Gallery1988 x Daniel Danger Art Toy Prototype Photos

Artist Daniel Danger and Gallery1988 have partnered up to release Danger's first full-scale art toy, and it’s a super limited and beautiful hand-crafted piece. (link) The Blot’s a huge fan of Daniel Danger’s artwork, so when I learned about this out of the blue release yesterday, I got really excited! What I wasn’t expecting was it will be released next week…talk about keeping something really under the radar!


This figure has to be seen to be believed. Produced by Pretty In Plastic, this vinyl figure will go down in the record books, even if there aren't going to be many made. You can check out the original sketch by Daniel that the toy is based on above, and some in progress shots of an early prototype of the Gallery1988 x Daniel Danger art toy below:


This new art toy from Gallery1988 and Daniel Danger will first be available at the opening reception for Danger’s upcoming solo exhibit “They Will Take It Back” at Gallery1988 LA next Thursday, August 5th. Each toy will come with a hand embellished print and will be extremely limited edition. If you’re interested in picking up one of these killer art toys, email Gallery1988 LA at gallery1988@aol.com to be added to the waiting list.

SDCC Sneak Peek - Kidrobot Dunny Series 2010

Kidrobot had seven different figures from their upcoming Dunny Series 2010 on display at San Diego Comic-Con 2010, and they look even better in 3D than they did as drawings on the previously leaked checklist. Included in the display were designs by MAD, Frank Kozik, Jesse Hernandez, MCA, Triclops, Damarak the Destroyer and Amanda Visell.


Kidrobot’s Dunny Series 2010 drops on August 19, but be on the lookout for news from the designer toy company about Dunny Series 2010 contests, parties and more starting August 1st.

Threadless - Comic Book Inspired T-Shirt “The X-Menagerie”

When The Blot first saw “The X-Menagerie,” an awesome comic book themed t-shirt from Threadless, my jaw dropped. This spoof of Marvel’s X-Men looks awesome, and includes almost all of the team’s core members reinterpreted as animals. If I had one complaint it would be that the design left out Angel and Kitty Pryde, but that’s really splitting hairs. What’s really cool is if you order a hoodie of “The X-Menagerie” the front features the “X” logo as if it were slashed by Wolverine’s claws.

The X-Menagerie by Alice X. Zhang and Peter Kramar

The X-Men themed t-shirt “The X-Menagerie” comes printed on a slate American Apparel t-shirt or hoodie and is currently available on Threadless.com for $20 and a zip-up hoodie for $45. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.
