James Jarvis’ classic soft vinyl toy now gets transformed… into pillow form. King Ken, the noble creation of Amos, likes rambling and wrestling, which is good for you cos this King Ken head is a 40cm x 35cm cushion. Only 400 will be made under license of Säck und Nolde. Go apesh*t for under $50.

Joe Ledbetter's poor mammoth gets the tar pit treatment
A new edition of Joe Ledbetter’s vinyl toys for The Loyal Subjects hits shelves tomorrow.

Only 99 of the figures will be made, each with […]

Nice touch.

They’re dedicated to making this cultural bouillabaisse accessible to all […]

Coarse False Friends "Blackout" Edition
We’re somewhat addicted to the vinyl junk that Coarse is cooking up these days. That Jaws Loser piece last month was pretty amazing, and remember that False Friends figure they did in the beginning of this year?

I love me some vinyl toys, but only when I stumble upon them at a small toy store and can swoop them up for something reasonable. I love figures like the False Friends above, but I just can’t see myself paying $500 – $1K for something that I can’t even drive or wear. Still, these […]
