LASK’s Toy Drive @ DesignerCon
The cool dudes from LASK (LA Skull Krew) are running a toy drive at this Saturday’s DesignerCon (11.21) in Pasadena. They are asking people to bring new unwrapped mainstream toys (not designer vinyl) which will then be donated to Toys for Tots. Why not vinyl ? They are made for adults and not children – hence the 13+ or 15+ labels on the boxes.

Frank Kozik x Muttpop -- Ocran Ocinatas Tequila
You’re eye to eye with Frank Kozik's time-warp lovin' Ocran Ocinatas Tequila from Muttpop. Hmm ? Back on June 6th 2006 (6/6/6), Muttpop released Frank Kozik's El Brujo Narco Satanico Tequila exclusively through Vinyl Pulse. Fast forward to today and there's an alternate version of the figure -- an inverse colorway if you will. By reversing Narco Satanico we get Ocran Ocinatas (try saying that five times fast).
While Muttpop isn't quite ready for a full drop of this 'cinatas' figure, they are going to drop a very limited advance supply of Ocran Ocinatas Tequila at their DesignerCon booth (#45) this Saturday, November 21st in Pasadena. If you want to be one of the first to own this piece, you know which booth to hit up first.

Freshmanila x Jomike Tejido - Robotars
