Lunartik in a cup of tea figures from the UK

LUNARTIK IN A CUP OF TEA

Matt "Lunartik" Jones' new line of toys from the UK are these adorable Lunartik in a cup of tea figures, to be released in June 2009.  Here's the info:

Lunartik JOnes and the team are pleased to announce the first series of designer toys brought directly to the market by Lunartik Limited. Amongst other things the Lunartik team is fueled by tea and the love of all things English, and is dedicated to bringing perfection and attention to detail to every toy produced. Each cuppa stands 6.5” tall & comes complete with it's own cup & saucer, shiny metal spoon & 2 sugar cubes.

Series 1 contains the following figures:
White Tea - The Classic Brew
Rosie Lee - Afternoon Delight
Ice T - Seriously Cool
Milky - Full Fat DIY

There is also a special 200 piece Limited Edition Green Tea distributed exclusively by Highland Toys.

And you can preorder a special Earl colorway figure (seen above) direct from Lunartik. 

The Earl colorway is limited to 200 pieces and comes signed and numbered.

Definitely email us if you want us to import some of these to the US- we have access to the 4 regular non-exclusive figures.

Luckies Zipper Pulls/Keychains by Friends With You

Kidrobot certainly doesn't need the help of our little blog to promote their products, but I just had to post this up in case anyone missed it- we've been supporting Friends With You for a long time, stocking their Wish Come True mini figs, FWY Mimobots and Mr. TTT Plushes, amongst other toys... and on May 7, Kidrobot will be releasing a new line of 29 different Friends With You Luckies zipper pulls! I really like these- simple and fun. Nifty.
