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? Well they’re back, only this time the False Friends are totally blacked out for their Blackout edition (fitting moniker). Limited to 300 pieces, the set contains the cloaked noop and a pitch-black paw!, staring into nothingness. The duo come hidden in a handcrafted premium black box, stamped with gold and black foil. The package is completed with 3 original Coarse poster prints and sealed by a transparent sleeve with the signature paw! nose. Each set includes a family and friends application card, in case you want to make this very expensive purchase a hobby. If you already have a card, you’ll receive an additional signed print. Available starting today only at coarsehkg for about $435 (price includes global shipping)

The Loyal Subjects and Joe Ledbetter mashed their chocolate into his peanut butter and the subsequent result: Terror & Magnus Lava Edition. Only available at this year’s Designer Con show held in Pasadena, CA November 21st, the Lava Edition is the third release in the Terror and Magnus series. Both the Regular Edition and European Blue Edition sold out in just hours. So grab your wizard cape, get your nerd on, and head over to Pasadena this coming Saturday and meet Joe at 10:30 am at The Loyal Subjects booth — only 99 will be available for $130.00 USD. (These are big Griffins — Terror stands around 8″ with a 10″ wingspan.)

In addition, The Loyal Subjects will be releasing a special 96-Edition run for Upper Playground‘s steady superstar artist Sam Flores (this edition is Blue — smell Picasso for Flores?). Remember when we previewed Sam’s Kid Dragon creation in June? Sam’s design is both elegant and ethereal, broken up into three pieces to give it the illusion of floating through clouds. If I was an Early English Romantic Poetry Major, I would have scribed this post with tears, ochre and ancient Chinese rice paper. Find one at Designer Con as well. Psssst… word is, those who buy one get an invitation to a secret party in Hollywood on Wednesday, December 2nd. There, they can pick up their purchase and meet Sam Flores. Cool beans a la Willy Wonka.
