Ron English's Grin & Popaganda Minis
A Ron English double-hit with upcoming toys from two different producers - first up is GRIN with Made by Monsters [teased] - featuring a demonized-Charlie Brown with skull-bursting thru teh mouth (an icon-revisit from his Big Yang-days). Standing 7 inches tall - Grin is slated for a January 13th-drop @ a SRP of US$98. (Pre-order via info [at] garageworksindustries.com) ~ *V.Cool* ... Also stay tuned to TRE for further details on Ron English's signing event @ GWI Store (@ 257 Des Veoux Rd West, KUSH, Sheung Wan, Hong Kong).
Rounding-out is a series of POPAGANDA mini-figures from MINDstyle (peeped on VinylPulse) scheduled for an April 2009-release - featuring Popaganda-characters in super-deformed-form (heh). TRE agrees with VP the fav has to be the gas-masked-Mickey (gasmasks always makes near-everything cool LOL) and reckon would do well as a larger vinyl perhaps? Hopefully more details to come soon-ish :)
"Inspired by one of the most iconic cartoon character from the 50s, Charlie Brown is a loveable loser, a child possessed of endless determination and hope, but who is ultimately dominated by his insecurities and a "permanent case of bad luck," and often taken advantage of by his peers. Until now..."
