July 25 update: JLED Pico & Wilshire, Steampunk Eos, 2010 Dunny series & more

COMING SOON:

- Kidrobot's 2010 Dunny series is set to drop on August 19th. We ordered 2 cartons (8 cases) and we offer free US shipping on cases. Can't presell them but we'll send out another update when they arrive.

- We are expecting a lot of great stuff from Toy2R soon: The 2.5-inch Qee Artist series, which we'll open up and sell open-box, the 2.5-inch Skelanimals Qee Artist series (which we'll also open), Horvath's Roller the Reindeer and that "vintage"-style all-black Bossy Series set. Preorders will get set up for those once the distributor lets me know they're ready to ship to us.

- Dark Horse is collaborating with Toy2R once again to bring us, in my opinion, the coolest Domo Qees yet: the 7-inch Wood Domo Qee and the 7-inch glow in the dark Domo Qee, both of which can be seen here on our blog.

A little more about this figure:

Artoyz Originals presents Lucius, a devilish new vinyl creation by MIST. French graffiti artist Mist, strikes back with an original vinyl toy, graphically following his latest mini series (Debilz) released in 2008 by Kidrobot. A new original figure for Mist, Lucius features all his iconic features such as innovative articulations, dripping colors, spiky boundaries and prominent teeth. Lucius comes with its partner, a little flame-ball, that you can display in its hands or simply put by its side. Four colorways will be released in 2010.

More about MIST:

Born and raised in Paris, Mist first experienced graffiti in the late 80's and is also a French pioneer of designer toys. Today Mist travels the planet with his partner TILT for exhibitions and street paintings whenever he is not developing his art in his studio in the south of France.

MIST, c'est l'homme!

That means "MIST is the man!" en francais. Correct pronunciation is something like "mist, say luhmm".

Now you know some French.

Next week I will teach you what "merde" and "putain" mean.

For now, visit MIST on his website, follow his blog or check the Flickr page devoted to his artwork.
