Black Friday Sale @ Super7


It is that time of year again; Santa's wayward elfs have been hard at work exploring the cavernous storage areas and back offices of Super7. These elfs aren't searching for the over hyped or under produced toys that drove collectors crazy throughout the year. No they are looking for the forsaken and forgotten toys who have been passed over by collectors as they scrambled to buy the latest craze or saved their pennies to afford an elusive grail.

At the stoke of midnight on Thursday night, with belly's full of Turkey (or Tofurkey) the Super7 staff will flip a switch and over 500 toys will go on sale. Discounts will be as much as 75% off MSRP on figures from the following companies:

B-Club, Bearmodel, Blobpus, Charactics, Cronic, Darkside Hero Toys, Empire, Hukkokudo, Ichibanboshi, Ilanena, Iwakura, Kaijuken, Killer J, Longneck, M1 Go, Marmit, Marusan, Murakoshi, Nostalgic Hereos, Pop Soda, Rainbow, Real x Head, Secret Base, Whiz, Skikaruna, Skull Toys, Slash, Sofubi Life, SunGuts, Superposition, Toygraph, US Toys, Wonderwall, Yamanaya

SURPRISE Skullhead from Huck Gee

The return (SURPRISE) of the Skullhead, Six inches of cuddly round death... This little guy now rounds out all of the 3" production Dunnys Huck Gee has ever created, all replicated as 8" customs. This version more closely matches the original template that was submitted for series 4. Cute, bubbly and evil. What else can we say... red and white stripes, death kanji, wings and a cute little skull.

Each figure is signed, numbered and comes with shown accessories. Due to the nature of the materials, some differences should be expected in each figure. 10 figures in this set, $700 per figure. Limit one figure per customer.

Huck will only have a handful of these available, and since their store won't handle the traffic yet they're gonna change things up a bit. These are being announced to the mailing list first and will be sold to the first people to email sales@huckgee.com (these will probably be gone within moments, we realize this) So, to reserve your figure and make payment arrangements email sales@huckgee.com NOW! First come, first served!

Official pics for "Feed My Tummy" show...




John Hook, also known as Contra808 in the online urban arena, is a gifted local photographer in demand in Hawaii. He is trademarked for his artistic eye in the photographs he snaps, and has mastered various photographing techniques to come up with his awesome artistic outcomes. John has no boundaries in the subjects he shoots; couples and newlyweds in love, urban vinyl artistically posed, precious family moments, and his crazed buddy hangout sessions, all taken in the beauty and diversity of the Hawaiian Islands.

Specifically in the urban arena, Hook has been reeled in for his photographic skill and talent by the likes of Angry Woebots, CKaweeks, Pancho Abalos, 2H and Peekaboo, just to name a few. Because of him being in such high demand, John Hook was recruited to be the official photographer for the “Feed My Tummy” show some six months ago in the planning stages of this event. Posted above are Scribe's, Leecifer's, and Squidnik!

For the event photoshoot for the “Feed My Tummy” show, John had a vision in mind, “The concept I had of the shoot being that these figures invade a kitchen in a restaurant in search of some food so they could ‘Feed My Tummy”. The Tummy customs, created by Marine Randamhi, an Indonesian native, for this event photo shoot were customized by the very talented Scribe, Leecifer and Squidnik.

The “Feed My Tummy” show will make it’s public debut on December 1st, at Prototype’s Ala Moana store location from 6-9pm, and will feature a total of 15 different artists from across the globe.

"Urban Storytellers" Opening Reception @ Inkies!

folks checkin out the gallery
This past weekend the art show "Urban Storytellers" had its opening reception at Inkies Tattoo Studio in Fremont, CA. I must say I was rather nervous about the outcome of the show at the beginning of the day, but as things came together I found that my nerves were starting to calm down. So the opening reception started at 7:00PM with a huge crowd taking up most of the space at Inkies! The artists that were in attendance were LilJapan, Pellet, Joey Boy, and a few others. There were works up from artist around the globe such as Peap Tarr, Olla-Boku, Troy Stith, Paul Shih, Patrick Francisco, and from local artists as well! There was an open sushi bar and a DJ spinning on the turn tables right behind the Sushi bar! The vibe was great, the crowd was chill, and it was a fun place to be at on a Saturday night! I'll have all the art work up for sale on my website as soon as I get things set up. So if you would like to get your loved ones a nice piece of art for the Holidays; keep your eyes out for the Urban Storytellers gallery artwork to be posted up online! The gallery will be up until December 5th so if you can make your way to Inkies in Fremont, CA. I suggest you do so!
