The last of his species, Blister is a brilliant giant octopus with a gift for shapeshifting and the unique ability to regenerate his body instantly. He lives along a secluded coastline at the base of a treehouse created from found objects and driftwood. Blister is Scarygirl's guardian and share the same DNA. Nathan describes this special colorway as magic storm echoing between golden cymbals while chewing gum.

There are only 6 days left in this Kickstarter so make sure you head over there now to support. I love the size and feel of these giant colorful vinyls! A super addition to the current crop of self-produced vinyl toys. We have a lot of incredibly interesting and diverse art vinyls popping up, and these giant Trash Bag Bunch figures fit right in! MUCH more info available in the Kickstarter. These art toys run $70 to $100 in the Kickstarter depending on whether you want a blank, a GID or a fully painted version.

WELL-KNOWN ARTIST & ENTREPRENEUR
RETURNS TO ART TOYS WITH NEW JANKY TOY SERIES FEATURING 16 WORLD-FAMOUS ARTISTS —
New York, NY — May 15, 2018 — Acclaimed
artist & entrepreneur Paul Budnitz
(Kidrobot, Ello, Budnitz Bicycles) launches his designer toy company Superplastic today, with new limited
edition toys by renowned artists for sale today on Kickstarter.
Superplastic’s
launch edition toys feature designs by 16 well-known artists including McBess, Camilla d’Errico, Jake Parker, Pete Fowler, Dalek, Ricardo Carvolo, Joe Ledbetter, El Grand Chamaco, Junko Mizuno,
and many others.
Designer
toys meld pop culture, street art, and fashion into limited edition works of
art. Fans are well-known for lining up for hours — or days — for a new
release.
“These
aren’t just toys — they’re art,” says Budnitz. “With so much emphasis on
digital culture, people are literally starved for something beautiful to hold
in their hands.”
Superplastic
begins selling JANKY today — a sneaker-obsessed anthropomorph that’s somewhere between
cute and dark, nasty and nice. Prices range for $25 for a handful of 3-inch toys
to $5,000 for an exclusive handmade 4-foot version.
The
figure took 8 months to design, and is a collaboration between Budnitz and
Superplastic art director Huck Gee,
whose handmade toys sell for $50K and above. Both Budnitz and Gee are featured
in the collection of the Museum of Modern Art.
“Where
others see toys, Budnitz saw a medium for art,” says Gee. “Paul is as excited
about creating experiences as products, and that’s what made art toy culture
explode.”
Budnitz
has been credited with launching the designer toy revolution when he opened his
first Kidrobot store in New York City in 2004 (he left the company in 2012 to
found Ello & Budnitz Bicycles). His return has been
anticipated. The Superplastic home page began
receiving tens of thousands of visits a day in late April, in anticipation of
the Superplastic launch.
“The
man is back! The man is back!”, tweeted XM Radio’s DJ Whookid, a longtime fan.
Other
super limited-edition toys available on Kickstarter today include a giant sized
8” SuperJANKY entitled Ro-Mu-Lo by Mexican artist El Grand Chamaco; and Maximilian Cash by UK artist Pete Fowler, a psychedelic 9-inch tall vinyl toy with fangs, sneakers, a
boombox, and a glowing blue skull. Both
are limited to just 666 pieces.
Says
Fowler, “Paul called and asked if I would make toys with him again. I was like
— shit is
oooonnnn!!”
When
Kickstarter approached Budnitz & Gee last fall about launching Superplastic
on the popular crowdfunding platform, they jumped.
"This project is
really going to resonate with our Kickstarter community, which loves to support
the intersection of art and design," says Julio Terra, Director of Technology & Design for Kickstarter.
“We
immediately saw Kickstarter as a brilliant new way for us to connect with our
audience,” says Gee. “Of course, we decided to do crowdfunding a little
differently.”
Once
their basic $25K goal is reached, the team will unlock a range of fun
challenges and exclusive stretch goals. Kickstarter backers get to launch toys into space, write a Haiku
about their favorite toy, or get a JANKY tattoo. When all 35 challenges are
completed, every single backer gets an extra JANKY toy for just one cent.
Partway
through the campaign Superplastic will also unveil JANKYLAND, a 3-D rendered glitch-art mobile game where fans can
play for free on iPhone & Android.
“In a
world where most things are rebooted, repackaged and resold, everything
Superplastic does is new and original,” says Budnitz. “It’s why our fans are so
excited.”

The goal of this Kickstarter is to factory produce original vinyl toys licensed from the 1991 toy series, Trash Bag Bunch. These are new, larger-scale toys, based on the characters from the classic toy line. Trash Bag Bunch XL are four times the size of the original mini figures with added detail and articulation. Designed, sculpted, and prototyped by hand.
Trash Bag Bunch was a set of mini figures released by Galoob in 1991. It had a great play gimmick where the toys were packed in little trash bags and you didn't know what toy you had until you dropped the bag into water where it would dissolve; frothing and foaming to reveal your new toy! If you want to take a deeper dive into the history of the toys, take a peek at Mel Birnkrant's website where he details the conception of these gross little guys.

The graffiti themed character is created with a hoodie, backpack, glowing eyes, and a "Backjumps" logo sweater (a homage to the graffiti magazine).
At 7" tall, the "Backpacker" is at life size to a real spray 12 oz. spray can and comes complete with a New York Fat Cap. The piece was produced on Discordia Merchandising's DIY Spray Can vinyl figure.

“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

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.
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".
