BOOTH #5045, ALERT:
Destroy, meaning a total orgasmatron of artful, handmade toy-ish goodies for the slightly taller take charge bros and gals out there.
First up (above), in this corner standing at 3 and three quarters inches, is the amazing Ron English doing what he does best (aided by the laudable Mr. George Gaspar). Yes, it's 'Action MC' and MC Supersized is smaller than ever and carded for your pleasure. Holy whoppers, Batgirl, this gold-chained donning clown is an all-bases-loaded home run. And you can get this cat for one hundred smackers (tax included!)...keep in mind there will be a set edition of a mere 50 units on this lil' lovely!
PS: Special Ed Toys, we luv you!
No Con is worthy of its travel coin without its true outtakes on ye olde Star Wars. Here at GOFN you may have noticed that, at times, though we don't do it too often, we have made it a habit to genuflect in the presence of a supreme SW custom. If effect you are getting the gold here, in the form of a 45 record...it's pretend, so we have no clue as to what might be on the accompanying vinyl (but we got a hint that it's probably going to be vint-age cantina songs or something or other - wink), hopefully it's that "scratch that's making me itch"! Banji girls and boys will clamor for this very limited edition of only twenty, people! This R2-SL1200 pops its top for you, what more do you want? Thanks to Artbot138 (James Garrett) we think these will each have unique covers as a throwback to the vintage days of swinging singles. Oh yeah...and this one is a relatively cheap $65. Drop your piggybank now.
PLAIN OLD APES: Next up gets my full attention. With a waning "market" for Apes-related collectibles in the past 18 months or so it's only a savvy maker like Barely Human (John Black) who would have the cahones to bring this one. Oh, and with a flair for the current mishegas in our nation's capital. Who wore that mane best, Trump or Dr. Zaius? Look no further as the answer is loud and clear right here my friends! And he's got magnetic articulated limbs no less (and normal sized clutched fists). Go ahead and 'Make America Ape Again'. He's 3.75" of swell ingenuity and we want him in out collection to carry everywhere this season...please! Mind you, with only twenty-five of these hand painted babies in the universe, it's now or never.
SOMETHIN' BLUE, SOMETHIN' SNAGGLETOOTH: SkipBroToys x Field of Grey are reelin' round the fountain here. a clear figure in a clear carded case, such clarity, and there will only be 20 of these mystery men floating at this year's fest. At $80 this 3.75" 'naut is ready to be seen and not heard.
SAMO SIZE: On last year's heels of the Art Trooper, here comes not Warhol, but one of his most astonishing protégés, Jean-Michel Basquiat, all suited-up as a Stormtrooper. This is a nice surprise and we long to review this ans add it to our fine collection of like subliminal objet d'art. The card art looks colorful and delish. I met the man way back when, and to think I could carry his visage, as a keepsake, in the palm of my hand, makes me smile a mile.
A big hollah to the incredible minds that are scratching the surface and spinning witty, ironic and force-to-be-reckoned with attitude this year! Oh, and this is just the first of several announcements forthcoming from our beloved friends at DKE Toys...stay tuned lovelies!
