David Horvath and Sun Min Kim’s UGLYCON, a celebration of all things UGLY, is slowly but surely taking over the world. First it was LA and then SF. Now the land of the rising sun. UGLYCON Tokyo opens on Friday October 10th @ Stitch in Tokyo [6 –9 PM]. The show will feature plenty of goodness from David and Sun-Min but will also showcase UGLY art from Gargamel, Dehara, Touma, Mori Chack, T9G, Devilrobots,
Mad Barbarians, Nao (Wrecks).
In term of toys, what we know so far from the UGLYBLOG is that David and Sun-Min have worked with Gargamel to create the Super Puncher Pocket Kaiju which will debut at UGLYCON in an exclusive Yokai edition. The figure captures the spirit of toy collecting with a humorous backstory of a lonely otaku who after collecting too many Super Puncher toys died and returned as the Super Puncher Yokai Robot ghost. The figure has two-faces – Lonely Otaku and Super Puncher.
Finally, overseas collectors are in luck – Stitch will offer available pieces through email (no phone orders) starting on October 14th @ 11 AM (Japan Time) which breaks down to Monday October 13th 7 PM PDT.
