There is a new toy platform waiting at the fringes of the art toy world, waiting to be unleashed, and it features a super-deformed cuteyfied T-Rex named "RAAR!" from fledgling toy brand Dynamite Rex, with a variety of artists involved in creating characters in the 6" figure series, including Martin Hsu and Gary Ham (above), as well as Jerome Lu (of Hyperactive Monkey), William Stout (with two designs) and Bing Yeh, and of course not forgetting the "original" orange-hued Raar! from Neergaard :)

And looks to be there will be DIY-blanks available too (in two sizes? *CUTE*). These adorable dinos will be made available somewhen in 2013 via www.dynamiterex.com. I'll try to keep a lookout for further product and availability details. Meanwhile, you could check out further updates on the Dynamite Rex Facebook page :)
