PRESS: Plush masterminds Shawnimals have teamed up with Kidrobot and myplasticheart for two insanely awesome exclusives for NYCC 2010: Zombie Stache with Kidrobot and Pork Dorkling with myplasticheart. In addition, Shawn “Shawnimal” Smith is on the panel Toys Are Us! How Your Favorite Toys Are Made with Todd McFarlane and others, and will be signing at the Kidrobot and myplasticheart booths.
Zombie Stache measures 14-inch x 5-inch and has a SRP of US$45 each. This will be an exclusive pre-release via Kidrobot [blogged] 50 pcs (100 pc edition*) – 25 pcs will be available on Friday Oct 8th, with the other 25 pcs being made available on Sunday for the signing.
*The remaining 50 units will be available directly from the Shawnimals online shop in November 2010.
From the tag: “Things are getting hairy in the land of the Moustachios. Eerie nighttime chomping sounds, disappearing moustaches, and... flying lip hair with bones?! This unsettling mix of macho and muerto is creeping us out-o!”
Pork Dorkling measures 4.5-inch x 3-inch with a SRP of US$15 each. This will be an exclusive release via myplasticheart - limited to 100 pcs with numbered tag.
Continuing its long-lasting, popular Pocket Pork collaboration, Shawnimals and mph are proud to introduce this nerdy, comic con-friendly dumpling. Complete with thick-rimmed glasses, and his coveted issue of Super Pork, this handmade Pork Dorkling is ready to storm the con with his gang of steamed collector pals. This new dumpling comes bagged with a comic-book-cover numbered hang tag, glasses and two pork buttons. In addition, one lucky winner who finds the Super Pork cape inside his/her bag wins an AP edition Super Pork!
From the tag: “This otherwise simple dumpling has a secret: Not only does it own the rare first issue of Super Pork, when it loses the glasses and dons a cape it is Super Pork! Well, at comic conventions anyway...”
