Evil Icecream "Creepsicles" Polystone Figure
Creepsicles Polystone figures created by the folks over at Evil Icecream are popsicles that are joined at the hip, knowing that two brains are better than one! These are made of Polystone and each come with base as shown. They stand about 6" tall, and retail for about $20!

Large Martin WWRp by ThreeA Toys
This is just getting outta control... but in a good way at least for me, since I don't have to worry about buying all of these amazing releases (sorry all you ThreeA fan boys, your wallets must be screaming about now). Just posted up on the ThreeA production blog are these awesome Martin figures... actually showcasing the size of the very compact Martin WWRp(left), the smaller more affordable piece! Honestly it is all pure envy, I want these so bad it hurts, such awesome figures, bravo ThreeA! No news on a release date or price, just a sweet teaser.

Joe Ledbetter X Fully Visual... ride again!
Awww yeah, just when you thought Fully Visual couldn't get any more cooler, they just did with a really cool teaser featuring the work of Joe Ledbetter... but what could it be, could it be a smaller version of the Mr. Bunny seen on the left here... if you remember seeing this over on Vinyl Pulse these were much larger and retailed for $5,000... I think this version will be a little bit more manageable for all of use to swallow come purchase time!

"Going Postal" book by Martha Cooper
Postal stickers have long been a preferred substrate used by street artists to get up. Of course, because stickers from the US Postal Service, UPS, DHL and FedEx are so readily available, most of these stickers get lost in the fray, especially if you don't know what you're looking for.
That's where graffiti photography legend Martha Cooper comes in. Shooting the origins of hip-hop and graffiti cultures since the late 1970s in New York City, and later all over the world, Cooper's well-trained eyes know how to recognize deft sticker art. Here then is a collection of more than 200 photographs of some of Cooper's favorite handmade postal stickers from around the world, done by some of the scene's better-known artists and the anonymous.
Cooper has compiled a collection of photographs shot in numerous cities, including New York City, Philadelphia, San Francisco, Tokyo, Berlin and Amsterdam, featuring postal-sticker art created by FAUST, STAIN, C.DAMAGE, GET2, COSBE and many more.
Going Postal documents how an old-school method has burgeoned into another rich facet of the world's graffiti cultures. Page Count: 96, Size: 6 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches, Format: Casebound with a cover price of $10, pick one up HERE!

8" BIC Buddy teaser from Marka27
So this is not confirmed as of yet but after close inspection of the images, and then looking at the smaller 3" version of the BIC Buddy platform there are many similarities... so I am going to jump to conclusions and say that this is going to be a production run of an 8" BIC Buddy designed by Marka27. No this leads me to believe there may be more in the works and in that case, I am super pumped! Stay tuned for more info/images as they come in!

MCA x Shin Tanaka "Ape" Hoophy
Once again Shin Tanaka has teamed up with an awesome artist to collab on his paper Hoophy figure and this time around he got MCA on board, and best part about these designs is that they are FREE downloads... assembly required :-) As you can see for the above image MCA designed his ape figure wearing a nice bright pink hoody... rad!

Goodbye Dunnys! Open Box Dunnys are History!
Our beautiful Strangekiss staff has just finished counting all the inventory for open blind box dunny's. Kidrobot has instructed them to seal up open blindbox and since they follow what their vendors tell us as retailers, as they would hope Strangekiss retailers would follow their terms if set forth.
They might not agree with this, but what are we to do. Kidrobot is a important factor in the designer vinyl market. That is a long way from where they began as a eBay store many years back. So shortly after you get a chance to read it, all open box Dunny's will be gone from Strangekiss. HERE is a link to what is left and it will go fast... but a new hot series of Dunny's are coming in a few weeks... blindboxed and sealed to note.
