*REVIEW* MAD's "Bent World Beats" AP vinyl series!!!

Originally created/concepted about the same time as his now released "Bent World Vandal" series, MAD has been sitting on these designs, biding his time, and now his "Bent World Beats" saw the light of day as a mini-figure series produced by Kidrobot! This is really great news as before The Pitch Music Showcase used a few of these characters in a shirt that MAD designed for them, which by the way sold for only $7 back in July of 2009! I am a HUGE fan of MAD's work so when the opportunity arose to get a full Artist Proof set of these, I jumped on it, and above you can watch the entire video of me unboxing each figure. It may be a little long, but since I did it LIVE, there is some crowd interaction which makes it fun :-) On top of the mini-Series, and unannounced to alot of people was a really cool exclusive 3 pack dubbed "2 Turntables & a Microphone" that features just that... 3” tall, two vinyl Mr. Spins and a Mr. MC in a red and gold paint variant. These Bent World Beats feature articulating arms and premium window box packaging.

The "Bent World Beats" mini-figure line is way better than I anticipated them to be, and the fact that it features 19 new characters including Mr. Spins, Da Jam, Taps, Boomer and Plugged... where comes in two versions “Studio” that are nice and clean and a “Tour” which are broken and battered... very similar to MAD's "Bent World Vandal" series where there were clean/dirty versions! Although, the OG illustrations from MAD featured other characters like the Harmonica, Sax, and VIP Pass, these did not make the cut... then again, their may be a 2nd series?!?! These are a ton of fun and fit right in with the rest of MAD's stylistic mini-figure characters such as his Bent-World Vandals, Spraycans, and BoOoya Ghost's! These have been out for some time now, but still hold up... so if you are a musician, a vinyl collector, or just a fan of cool looking toys, these are for you. You can find them at most all designer retail shops for under $10 a piece now... and I would totally recommended you doing so.
