If you love bootleg art action figures, DKE has you covered once again at DesignerCon [booth 812]. As usual, they are breaking up their massive list of releases into parts, three this time. Here’s the first grouping which features some very interesting toys.
Let’s start with the third and last—boo!—Star Wars-themed figure from Mark Todd. STR WAS: DTH VDR (3.75”, 30 s/n pcs, $55) has a crazy, eclectic sculpt which nicely captures the artist’s drawing style as seen on the sweet backing card. With Halloween just around the corner, Freddy Frett (3.75”, 30 s/n pcs, $65) by Credenda Studios is quite timely. Staying with the frightful, the twisted mind of Wolf Pits brings us the Preacher Creature (4”, 25 s/n pieces, $55). While bootleggers tend to focus on a few beloved cinematic franchises, it’s nice to see something a bit out ouf the box such as A Life Day Story—with Apologies to Ralphie—by Buzzard Guts. Finally we’ll close things out with Scum & Villainy – Wretched Ball by UME Toys (3”, 20 s/n pcs, $65) featuring a fun OG sculpt.
