Lift Exclusive Doktor A Mad’l Official Reveal

There hasn’t been a production Mad’l released in a while, so The Blot has been really excited for the new Lift Exclusive Mad’l designed by Doktor A and entitled Jeeves & Jeeves Co. Autonomous Self Winding Domestic 5” Mad’l. This past weekend Lift officially unveiled the figure at its Dok A exhibition “Freak Mechanique,” and it looks awesome.


The Jeeves & Jeeves Co. Autonomous Self Winding Domestic Mad’l comes dressed in formal attire, and doesn't it look dashing in its black and grey tuxedo? I especially adore the figure’s head, which includes Doktor A’s signature meters he has placed on the back of the Mad’l’s ears. The Lift Exclusive Doktor A Mad’l is limited to just 300 pieces and will go on sale in the next two weeks. The price of this designer vinyl figure is currently unknown, but I would guess it’ll retail between $25-40.

First Look - Lift Exclusive Doktor A. Mad’l

Lift unveiled a very tiny teaser image of its upcoming exclusive Doktor A. 5" Mad’l. The picture isn’t very large, but it does confirm that the Mad’l will look like the character at the bottom of the flyer for Dok A’s upcoming art exhibition “Freak Mechanique” (see below). Rumor has it MAD is hard at work prepping a new line of production Mad’ls, so keep your eyes peeled to The Blot Says… for all the latest!


“Freak Mechanique,” Doktor A.’s largest solo exhibition to date, opens Saturday, November 14th at Lift in Detroit, Michigan with an opening reception from 7-11pm. “Freak Mechanique” runs from November 14th through December 9th.

I’ve gotta tell ya, The Blot’s been jonesing for a new production Mad’l from MAD for a while now. And while rumors have been swirling about a Lift exclusive Mad’l from British designer Doktor A. for a few weeks, The Blot’s been waiting for confirmation before announcing the exciting news. Thankfully Lift has finally spilled the beans and announced it will be debuting “an exclusive new limited edition toy you would be MAD to miss” at its upcoming exhibition “Freak Mechanique” by Doktor A!


All we know for sure is the Doktor A. Mad’l’s head will probably look like the logo at the bottom of the poster above, and that little image is enough of a teaser for me to get really excited about this upcoming Mad’l release! There’s been no word yet on the figure’s price and run size, or if MAD and/or Dok A will be at the show’s opening reception. Hopefully more details will leak soon.

“Freak Mechanique,” Doktor A.’s largest solo exhibition to date, opens Saturday, November 14th at Lift in Detroit, Michigan with an opening reception from 7-11pm. “Freak Mechanique” runs from November 14th through December 9th, so if you live in the Detroit area or are within driving distance, be sure to make your plans now to see what is sure to be an amazing show!

Lift Exclusive Detroit MAD*L by Tristan Eaton

Today The Blot Says… will be featuring a couple of different store exclusive MAD*Ls released in the second half of 2008. MAD has been extremely busy this year having already released his ToyQube exclusive Ninja MAD*L, MAD*L Phase 3 (all four figures can be seen here), and two DIY 10 inch blank MAD*Ls.


This first store exclusive is one The Blot is really hoping to get his hands on soon. The Lift exclusive Detroit MAD*L by Tristan Eaton was released to commemorate the store’s MAD*L Citizens custom figure show. The 5 inch figure is covered from head to toe with images in tribute to Detroit Rock City in Eaton's signature style. I think Tristan did a fantastic job with this figure and it's a great homage to city's rich history.


The Detroit MAD*L by Tristan Eaton is limited to just 500 figures and Lift has already sold out of its initial 150 figure shipment. You can currently pre-order one of these great figures here for $38, and if you get your order in before the pre-sale ends Lift will even throw in free shipping within the U.S.
