In 1996, Junko Mizuno self-produced a photocopy booklet called MINA animal DX which brought her to the attention of the publishing industry in Japan. Her drawing style, which mixes childish sweetness and cuteness with blood and terror has become a sub-genre of the classic manga movement.

Junko Mizuno currently resides in Tokyo where she produces new comics, illustrations, paintings and design products ranging from toys to clothing.

9" DUD BUDs & NADEs from Jamungo: $25 shipped!

by

I think this is sorta rad: Jamungo recently got a batch of GID BUDs and NADEs in from their factory that were supposed to glow, but didn't.

So instead of trashing the figures, they sprayed a stenciled "DUD" onto the face of each one and they're selling each for $25 incl shipping!

Not only is that brilliant, but it saves the planet a little and also allows us collectors to pick up some rare pieces of vinyl cheap! These can be considered customs since they are all stenciled with spray paint and all will come out a little different...

Jamungo's paypal ID is sellmethat@jamungo.com and all ya gotta do is send them $25 and specify DUD NADE or DUD BUD.

How cool is that?

Introducing Toys Vanvett from Spain!

by

Some really interesting new full-size vinyl is coming from Toys Vanvett in Spain:
From left to right, above toys are called Tenguri II, Kapami, Kapari, and Tenguri.
Retail will be around $45 to $50 per piece and each is a full 10 inches tall! Not sure how big the production run is. I suppose we'll find out more soon from them! FYI I did try to use Babelfish to translate the descriptions of the toys from Spanish to English for you, but the english translation was hysterically garbled so I trashed that idea. Will post up more info on these toys as it becomes available.
Please do email us if you fancy these pieces. I am into the Tenguri figures in particular.
