el brujo
in what i think is one of the more innovative and clever promotion/publicity toy-ad / prelaunches (IMHO), VinylPulse with MuttPop (creator of Tequila) had posted these seemingly innocuous random codes in this entry (DaVinciCode-ish? haven't read nor watch, so just grasping at invisible straws here / or maybe tis MI:3? *heh*) ~ with the red-text clickable to reveal images of a new Kozik-designed Luchador, named: El Brujo! or at the very least; a Tequila-variant / custom, innit?
and the empty space between brackets when highlighted reveals (VINYLPULSE.MUTTPOP- 6/6/6) = which is the launch-date of said figure - lurvely numbering, innit? (credit goes to both "Jenn" & "Cyril")
flickr-images: torso and leg / back of robe / poncho / buttocks and back pocket
and it all sure looks mucho-exciting, dunnit? *coolness*
*mucho-more vinyl-mystery-solving after the jump*

El Brujo Narco Satanico Tequila is available for USD$99.90 @ Vinyl Pulse exclusively and boy does he look goooood!
"Frank Kozik’s (the World renowned Rock Poster and Designer Toy artist) “EVIL” reinterpretation of Muttpop’s Tequila figure brings an edgy sensibility to the character originally designed by Gobi and sculpted by Monster5.
Donning piercing red eyes, Aztec iconography, and gangsta-style tattoos, El Brujo Narco Satanico Tequila will be one of the meanest figures in anybody’s toy collection.
In addition to designing the El Brujo Narco Satanico Tequila figure, Kozik created the limited edition box the figure comes packaged in. El Brujo stands at over 8 inches (20 cm) tall; and comes with a Removable Poncho and articulated head. Only 333 produced." [via]
it sucks to not have enuff moolah to buy online vinyls :(
