October Toys has just released their series 001 of the Gwins.
What is a Gwin you ask? Well, you have come to right place. The shape
of a Gwin is a penguin but it is more than just your ordinary flippered
marine bird. Gwin is a creature based on Tux, the Linux mascot,
created by Larry Ewing & The GIMP.The first army consist of 9 Gwins
by artists Mimic, Doktor A, Eric Treadaway, Nixon Scratches, SpookyAMD,
and idlechimp.
I first saw these in person a few months ago at SDCC. George and
Ayleen, the peeps behind October Toys were utterly personable like
their little creature friend. The Gwins, slightly 3 inches tall, sit
comfortably on their wide bottoms, a direct result of spending all of their
time eating and sleeping.The designs range from the confused
Gwin Rubber_D (duck or penguin?) to Doktor A’s self destructive "Hard
To Swallow". Get moving and get your Gwin Army!!!
