Luke Chueh x Scott Tolleson OG Bartholomew Punchyface Plush Figure

Scott Tolleson and Luke Chueh have teamed up with 3D Retro to produce what is sure to be one of the hottest plush figures of 2013…Bartholomew Punchyface! Bartholomew combines the aesthetics of Tolleson’s Nosellot line of plush figures with Luke’s signature bear. I think he wears Scott’s argyle pretty well, don’t you think!?!

Not only does poor little Bartholomew Punchyface sport a lone, solitary tear, but he also wears real underwear perfect for a wedgie! He’s also sporting a “kick me" sign on his back, and blemishes on his corduroy pants.

Designed by A Little Stranger based on Luke and Scott’s artwork and produced by 3D Retro, the OG colorway of Bartholomew Punchyface makes its world premiere at tonight’s release party at Giant Robot (Saturday, April 13th from 5-8pm). Afterwards the original Bartholomew colorway, which has a limited edition run size of 400 pieces, will be available for purchase at the 3D Retro online store.

Gary Ham’s Wooper Looper Takes Over San Diego Comic-Con 2012!

Gary Ham’s cute axolotl (aka "water monster") Wooper Looper is all set for its world debut at San Diego Comic-Con 2012 later this week, and what a debut it’s going to be! With Gary set to release four different limited edition versions of Wooper Looper in three different platforms, The Blot knows a ton of collectors are already drooling over this amphibian neotenic salamander.

First up is the Wooper Looper 5.25” figure made from Japanese soft vinyl, which was designed by Gary and sculpted by Chauskoskis. This is Wooper’s very first vinyl release, and Gary will actually be two San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive colorways: the painted white vinyl with pink spray seen here ($60) and the still unseen Unpainted Pink Wooper ($50). Both come bagged with a header card and can be purchased at Gary Ham’s SDCC booth #4836.

Gary has also teamed up with A Little Stranger (aka Holly Stanway) on a collaborative San Diego Comic-Con 2012 Exclusive Wooper Cavey plush figure! 10 of the 30 Wooper Caveys created will go on sale at Gary’s SDCC booth, where each Wooper Cavey will retail for $45 and comes in a bag full of Cavey goodies (including a glitter Cavey sticker, glitter Cavey badge, Cavey carry bag and Cavey postcard), and topped with Gary's specially designed header card. These will be available from preview night on Wednesday and sold on a first come served basis. The remaining Wooper Loopers will be available in the Cavey shop for £28 on Monday, July 16th, 8pm London time.

Next up are these amazing handmade Wooper Looper plush figures sewn by Gary Ham himself! How awesome do these look!?! Only four were made and these will definitely go fast. Each Wooper Looper plush figure stands 14" tall, retails for $80 and can be purchased at Gary’s SDCC booth.

Last but not least are these two custom 3” Wooper Looper Dunnys by Gary! These look so fantastic, I don’t know how Kidrobot doesn’t make these into a production Dunny. Not much is known about these custom Wooper Looper Dunnys, but head over to Gary’s SDCC booth to find out about their availability and price. I don’t know about you, but The Blot has Wooper Looper fever! Here’s hoping I can somehow get my hands on one of Gary’s awesome new Wooper Looper vinyl figures.
