Taking established toy brands and making a vinyl toy version seems to be all the rage now, but I couldn't resist these takes on Mega Man and Protoman. You can pick them up from Toys R Us.

Huck Gee, one of my favorite current artists around, is putting his latest vinyl creation up for sale this Friday at noon (PST). There are only 10 figures in this set, and grabbing one will cost you a cool $800. however, i have little doubt that these will sell out like hot cakes. If you are looking for an amazing unique expense, check it out: Huck's blog with info on the item and sale

So it seems like Hasbro is getting into the "designer toy" game. They have a new toy series called "Mighty Muggs" that looks equally at home in Wal-Mart as it does in Kidrobot. I started getting into this style when I moved to LA, and I guess most cool sub-cultures are destined to be appropriated by more commercial establishments. It wasn't long ago that the legal chums at Epic threatened to sue someone over a custom "Munny" depicting Marcus Fenix from the game"Gears of War".
Either way, the picture above is from a new Marvel line coming out in March. You can see the current "Star Wars" series on the Hasbro website.
