A Mushroom Singing And Dancing Beyonce...


I know that this is something not usually covered but with all the cute stuffed plush in our scene today I thought that this could fit. Let me introduce you to the "Super Sprowtz!" These stuffed vegetables are not only cute but are meant to help spread awareness for healthier lifestyles. Each vegetable is individually named like Miki the Mushroom or Colby the Carrot and each one has their own unique personality. I personally love the different facial expressions used on each vegetable. And do you know of any other vegetables that have their own rap music video? If you would like to watch the rap video click HERE. Or if Beyonce is more of your flavor then click HERE to watch Miki the Mushroom help cover "All The Single Veggies."If you are interested in finding out more information on "Super Sprowtz" then please click HERE.

SEN's duo of anime inspired custom Munnys!

We have a duo of fresh of customs from SEN, mainly based on the Munny platform. Above we have the Neon Genesis Evangelion-inspired custom "EVA-00." Lots of intricate sculpting to create the Evangelion armor and he did a great job. I'd comment on how off-putting the solid colors look, but I think it perfectly recalls early animation styles… so it completely works!
And his second one is a set, the Munny and Dunny combo known as "Jack & Leo: Last Hunter." According to SEN, this is "a warrior surviving in [a] post apocalyptic world, accompanied by a loyal friend from the animal world." I love the detail sculpting and clothing here, so fantastic… but those accessories really put me over the top. Amazing!

Who Is Ready For Something Hot?...


Chili pepper hot that is! "Pepe" is hand carved out of wood by Italian designer Antonio. This cute little pepper is part of a collection titled "Papuzze." Some character details from Antonio about "Pepe" is that he is a world traveler, loves soccer, the sea and marine life. I personally love the simplicity and the idea behind this character and think it is all around cute. Word is that Antonio is currently working on a vinyl version of this character. If you would like to find out more information on "Pepe" please click HERE.

Banksy serves up a free downloadable poster for The Queen's Diamond Jubilee!

To celebrate The Queen's Diamond Jubilee, Pictures On Walls has organized a series of prints by some amazing street artists. Entitled their "Jubilee Special," they're "celebrating 60 years of just waving and smiling and doing essentially naff all." Most had extremely small print runs and have already sold out, but there is one notable exception: Banksy did a design that he's giving you for free! Pictured above, "Er…" is a large format download "for the more ambivalent patriot" and you're encouraged to print the image on anything you want (for personal use only, not resale). You can download the image from HERE.

Focus Blue Diamond Ninja, Focus...


Inspired by the Karate Kid, this Ninja is here to teach you how important balancing oneself is. Continuing with his Ninja themed customs, Tony Gil has created this awesome "Focus Blue Diamond Ninja, Focus" custom Munny. It is crazy seeing how this little guy can balance only on one leg. It would take forever for me to even figure out how to properly balance anything! "Blue Diamond Ninja" retails for $110 and comes from an edition of 5. If you are interested in picking one up please click HERE!

Sekure D's The Fantastic Jouwe custom is… fantastic!

Sekure D appears to have used the same amazing looking process he employed to create his "Battle of the Mascots" customs in order to craft this Fantastic Four inspired Jouwe one-off. The 11" vinyl figure has been covered in those multi-colored plates of varying sizes to resemble the orange rock skin of comic book hero "The Thing," even wearing his traditional FF shorts. The stony detailing to the horns looks spot on and the eyes have a wonderful color shift in them. The belly, which exposes Sekure D's tendriled heap logo, seems slightly out-of-place but excellently executed. The gritted teeth, with their exposed lips, do seem a little strange to my eye, but I they still look astonishingly well done. This piece is currently available for $400 in Sekure D's online shop.

Kidrobot's 2012 Dunny Series: MAD, Tara McPherson & Triclops Studio reveals!


Several artists have now issued images of their produced pieces from 2012's Kidrobot 3" Dunny series, and seeing things in actual vinyl is way better then the previously seen teaser sheet. Up top we have a full case box image, as designed by KRONK, which — in this instance — contains Jeremy "MAD" Madl's AP copies. The four sub-pictures are of MAD's actual "Vandal Dunny" from various angles plus a pic of the included artist card. There's a lot of cool little details here, including the RustOleum style cans and the Black Book in his back pocket.
On the above left, we have Triclops Studio's "The Sword Swallower" Dunny… I was a bit non-plused by this design on paper, but the three-dimensional rendition is so fantastically cute & funny. And finally we have Tara McPherson's piece, in both the regular and chase variant (black) colorways! I'm sure we can expect even more to be popping up in the next couple of days…
