The Wyger Vinyl Figure by Sam Flores

The Blot is a huge fan of Sam Flores’ art, so I was pretty excited to learn he would be releasing a second all new figure in honor of Upper Playground’s 10th Anniversary, the Wyger (the first figure was Flores’ Dragon Boy). The Wyger gets it's name from an amalgamation of a tiger and Upper Playground's iconic Walrus mascot.


Standing nearly 10” tall, the Wyger features two protruding tusks, elegant gradient blends, descriptive tiger stripes and traditional Sam Flores elements, such as the figure’s over sized clutched hands and large Punchinella-esque covered feet. This OG orange Wyger is sure to be the first of many colorways released by Flores and UP.

The Wyger is limited to just 500 pieces and is currently available for pre-sale directly from Upper Playground here for $78.50. This limited edition designer vinyl figure comes packaged in a double sided window box featuring gold foil on the inside which doubles as a reflective mirror giving multiple views of Flores’ Wyger. Collectors can expect the orange Wyger to ship the 3rd week of January 2010.

Medicom x Disney Pinocchio Kubrick 2 Pack featuring Pinocchio & Jiminy Cricket

The second big Medicom x Disney release of 2010 is the Pinocchio Kubrick 2 pack featuring 100% Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket Kubrick vinyl figures. These two figures look awesome, but I do wish the Jiminy Cricket figure was a tiny bit smaller. From the pictures, Jiminy looks bigger than Pinocchio and that’s just wrong!


This Medicom x Disney Pinocchio Kubrick 2 pack includes the two 100% Kubrick vinyl figures seen above and should hit store shelves sometime in May of 2010. The Pinocchio and Jiminy Cricket Kubrick vinyl figures will retail as a set for $20-30.

Medicom x Disney Fantasia Kubrick 2 Pack

From what The Blot has seen and heard, it looks like Medicom has some awesome Disney products lined up for 2010! First up is the Medicom x Disney Fantasia Kubrick 2 pack featuring The Sorcerer's Apprentice Mickey Mouse and a Walking Broomstick. Overall, The Blot’s not a huge Fantasia fan, but who doesn’t love The Sorcerer’s Apprentice? As a kid those walking broomsticks were so damn creepy!


This Medicom x Disney Fantasia Kubrick 2 pack includes the two 100% Kubrick vinyl figures seen above and should hit store shelves sometime in May of 2010. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey Mouse and Walking Broomstick will retail as a set for $20-30.
