Threadless RoboCop “RoboCup” T-Shirt

You know, if Threadless hadn’t just released a very similar design (the Ghostbusters inspired “Something Strange, In Your Beverage...”) a few months ago, I’d like this RoboCop t-shirt a lot more. That isn’t to say I don’t like it (because I do), it’s just not all that original because it looks so similar to a previously released design. Regardless, “RoboCup” is a pretty cool t-shirt and I’ll definitely be ordering one sometime soon. I mean who wouldn’t want to drink a hot cup of joe out of a mug of RoboCop’s head?

One cool aspect to this tee is that Threadless is releasing it on two different colored shirts! The RoboCop inspired t-shirt “RoboCup” comes printed on a light blue guys t-shirt or a pink girls t-shirt and is currently available for purchase at Threadless.com for $18. The shirt comes in both guys and girls styles, sizes S-2XL.

ACLU Leading Freedom Forward Screen Print feat Olivia Wilde by Shephard Fairey

New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg proclaimed today, September 15, American Civil Liberties Union Day in honor of the ACLU’s 90th anniversary! To celebrate the 90th anniversary of this important organization and the end of the ACLU’s Leading Freedom Forward fundraising campaign, which brought in $407 million in cash and planned gifts, the ACLU commissioned Obey Giant’s Shephard Fairey to create the poster you see below featuring one of The Blot’s favorite actresses, Olivia Wilde (House, TRON: Legacy).

The Leading Freedom Forward campaign was the biggest fundraising campaign in the ACLU’s 90 year history and what better way to memorialize this amazing achievement and milestone than with some equally amazing artwork. Aside from being a super cool actress, Olivia is also an activist and civil libertarian. She said of the ACLU:

I believe we have to judge our society not by how we treat the privileged and the empowered, but by how we treat the silenced, the condemned, the undocumented, and all those whose views and rights are deemed inconvenient. The ACLU works tirelessly to uphold the promise of the Constitution, and I am proud to support their courageous and necessary work. (link)

No word yet if the ACLU Leading Freedom Forward Screen Print featuring Olivia Wilde by Shephard Fairey will go on sale to the public, and if so, how many prints/posters will be produced.

Skeleton Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Leecifer

The amazing custom in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series is by California artist Leecifer. The Blot’s a huge fan of Lee’s work, especially his many Batman and pop culture inspired custom figures (definitely check out his awesome hand painted Super7 Mummy Boys!). If you’ve never seen Leecifer’s work, then I definitely suggest checking out his art at Flickr here. Leecifer contributed four Skeleton Marshalls to Tenacious Toys’ Marshall Custom Series, three like the figure you see below and one mystery color variant.


The Tenacious Toys Marshall Blind Box Custom Series will retail for $50 each and features the artwork of Mike "Nemo" Mendez, Brent Nolasco, OsirisOrion, Ian Ziobrowski, Den Ramos, LYS0L, Rolo, Bryan Collins, Phetus, John "Spanky" Stokes, Leecifer, Steve "Sketchbot" Talkowski and ZAM. The Marshall figures, which look like little marshmallows that have sprouted arms and legs, were originally designed by 64Colors and produced by Rotofugi.

Kabuki Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Zam

Zam is the creator behind the newest custom figure in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series! Not only does Zam run Genuine Artikle on Long Island, NY, but he’s also a killer tattoo artist and an accomplished toy customizer. His Kabuki inspired custom figures look awesome, and I especailly like the way he transformed each Marshall's head. From the few pics I’ve seen the paintjobs look extremely tight! Zam created 4 custom Marshalls for Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Series, including one secret variant.
