David Horvath 5-inch Roller the Reindeer


Roller the Reindeer is the latest figure in the ever-expanding Bossy Bear lineup by Uglydoll creator David Horvath. This 5-inch vinyl figure is made by Toy2R & is scheduled to release in July.
Retail price will be around $18.
Will update this post with a link to the preorder once we get closer to having the actual products in stock.

Roller the Reindeer attends flight school for reindeers up at the north pole...but Roller doesn't want to pull Santa's sleigh at all. No, he wants to move to LA to become a skateboard champion! You would never guess all this just from looking at him.

PACO Prisoner & PACO DIYs from SFASA Design

Federico is an Italian ex-pat currently living in Hong Kong. He sends word to us about his design company, SFASA Design, providing full spectrum design services. His current toy project is PACO, a character whose story is released monthly via comics! Check the website for more info. PACO is a 3.5 inch figure available in the Prisoner (seen above) as well as DIY versions:
There are also PACO canvases and t-shirts available.

About Paco:
He is a trouble but legendary man, he was born in a slum district in Milan, only with violence and poverty. The life for PACO is really hard and unfortunate, he turned into dark side by this harsh atmosphere. After many years of theft, robbery, arson… he was arrested.

HOWEVER, THIS IS NOT THE END.

The life of PACO is still not easy, he must camouflage everyday to escape from the prison. He has tried to fit as a bear, a tortoise, a horse…, but never succeed. PACO needs your help, bring him the best outfit to escape!

CAN YOU HELP HIM?
