#10: RANGEAS JR CONCRETE Version from T9G x JULIEN DAVID is up now for order via The Little Hut (Deets in blog-linked) ... we don't hear a whole lot of toys-made-on-concrete/cement, although I did managed to snag a few Star Wars-themed goodies from MM mrkt in 2016 :p
#9: 50% from (profit) of KORONA by Psycho Urban Division will be donated "directly to people living below the poverty line who get the worst financial impact from this corona virus pandemic." Further enquiries via Insta @psycho_urban_div.
#8 POPMART's TOOTHY resin dragon has since launched online here, featuring design from their own in-house PDC (POP Design Center) Team!
#7: To say these STREET WARS JACKET figures by FATOH is "growing on me", is quite a epic understatement! And while I cannot afford such luxuries, YOU however can snag yours by DMing @dketoys ($200 for all three matching with numbers, limited to 40pcs each / shipping cost not inclusive).
#6:DIRTY SNOW by In Prime We Trust x Strangecat Toys is scheduled for a Summer 2020 Release ... and I have been wondering, in what way are these sexualised concepts meant to parallel that of the "13 Year Old Snow White" in Disney cartoon?
Then again, Disney has successfully conditioned folks to refer to their fictional creations as pop culture canon all these years ... and yet at the same time, designers/artists use that visual reference for their own interpretations = all of which is all a vicious cycle of (re)appropriation of pop culture ...
Folks have obviously not seen "Fairest of The All", before they got woke from Ariel's Disney Age, even though the toy-makers did mention their intention to "age-up" the character ... Ultimately, I will not deny that everyone has their own impressions or interpretations of what they see, and this too is apart of the toy-culture we choose to dwell in, don't we?
#5: Truth be told, I had actually quelled my toy-desires for this SCOOB! Action Figures (Exclusive to Walmart?) when my attention deviated elsewhere... until now, for this post ~ D'OH!
#4: Colonel Sanders of the KFC-Clan mashes-up with Street Fighter, with this delicious result of Pop Culture Appropriation known as "EPIC HADOUKEN" by HANH for HEARTLAB (Product & Availability Deets in blogpost linked).
#3: IMCMPLX's God Complex Hachiman: ZANSHIN 1/6 Collectible has since been listed as SOLD OUT via its e-store.
#2 & #1: Remains the same as last week, with Marvel Studios' Black Widow and Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 via for the Top Spots!
And while BLACK WIDOW has since been scheduled for a "November 6, 2020" premiere date (in the U.S.), SAC_2045 will stream on Netflix April 23rd, 2020.
