The Sucklord Wood Figure by Gary Ham

The SUCKset - Custom 7 Inch The Sucklord Wood Figure and Accessories

The Blot had the biggest fan boy moment when I stumbled upon Gary Ham’s amazing The Sucklord custom wood figure on eBay (seen here). Gary was motivated to create this “tribute to all things Suckadelic” by The Sucklord’s dismissal from Work of Art last week. The SUCKset, as Gary dubbed it, is a 100% handmade and hand painted wood toy of The Sucklord and includes everything seen here. What’s even cooler is all of the accessories are also handmade of wood.

The SUCKset - Custom 7 Inch The Sucklord Wood Figure and Accessories

The Sucklord Wood Figure stands 7" tall with 5 points of articulation, includes two interchangeable heads, and tons of Suckadelic accessories. With this set you get 1 Morgan Phillips head; 1 Sucklord head; 1 light saber; 1 beat box; 1 roll of Ass Wipe; 1 carrot; 1 photo of Sucklord’s girlfriend; 1 Work of Art NY Times challenge replica; 1 jar of urine; 1 Village Voice with Sucklord on the cover; 2 Suckpax; 1 bong; 1 bootleg Gay Stormtrooper; and 1 cape. Does this figure have it all or what!?!

Two SUCKsets were created, but only one is being sold to the public via an eBay auction that started yesterday and will be running for one full week. As Gary explained, “in true Sucklordian fashion, this piece is available to whomever wants it the most.” The SUCKset auction started at an incredibly modest $50 starting price, however in only a matter of hours it has quickly rose to over $500. Where this amazing figure ends is anyone’s guess. Good luck bidding!

You can also check out a great interview Gary did with Jeremy Brautman about the figure here.

Morgan Phillips “Jerk of Art” Bootleg Resin Action Figure by Sucklord

If you haven’t watched this week’s episode of Bravo’s Work of Art then stop reading now! *SPOILER ALERT* Ok, that’s the only warning you’re getting…

Morgan Phillips “Jerk of Art: The World’s Worst Artist” Bootleg Resin Action Figure by The Sucklord

If you have seen last night’s episode of Work of Art then you know the Sucklord was eliminated. The Blot was really pulling for Morgan to bring home the top prize, but I think it was pretty apparent early on that at least one of the judges did not care for his style of art. While I wanted Sucklord to go far, at least now I can stop watching Work of Art! Personally, I just don’t see how you can compare and judge artwork from 15 different mediums and say one is superior to the others.  Isn't art subjective?  Because of this I found myself really disliking the show, and found Sucklord to be the only reason to keep tuning in week after week. He was far and away the star of Work of Art Season 2.

Well now that the show is over, Sucklord can go back to making toys! And of course he’s got a crazy awesome figure all lined up to commemorate his elimination from Work of Art. Check out the Morgan Phillips “Jerk of Art: The World’s Worst Artist” bootleg resin action figure by the Sucklord featuring a Charlie Brown homage design on the blister pack. This figure’s tag line really sums up the Sucklord’s experience on Work of Art: “Yeah sure, he's a great guy after all, but his artwork Sucks. Put the helmet back on asshole!”

Look for the Morgan Phillips bootleg action figure to go on sale sometime soon on the Suckadelic online store.
