HOLY FUCK YO!!!!!
Toys
This category is for my bad photos, ramblings about toys I plan to buy, toys I’ve bought and toys I cannot afford.
Undercover Bear Kaws Companion
Ohhh the agony! The working class stiff really can’t be buying this shtuff. But it is a Kaws collaboration that is fooking ill. Like a dope addict I am considering using the old master card.
So yeah… tomorrow… smoke em’ if you got em’ – www.kawsone.com
Kaiju Your Face
A compilation of shit I’d love to own snagged from various places
Kozik Big Army Man
It’s been a while since Kozik dropped anything worth purchasing, like two good years depending on who you ask. I always liked Kozik because his posters and characters were very appealing when I was a youthful stoner in 8th grade. There really wasn’t anything cooler than disney skunks holding bongs back then. Over the years he’s sort of proven himself to be rather talentless looking to make the quickest buck. I mean I will doodle you a million inanimate objects and give them eyes and a smoke and you wont give a shit (why the F is that salt shaker smoking a cig?) I aint gonna lie… I still got some labbits in the closet, but mostly because nobody wants them 😛
So when I got a recent 3D Retro email I was slightly impressed. I also saw the green ones around SDCC. These are pretty cool. They look like big chunky army men that were made in China like they should. I just really hope they don’t have the Clockwork Orange style eye lashes. My favorite part of the whole thing is that you can replace his grenade hand with a rubber chicken! More photos after the jump.
Sleepin’ Part II
If you happened to be awake this morning around 5:30 am and had a spare $1,000 hanging around you might have been lucky enough to nab the Kaws “No Future Companion” He is the second installment of these crazy lookin companions. I usually blindly jock most things Kaws but these are kind of meh… on the other hand if I had $60 bux that wasn’t buying an eighth I would deff. pick up the chum keychain set.
Somebody Hug Me – PK x Zollmen Zudon
It’s a few weeks overdue but this showed up at my doorstep a little while ago and I couldn’t have been more stoked. What we have here is a Paul Kaiju x Zollmen Zudon collab. This is guy resembles a football only he is cuddly and wants hugs and will roll his eye at you. On the hyper critical side of things I found the paint to be a teenie weensie bit heavy handed (Paul is human and did paint them all himself so this is fine), but he is otherwise the piff. He has glitter lining his insides too. Hat’s off to Mr. Kaiju for providing me with yet another badass figure I don’t own any of in the wild and crazy colors that is the PK style. Not to mention this has been the first toy I’ve purchased in months!
Real x Head Thunder Lagoon Mini
Haven’t really been into toys much due to financial constraints but I recently saw this guy online and thought he looked bad ass. It’s a Real x Head mini figure, the character is Thunder Lagoon. The black rub on green is pretty sick and he just a mean lookin little scaly dude.
Sleep on Kaws = You Lose!
I’ve slowly been phasing out my old email and converting to gmail. Earlier tonight I opened my email to see these great kaws companion key chains. Seeing that it was around 9pm I was sure there would be none left. I visited the site to confirm that I was correct and mooch the photo so I can at least have a picture of them to look at ha ha (sadness) I only own three of the five in the set so I don’t feel too entitled. I never really cared for the glow companions, I mean I liked them but didn’t find them to be worth the loot… were I a baller I would buy them right now. Anyways on to the awesome keychains.
Mishka x Gargamel Hedoran
Being poor blows, I mean I been poor my whole life but there’s decent times and there’s bad times… these are the bad. Were I not so broke I wouldn’t even think twice about buying this little guy. To be honest he ain’t even my favorite of the bros I am more of a Standing Hedoran type of guy but I would still do it. I refer to this Hedoran as the hugger because he looks like he’s super stoked to see you and is all like “yaaaaaay! Lemme get a hug!” Seafoam and magenta colorway is the business.
Bounty Hunter Kumaru Kun
This was my first Bounty Hunter piece and I am pretty bummed I didn’t start earlier. It’s very much and old school feel to the toy, it’s matte texture and it came in just a plastic bag with a BxH sticker stapled to it. Which of course means I now also have a BxH sticker Yeeeeeeee! This guy is also quite bulky, but I heard he is bigger than the other figs which sort of bummed me out but it doesn’t really matter because this BxH shit is way over priced and I probably wont be getting any of the ones that I want for quite some time. Alas that is one of the joys of toy collecting: The Hunt. It would not be nearly as satisfying if I got every toy I wanted with great ease.
Look what I got
It’s been a while since the Kaws made something I absolutely had to buy. Obviously if I could throw down three grand for the four foot companions I would. But these guys rule and I still wear my super beat Kaws shirt with the jpp character on it. I actually wore it yesterday when I ordered in attempts to create some type of juju, I believe it worked. The site crashed and everything it was good times.
Mo Garga
As I figured a picture of the awesome full size Globby has surfaced! This guy will be available at Tentacles, Horns, and Scales at Apr. 19th Thrash Out in Tokyo. Yet another cool ass figure I will not be getting 🙁
I suppose I will have to be happy with my minis.
Now to speak of things I actually can acquire. Today after consulting with a client in Coronado I decided to head to the liquor store a few stores down looking for a bourbon bottle I’ve yet to find here in Dago Town. They indeed had the bottle of Pappy Van Winkles 20 year Bourbon, I was ready to drop $70 on it but it was a cool $99.99, since I’m a cheap bastard I decided I should go with the Van Winkle Special Reserve 12 year old that was only $44.95.
I raced home to have a pour and my lord was it tasty. This the type of whiskey you break out for your grand dad who drinks so he can say “Damn boy that is some good bourbon!” The flavor was subtle but present, not just some warm burning sensation. At first I tasted a somewhat moldy flavor (?) but it soon morphed into a sweet almost fruity taste that was very subtle.
I don’t know if it’s because I’ve been drinking the poop spectrum of bourbon’s lately or what but it is so good. I swore by the old Woodford but I don’t know anymore. I also bought a bottle of Bulleit Frontier Whiskey upon a recommendation from Dr. Burrito himself and I soon realized why he is Dr.Burrito and not Dr. Bourbon. I can only describe it as the flavor of a liquid penny. It is now the whiskey my old lady can mix with her cola 🙂
This post started sad and ended happily, I will now retire to some foods and more sips of the sauce.
