SS.com readers are the best... that being said, we have just been sent some really cool images and information regarding some new kids meal toys, from the land down under!
Hungry Jack's (the Australian arm of Burger King) appears to be stepping up their kids meal toys, and although we don't usually cover stuff like this on our site... how could we not, I mean... they are monsters! The theme for this new series is "
Monsters of the World", and features fun representations of mythological creatures from around the world... and as you can see from the image above we have the Cyclops, the Yeti, and the Bunyip (an Australian mythological creature). These are due to be in Australian Hungry Jack's restaurants within the next couple of months and are included with the kid's meals... pretty cool! So I guess if you like what you see, and your not in Australia, time to find a mule and tell them to order up some kids meals for you.

As per our previous post
HERE and
HERE, we are getting closer and closer to the next step in our efforts, with the help from Scott W. over at
Shinbone Creative, to take the SpankyStokes.com "Stroll" mascot into 3D form... and ultimately ready for toy production. In the image above, not much was tweaked except for the legs. At first they were facing straight ahead... I asked Scott if he could angle them out a little... and as you can see, it gives our "Stroll" just the right amount of attitude, with the slightest adjustment! Next... we move onto the texture/detail aspect of the figure.... where it really comes to life. If you are looking to get a figure created and fully realized...
Shinbone Creative is your ticket, hit them up! More on the progress of our "Stroll" very soon!

Trenton M. has crafted this adorably simple 2-inch tall resin kitty, the first in his new "The Cat Collective" series, and entitled her "Lily." She's a DIY Blank figure that comes bagged with a header card and, while a little rough around the edges, she could be a lot of fun to paint up. Available for only a limited time, Lily costs $15 each from
HERE.

The above pictured pieces by Julie B. & her
Pretty in Plastic crew haven't been confirmed as part of the upcoming "The Breaking Bad Art Project" group show at
Gallery1988 Melrose, curated by
Breaking Gifs, it seems highly likely that they are. These chemical drums are marked just like those found in the Season 4 episode of
Breaking Bad "Shotgun." And, for those that don't read Chinese,
fēng (蜂) means wasp or bee.
"The Breaking Bad Art Project," presented by
Breaking Gifs, opens on August 20th from 7-10PM at
Gallery1988, 7020 Melrose Ave., Los Angeles, CA 90038.

JFury's custom Kidrobot Mascot figure, "Bad Lollipop," is like an inverse mullet: party in the front, business in the back… Yes, based on his design for the "
Battle of the Mascots" series (seen
HERE), this disturbingly evil looking clown is offering forth a lollipop while concealing a blood-spayed hatchet behind his back! Per usual, JFury's execution is great; his control of lines and color, fine sculpting details, everything just comes together right. This piece was a commission, so it is not for sale; but you can always
contact him about a commission of your own.

Possibly the most dapper looking version of the
Super7 mascot yet, "Pocket Invisiboy Blue" dresses the pint-sized mummy in a smoking jacket with an ascot. The 3-inch tall figure is cast in white
sofubi (soft Japanese vinyl) and has a slow blue fade of color sprayed on along with some black & maroon detailing. Designed by company head honcho
Brian Flynn, this fantastic new edition comes packaged in a bag with header card for only $25 each starting Thursday, August 16th, 2012 at 12 Noon PST in the
Super7 web shop.

When you say the word "steampunk" within the Designer Toy world, it's almost impossible not to think of Doktor A… and while David Ten of the
10th Street Gallery certainly was inspired by steampunk, and quite possibly Doktor A, I feel he's taken the very broad concept on a personalized journey; or, in other words, he put his own spin on it. Set to be released in an edition of 10 copies — including 2 variants — Ten is gearing up for his first "toy" release: the Mini Spider Bot. Each faux mechanized figure stands 4-inches tall and 5.5-inches wide, coming with the glass dome and wood display base. While these pieces aren't cheap — $150 each to be specific — they certainly look to be worth the expense for a fan of the style. The Mini Spider Bots will go on sale August 21st

Following up on the
previously revealed custom 3-inch Dunny by
PJ Constable, paintbrush has been set to sculpted vinyl and the figure is becoming alive. Based off of the character of "Fionna" from
Adventure Time, we've been marveling at the skillful work of Constable and awaiting — with baited breath — the final result! So far, our wait has not been in vain… Constable's paint application seems as clean as his sculpting, which is saying quite a bit.

Mr. Clement is gearing up for his debut solo show here in the States, which he's been posting teaser images of new works for the show. Included in the pictures are images of what appears to be a life-size Petit Lapin Museum 2012: Please Forget Me figure (his iconic Lapin design with the head as a mask with a skull underneath). The 'standard' size edition of the Please Forget Me figure is being released in a black colorway for the show, which is great considering both the white and grey versions of this 10-inch vinyl piece sold out quickly. And, in what appears to be a paint splattered edition, we have the Colorful Lapins…
The "Lapin World Tour-L.A" opens on August 25th and runs through September 12th, 2012 at
Toy Art Gallery (TAG), 7571 Melrose Ave. (corner of Melrose & Curson), Los Angeles, CA 90046.
