Eslite x Toy2r Qee Series – Toy2R Fonts Bear
As part of the Eslite x Toy2R Qee Saves world exhibition in Taiwan, the two brands have asked top Taiwanese designers and celebrities to create a series of five 2.5” Qees (below). Digging these – visually pleasing. As a follow-on, Toy2R has created a special version of the Fonts Bear figure with a full transparent front (the regular ed. has just a transparent head).
Kaijin – Exhibition @ Stitch (12.22)
Kaijin’s exhibition @ Stitch in Japan just got underway a few hours ago. In addition to the previously mentioned Mischief Devil CoCo’s (white and pink), Kaijin has prepped several art pieces including 12 custom Mischief Devil CoCos, 4 custom Fulcraims,7 hand-painted pieces, 20 rough sketches and 3 original hand-made figures.

Comet Debris – 2010 Lucky Bag Preview
Earlier today we posted about Koji Harmon’s Comet Debris 2010 Lucky Bags. Knowing that you’re going to get a custom Tokoji Seijin or Tokoji Seiju is one thing, seeing an example of what you might find inside is another ;) Orders are being accepted until January 1st -- $125 per bag.
Devilrobots x Fewmany – Peck Winter Exhibition (12.21)
Peck lives. Several years ago Devilrobots created Peck, a cute bird figure, for the Fewmany boutique in Japan. Fast forward to 2009 and we have the Peck Winter Exhibition which opened last night (12.21) in Japan. The group show features custom Pecks from a talented roster of mostly Japanese artists and designers. From the show setup pics on Fewmany’s site, it looks like most of the artists stuck with the figure’s basic shape – content to paint or add some custom sculpted details. Gumliens turned their Peck into a retro styled girl doll with a custom torso and a rubber band.

Scribe – Six Time Lapse Graffiti Videos
Scribe cut his teeth painting on walls and he still finds time to paint on the streets of Kansas city. Phil Koening has been documenting the graffiti of Scribe and a few friends. Today he released three more videos including “Goat” (above). So far that brings the tally to six. Three more will drop each Monday until all thirteen have been seen.
Gold Coin x Argonaut Resins – Stick Up! Third Wave: Skittles (12.23)
For the third wave of his Stick Up! resin figure, Three of Gold Coin found inspiration within a rainbow of colors. Each of the five figures in the ‘Skittles’ drop feature a different flavor – color scheme (Tropicana, Limon, Lemon Head, Booya Berry and Black Berry). Though they are shown limbless here, rest assured they will be full outfitted with bendy limbs and money bag accessory when they drop this Wednesday, December 23rd @ Noon EST from the Argonaut Resins web shop.
Emilio Garcia – 2” Jumping Brain
Emilio Garcia’s Jumping Brain’s jump to vinyl is getting closer and closer. Toy2R is showing several of the figures from the upcoming 2” Jumping Brain blind-boxed series. As you might expect from Emilio’s resin releases – RGB and CMYK are represented. Here’s hoping that the colors are as vivid as seen in this flier.
Phil Lumbang – Cool Bear Print
Phil Lumbang has released ‘Cool Bear’, his first fine art print. This single-color print (18” x 24”) is limited to 50 signed and numbered pieces. He also released 10 HPM’s though these have already sol out. Lumbang has a nice relaxed style – check it out. [Seen on ObeyGiant].
Koji Harmon – Comet Debris 2010 Lucky Bags

Shawnimals – Kidrobot Exclusive Icognito Wee Sticker
Think you’ve seen all of Shawnimals’ Wee Sticker vinyls from adFunture ? There’s one more morsel to consume – Kidrobot’s Exclusive Incognito Wee Sticker. Limited to 200 pieces, this one’s rockin’ a ‘stache – perhaps the original disguise. You can add one to your pantry for $29.95.
adFunture’s Christmas Yokas
Looks like adFunture has two holiday Yokas on tap – a gingerbread man design + a red/yellow bear design from KaNo (based on his recent custom seen at DesignerCon).
Jamfactory – Droplets S2 Sneak Peek
Jamfactory’s Droplets S2 are right around the corner. Dropping on February 6th from Crazy Label, the new figs look to surpass the mark set by the first series. Very nice designs – shown without the tentacles [Via @Jamfactory].
Lamour Supreme x Itokin Park Collab
The Lamour Supreme x Itokin Park collab is taking form and looking pretty bad ass in the process. Designed by Lamour Supreme and sculpted by Kazuhiko (Itokin Park), this bat beholder hybrid has a creepy cute look that’s sure to appeal. Apparently slated as a resin figure, we’re definitely looking forward to seeing more of this one.
Kaijin x One Up – Musyubel Sample
Looks like One Up will show samples of what may become one more new editions of Kaijin’s Musyubel figure at his exhibition which opens on the 22nd at Stitch. There’s not much info yet, but judging by the pics the impressive paint job is reminiscent of some of One Up’s previous collaborations with Instinct Toy. Digging these – always good to push paint applications and techniques forward. [Seen @ One Up].
