Who wouldn’t want a tiny action figure of Damien Hirst or Jeff Koons on their desk, just to mock relentlessly every time your boss gets grossly overpaid for something or hogs unnecessary credit for something he didn’t create? Or you can have some artist you actually respect — really it’s up to you. Visual artist […]
A new edition of Joe Ledbetter’s vinyl toys for The Loyal Subjects hits shelves tomorrow. His Pico & Wilshire figures get a limited edition “La Brea” colorway, meaning his Mammoth (Wilshire) gets dunked in the eponymous tar pits while Pico tries to make him lunch.

At first glance, I immediately wanted the Incoqnito necktie. I’ve always thought the androgynous look was sharp, sophisticated, and sexy.

The long awaited film TRON:Legacy boasts a soundtrack that is equally as anticipated, penned by robotic Parisian super-duo Daft Punk. To promote this buzz-in-an-echo-chamber partnership, the electro maestros have teamed up with MEDICOM TOY to create 2 series of collectible toys. You have a choice between the Kubrick set, if you prefer the ubiquitous Lego-style […]
