Sludge Demon MVH White Edition Vinyl Figure by Mutant Vinyl Hardcore

Last weekend, Mutant Vinyl Hardcore surprised long-time fans with the return of one of MVH’s original creations, the Sludge Demon! This is the first figure in Mutant Vinyl Hardcore’s new Sludge of the Month line.  The goal with this new series is to keep the original Sludge Demon to a clean and minimal presentation. They will be priced at around $35 each with the idea that these sofubi be as cheap as possible as an easy purchase for new MVH fans. They will be released monthly or bi-monthly, and each new colorway will be blank with a simple pad print on its forehead in a clear cube box.  What an amazing idea!

The first new Sludge Demon was cast in all white soft Japanese vinyl and comes unpainted except for a simple red MVH logo on its forehead.  This 3.25” vinyl figure will be released exclusively at MutantVinylHardcore.myshopify.com, but expect for these sofubi to sell out quickly just as this first Sludge of the Month did on Saturday, May 1st.

The Sludge Demon is a shape-shifting monster formed from the cursed swamp muck at the base of the dreaded Black Mountain. The Sludge Demon can assume a multitude of guises and sizes, but to conserve his maleficent energy, most of the time he maintains a small, compact state.  But don’t let the smile and chubby face of this primary form fool you: his razor sharp teeth may be at your throat at the first opportunity! The Sludge Demon is the most powerful and fearsome of all monsters.

Ghostbear Red Swirl GID Edition Vinyl Figure by Luke Chueh x Munky King

Luke Chueh has released a second Swirl GID colorway of his adorably scary Ghostbear vinyl figure – the Red Swirl Glow in the Dark Ghostbear!  The Red Swirl Ghostbear soft vinyl figure stands 2.5” tall and comes in a polybag with a colorway specific signed header card. Limited to just 100 signed pieces, this red swirl colorway was sold exclusively at LukeChueh.bigcartel.com for $40.  This rad colorway sold out almost immediately upon release.

“The GID Red Swirl Ghostbear is my second personal variant of the figure, exclusively available only through me. This is the 2nd of 3 GID Swirl Ghostbears. The other two are Blue and Green” – Luke Chueh

Based on the character created for a four-panel web comic by Luke Chueh, Ghostbear explores themes of life, death, and lactose (and alcohol) intolerance. As Luke explained, “I wish I had more rationale for Ghostbear, but he's easy to draw and I'm kinda lazy.”
