Eric Liem wanted to create some toys that represent the movement of street culture in Jakarta, Indonesia. He has done just that with his J-Town Urban Da’Crew resin figures. This set features Doom, Spice, Vandal, whom of which are the first 3 characters of this soon to be growing series. They also come in handmade wood packaging with a Certificate of Authenticity. If you are interested, feel free to contact Eric at ilovephantasma[at]gmail[dot]com. They will go for approximately $130 a set.
DOOM
“Scratchin’ to beats that are not from this world.”
DOOM works at a vinyl record shop, scratch DJ-ing at underground clubs
part-time. He’s been in love with hip-hop ever since his late big
brother, BIG-D, gave him his first Grandmaster Flash record. BIG-D
also taught him to draw graffiti, which DOOM often does in his
pastime. DOOM hasn’t been very talkative since his older brother died;
some say he was killed by gangsters, but no one knows for sure.SPICE
“Roll with me or get outta my way.”
Rollerblade skater. Freestyle rapper. Street artist. A sweet girl who
lures you in, then kicks your ass. DOOM met SPICE in an underground
hip-hop gig where she did a freestyle rap to the record he was
spinning. They say she’s actually the daughter of the biggest triad in
Jakarta, her father owning nearly the whole city. Story has it, she
walks under the shadow of an invisible ninja—touch her and before you
know it, your head will roll to the ground.VANDAL
“You can’t catch me even on 24 frames per second.”
A crazy boy with ADD who can breakdance like nobody’s business, VANDAL
is like an own brother to DOOM. Nobody knows where VANDAL works,
although there are stories around of him secretly working with makers
of military weapons and tanks. There’s reasonable proof that VANDAL
actually has a superior IQ; he just can’t seem to focus on one thing
at a time. “If you give him Rasta monsta, it’ll fast-forward him, like
a bullet in full speed. Play games with him, and he’ll break the
console.”
