We posted about this plush
back in August of last year, and come to find out these have been several years in the making, and were long delayed by a severely flood-damaged factory facility in China... but now
Brian "Candykiller" Taylor's awesome Coney plush is ready to find it's way into YOUR home!
Produced by
Bigshot Toyworks each
14" tall Coney is made of high-quality canvas, and screen-printed with Candykiller's stellar "Coney" character artwork. The base is weighted, allowing the plush figure to stand on its own! A color version will be available through retailers, while a super-limited Mono version is will only be available direct from Bigshot Toyworks online store
HERE! There is also a great looking "Coney Cloud" which measures
14" around, and is full embroidered on both sides. The red Coney and Coney Cloud plush figures will
retail for $30.00 each, but if your diggin all of them the only way to get the mono version is to pull the trigger
at the $100 mark HERE... which you will get all three.

THE WINNER IS
Thanks to all that participated... we had 69 entries... you guys ROCK HARD!!!! Congrats to
Taryn for guessing "
Trying not to look too much at other guesses, I'll say the chase figure is gray". So the way Ryan picked was he wrote down those that selected either Black or Gray, then out of those used Random.org and Taryn was picked. Ryan says "
I want to say thanks to everyone that posted and to those that have left comments on twitter, here and the forums on the pieces. It has been a lot of fun transposing doodles from my project list to Dunnys. I am looking forward to continuing to develop this character and already have some things in the works. Keep an eye out on my twitter, flickr and facebook for WIP shots...I like to keep a record of what I am working on to help me see the progress I have made."... and look what the winner gets to take home... awesome!!!!

Posted up on the
KRonikle is a teaser at an upcoming 8" Dunny designed artist
Tim Tsui. Now we did some diggin and found a very similar looking design that he did on a Munny for Kidrobot's MunnyWorld exhibition. I am thinking we can expect something very similar in design this coming June. Now is it just me or does
this close up on the face really do this an injustice, the line work on the face does not look too clean, and there is some noticeable overspray, I hope this is just an artist proof. This another 8"er that will set you back $75, and these are going to released in a very large quantity 1000 to be exact. What are your thoughts on "Da Space Warrior"? This is not for me, but I am sure others are freaking out right now :-) I will personally stick with Tim's amazing Da Minci figures!

I just noticed up on the
LeLab Facebook site that they have just recently released a template for a mini version of their Playing Art figure... and according to the template the figures are only going to
stand a lil over 3" tall. They have also posted up a color sample of a design by artist
Stenkat. Now although there is nothing for reference in the picture, the figure does appear to be smaller in nature. So does this all mean there is going to be a mini-series, time will tell, in the meantime, download the template
HERE and get to work.

edition of 25 where all profits go to
New Orleans Musician's Clinic Ritzy says that "After being asked to participate, I was going to go in an entirely different direction but was inspired by HBO's new show Treme. We can't forget the existing problems here in states. Save the music, Save your Soul" This is so true... pick up your print now for only $25
HERE!
If that's not enough, more news on the way from Ritzy comes in the form of an awesome collab between
Doze Green x
Rakaa x
Ritzy Periwinkle for
Rakkaa's long awaited debut solo album,
Crown of Thorns available everywhere on 7/20. The cover art is an original painting by Doze Green called "Lord Enlil", and Ritzy did up the new Rakaa logo and graphic design of the project... and it looks dope!!!! Keep hustlin girl, all your hard work is obviously paying off!

DrilOne continues to push the limit of his military style of customizing with this fantastic
"ONS-5109 Sushi Mine" custom on Andrew Bell's rad O-No Sushi platform. This turned out amazing, and is one of the only custom O-No's I have seen. The added barnacles, chains, rust and rivets really bring this custom over the top. This custom alone has so many parts, and to be able to tie them all together as once complete package... I applaud you good sir! More pics over on his Flickr
HERE!
