Hambuddha 8-inch Vinyl by Tik Ka and Mighty Jaxx Drops May 5

“Eat them burgers, for fast food is the fastest path to the Pure Land”  – Hambuddha

From the brilliant mind of Hong Kong artist Tik Ka From East, comes Hambuddha, originating from his “Eat Good West” painting series.

This concept came from the artist’s idea that fast food is responsible for speeding up our journey to Sukhāvatī, the Pure Land, which is the place that we go to after we pass away.

Hambuddha may look like a regular Buddha sculpture from the back, with a halo around his head, but he wears clown-like makeup, reminding us of a famous fast food mascot.
He holds a pearl-like hamburger in his hand and sits in a single lotus position on a deliciously golden-brown lotus throne.

Hambuddha sits 8" tall, is made from vinyl and comes in a limited edition of 300 pcs only. Bring this meaningful and humorous figure home today!

• 8" / 20cm Tall Vinyl Art Collectible
• Blister-packed in Printed box
• Limited Edition of 300
• $169 ea

About ANATOY:

ANATOY is about the complex.

ANATOY is an Art Toy that brings the concept of anatomy to toys and talks about the mental or physical complexes that everybody has but hardly get people’s understanding.

People set goals and make steady efforts to overcome their complexes, but it is not as easy as they think. We have a number of characters who have their own complexes. They are offered a wide range of experiment suggestions at ANATOY Market (ATM) so that they can overcome their complexes and lead an ordinary life like others.

This process helps us understand and empathize with many different complexes of ourselves and others that all of us do not want to show. What we at ANATOY want is help people to have a better and deeper understanding of complexes things that everybody lives with and how one embraces them.

Big C Reveals Custom King Korpse # 2: Rancid Meat

They captured the Kong and tried to fuse his skeleton with a pearlized metal, but something went wrong.  He broke free but his condition is getting worse. Now he's just Rancid Meat.

Big C has done it again, putting his touch on the beautiful King Korpse, by James Groman and Insticntoy. He left just enough unpainted space for the original blue glow to show, and the gory details are amazing.

This piece was a private commission for the same collector who purchased the Reanimated King Korpse. This means that Big C will have both pieces on display in his booth at Five Points, before shipping them to their new home.

Full Reveal of the Plaseebo SUM Vinyl Creature via Planet-X at Mandarake May 5 in Japan

The first release of the Plaseebo “SUM” creature in vinyl will be this Saturday, May 5th, in Japan at the MANDARAKE "Indy Sofubi Rally”. Look for PlANET-X.  URL: www.planetx.asia EMAIL: info@planetx.asia IG / FB: planetxasia

 " THE LEGEND OF SUM "

Driving home from the local red neck bar one moon lit summer night, Roy swerves his pick up toward a  dark shape that is slowly moving along side the road. A loud CRACK shatters the darkness as the front tire breaks the giant snapping turtles' shell in two, right down the center. The great snapper rolls down the embankment into the stream and Roy's laughing fades as the truck turns to cross the bridge to his shabby farm house across the stream.

 

The turtle, floating belly up is carried downstream to the other side and is swept into a quiet eddy where he sinks watching the moon fade from yellow to blood red through the darkening water.

This small pool cut into the bank of the stream was at the back Roy's property and he used it as his personal dump site. The water caught in this hole became a terrible toxic soup of motor oil, fertilizer, broken toys, bones and entrails of many slaughtered animals, rusty tools and who knows what else.

Over the next few months, a strange transformation took place in this evil chowder as it baked in the summer heat. A creature of revenge, born of cruelty and neglect slid its way out of the sickening mess one dark September night. 

 

Roy's body was never found, nor could anyone explain the slime trail from the bedroom through the field behind the house.

 

Over the years that followed, other neglectful farmers vanished on moonless nights and folks reported vague sightings of a creature that seamed to be cobbled together from a collection of garbage, an old doll, bone, rotted skin, and broken tools, with a large snapping turtle skull for a head. They call him "SUM".
