Yesterday was the birthday of one of my favorite artists, Huck Gee (happy birthday Huck!). In honor of the big day, VinylPulse.com turned over the keys to their kingdom to Huck so he could unveil some new products that would be going on sale this week.The first item is a Skullhead paperweight entitled #6 released by Fully Visual. Only 100 of these metal figures were created, “99 silver-plated pieces and one gold-plated chase,” and will be sold for $120. (link) “Each numbered figure is sealed in an aluminum can and measures 2.5” tall and 3” wide," but unfortunetly anyone just hearing about these figures for the very first time here on The Blot Says... has already missed out on the opportunity to purchase one. (link) The Huck Gee #6 Skullhead paperweight went on sale yesterday at 1 pm pacific and sold out immediately.
The next item Huck unveiled yesterday was a set of 10 custom hand-painted 8” Negative Skullhead Dunnys. The Negative Colorway basically means he took his original Skullhead Dunny design and swapped the color scheme, so everything that was black is now white and everything that was white is now black. Huck admits he took the easy way out in creating this new Dunny design, but thinks “the negative colorway [is] better than the original.” (link) The Negative Colorway 8 inch Skullhead Dunny set is priced at $600 each and goes on sale this Friday, May 23, 2008 at Noon PDT at Huck Gee’s ebay store.
And last, but not least, is Huck’s “very limited mystery ‘bootleg’ toy” #2, which also goes on sale this Friday, May 23, 2008 at Noon PDT at Huck Gee’s ebay store. (link) This is the second time Huck has done a bootleg toy, in which he sells the set in a blind box before ever unveiling what the figure inside looks like. The mystery figure is limited to 25 pieces and is being sold for the much more reasonable price of $100 each. Once the figure is sold out, Huck will reveal to the world the mystery bootleg figure.
