercial (below).   As you might guess there are plenty of reward levels including a basic flesh colored set ($20), a combo pack of a flesh set + kickstarter exclusive clear set ($40), a complete set which includes the ten figures in all five colors plus the exclusive clear ($100) and higher levels which include the option to receive the figures packaged individually in blisters on character-specific cards.  Other options include Sucklord headshots (ummm…), Sucklord talking plushes and more.
