Play Imaginative's Trexi gets a new look!

If anyone knows me as a collector, you know that I like some pretty specific things when it comes to designer toys... and one of those things is the Trexi platform by Play Imaginative. Up until this past Sunday this figure has pretty much stayed the same size and shape of many years, and the flagship size in which we are all familar with, the 3" version, is about to go to the wayside... because they just announced a brans spankin 'New Edition' Trexi. This new figure is just a tad bit smaller, measuring in at 2.5"... it also features a re-vamped rotatable head, and articulated arms and legs... so you can make Trexi's look like they are running :-) It's been a long time coming for these, and I look forward to adding the new figure line to my collection!

What's new with Blamo Toys... a whole lot!!!!!

So let's talk Blamo, shall we... as not only do they have some exciting news to carry us to the end of the year, but they also have some REALLY EXCITING news that is happening the first week of January 2012, so lets dive right in! Blamo is stoked to announce that they will be having their biggest solo show yet, and it's their 2nd show at Los Angeles's Toy Art Gallery. Opening Saturday, January 7th at T.A.G.'s expansive new store front on Melrose Avenue, this show will offer Blamo fans a glance at new toys, exclusive colorways, one-of-a-kind oversized pieces, original art work by Spencer Hansen and Aleph Geddis, special Blamo clothing and more. This show is not to be missed... I know I am going to try my best to be there for this, and hopefully I will see you there!

Up next is a very familiar face... and it's also their Holiday exclusive, a jolly little gentleman, "Snowman Hug"! First spotted at SDCC 2011, this 3" resin figure created by Blamo Toys and customized for the holidays by Blamo's own Mikie Graham is a limited edition of 6 pieces, and is currently available for $35 HERE! Each Snowman hug is a one-of-a-kind custom that features splattered paint intended to replicate the tiny imperfections inherent in all snowmen. Each snowman hug comes with a hand sculpted carrot nose, coal buttons and a tiny pair of inset brass button eyes... a great look for this seriously cute figure!

They are also happy to release their newest knit onesie... the Monkey suit!! This hand-knit onesie comes in size XS-XL and features monkey ear's, thumb holes, and a wired tail that enables each monkey to twist and tweak his or her tail into any shape they desire. These crowd pleasing snuggly jumpsuits cost $225 and are currently available HERE.

Lastly, unless you have been living under a rock you know about the recent opening of Blamo Toy's 3rd annual custom toy show, "The Epic Adventures of Swampy McSwamperton." The results of these customs were as varied as the artists invited, and many of the customs have already sold, but there are still some one of a kind Swampy's for sale in their webstore HERE... which by the way would make for a fantastic holiday gift... just saying!

“Jellyface loves Finland”... no really they do, and that's the name of thier solo show!

So check this out, the folks over at Jellyface launched a solo exhibition titled “Jellyface loves Finland” at the Fiskars Village Artist in Residence on December 2nd, and is running until the 23rd! Along with some old characters, they also have on display a ton of new ones including: "Jellystone", "Jellyworm", "Jellytangle" "Deer" and some "Foetuses". All these new characters plus Jellymussell (SDCC 2011) will be available in January 2012 at the Jellyface online shop. These are some seriously cool looking plush figures... and if you have a chance to see them in person, better yet, buy one... you will see that they are quality! One of the things I like about the exhibit is the way that all of trhem were displayed... all strune about, lumped up in piles... something about seeing them in mass quantities really gets me going.
