Staple "Tire Pigeon" from Kidrobot... not so much!
Back in August, we posted up HERE a really cool - super stylized - vinyl pigeon figure titled "Bellator Columbidae" The Fighting Pigeon which was a collaboration between Staple Design and adFunture Workshop... well, just last week Kidrobot announced a new vinyl pigeon figure, which was from Staple Design as well (yup)... except this one seems to fall a little short, in my opinion. Dubbed the "Staple Tire Pigeon", this 7" vinyl figure has a hint of Staypuft/Michelin Man in him, and seeing as he's limited to 800 pieces worldwide, I can't help but think New Yorkers are the only ones who will appreciate this, as it does nothing for me... Nevertheless if you dig what you see, it's set to drop on November 3rd for $75 a pop. Oh, and Jeff Staple himself will be doing a signing/release tour for this, so if you are in New York on the 3rd, and Los Angeles on the 4th, be sure to visit the local Kidrobot stores from 6pm-8pm!

"Sasuke" the Ninja and "Simo" the Samurai by Mone
Check out this awesome pair of customs from artist Simone aka Mone, as he did these up as a commission for a friend of his who wanted them in Japanese style... and above its the result. He used a custom 5" MAD'L 5", and a custom 4" Mini-Munny to create these two Samurai's! Titled "Sasuke" the Ninja and "Simo" the Samurai, "they both fight together to defeat the evil that now prevails in our reality, with their noble spirit and wisdom prevail over the barbarity of our day!" I really like the detailing on both of these customs, top notch work for sure! For more from Mone, visit his facebook page HERE!

Custom 8" Yeti Dunny from Pause Designs
This amazing custom comes to us courtesy of Pause Designs and it's just plain sick!! Done as a commission for an avid yeti collector, this 8" upside-down dunny is sculpted perfectly and has a killer paintjob to boot. I absolutely love how he kept the overall shape of the dunny intact while making it completely new and different. I noticed the dunny right away, but for those of you who can't see it check the pic at right and you will see.... it's all there and more! Hit up the Pause website for more pics and other rad stuff and contact him for a commission here.
