coarse Do Not Disturb Ignited Set Drops January 9 at coarse.shop

Do Not Disturb – Ignited

It’s time for a midnight snack

As one life ends, another one thrives. Do Not Disturb – Ignited finds the light fading out of Fish’s soul and into Cat's. Cat’s body boasts a sinister glow as she consumes her prey, illuminating the monochrome Fish beneath her. This scene illustrates the climax of the coarse art novel Cold Ways, a moment when innocence is extinguished and two lives are forever changed.

With dimensions of 11’’ x 12’’ x 8’’ [approx. 28 x 30 x 20 cm], the set includes two vinyl figures: the hungry Cat and the half-eaten Fish. As Cat steals Fish’s life, both characters pause for a moment of reflection, trying to understand how they arrived at this moment and where they belong in the world.

Cat will arrive at your doorstep just having eaten, so there is no need to prepare her any food. The fateful pair comes packed inside a color-printed gift box and embedded in black sponge. Each set includes one Family & Friends application card. 

On sale January 9 at coarse.shop

US$ 189
Limited to 150 pieces

Figures are in stock in Hong Kong and Los Angeles and shipping within 2-3 weeks.

Tenacious Toy Clinical Clearance Sale is Open NOW

https://www.tenacioustoys.com/collections/january-2016-clinical-clearance 

Our Clinical Clearance Sale is a progressive, month-long sale with discounts getting larger each week, through the end of January.

Here's how it works: we start you off with a 25% off code good for everything in this Clinical Clearance collection. This code will be a public code and will work through the end of January.
Every following Monday in January, we will EMAIL a new code to members of our General email list which will get them progressively bigger discounts:
  • January 1-31 (25% off): code is CLINICAL (this code works RIGHT NOW)
  • January 9-15 (35% off): ??? must be on email list to get code
  • January 16-22 (45% off): ??? must be on email list to get code
  • January 23-31 (55% off): ??? must be on email list to get code
The January 9, 16 and 23 codes will each ONLY be good for one week, and they will be emailed on Mondays. Make sure you look out for them.

What's the hitch? Why not just wait till the last week to make my purchase?
Each week, before we email the new codes, we will be removing some items from the sale. So the item you are looking for at 55% off might not be available at that discount level. Also, most of the items we only have 1 or 2 units left, so the item might not last that long!

Why is it "clinical"?
The "clinical" part is the way in which we chose items to be included: anything we got over 6 months ago. That's it. Everything older than that has to go, and it has to go NOW. An exercise devoid of emotion is clinical in nature. Apologies to all of our friends whose items have been included in this one...

What's included in the Clinical Clearance?
Way over 100 items are included in this sale: items from Kidrobot, Funko, The Loyal Subjects, tokidoki, Suckadelic, Artoyz and many other art toy manufacturers are included. ALL of our standard 4" Funko POPs are included. Many Dunnys qualify. Many blind boxes. Just tons of cool stuff. This is a painful exercise for us, but necessary to start the new year fresh.
