German designer Hannes Hummel did something you don't see very often. He made a useful vinyl toy. Like functional. IT DOES STUFF. In this instance,
a hacked vinyl toy and nintendo mashup. the inside of its head is a gameboy advanced which is controlled by a nes controller. the body is a qee vinyl toy. the soldered chip features full motion video playback, web & filebrowser, and different game console emulators.
I feel like our community has a pretty good handle on form but function (as is often the case) regularly eludes us. What do you think?

Spotted on Facebook:
Frank Kozik and Labbit mini-bust customs by JC Rivera. Based on the Kozik "Goon Squad" dictators. Very clever, nice execution.

It seems like only yesterday that Mark Nagata's Kaiju Eyezon burst onto the scene but it has actually been 5 YEARS. These monsters grow up so fast...
Opening November 3rd at Double Punch SF and featuring Mark Nagata (duh), Bob Conge, Chris Douglass, Martin Hsu and...everyone else on the poster. More info as it becomes available!
