Le Merde

So I recently got my hands on some Le Merde toys and I am officially a fan. If you haven't checked out his site take a look at the goodness.

These are the figures I have:



They are totally DIY. I love them and I think you should at least give the website a quick look. He has a show coming up at GiantRobot 2.

 

damn.. february 17th is a busy day!
lifetime at the troubadour
hirax and destruction at the knitting factoory
hatred surge at the lb warehouse
and now this?

too much stuff to do in a 24 hour day!

 

Le Merde is awesome. I'm waiting for his show at GR2 so I can get one of these babies:

 

I wasn't going to post that pic until l I had one, only five available. Anyone in LA want to help me out?

 

Pogue, you have a pm.

 

Damn only 5?

 

I'm pretty sure he'll have some more for sale on his web-site at a later date, but for now there are only 5.

 

That clear one you have is sweet!

 

what are the ones for the GR show made out of?? I am really diggin these.

 

Glenn, what do you find appealing about these particular toys?

 

Le Merde added me to their flickr a few weeks ago so I've been checking out all that cool stuff for a little bit.

Good stuff !

 

i like these in a wierd way, I bet they look amazing in the flesh, are they vinyl? they are like punk rock toys ! DIY. they look childlike and slightly disturbing.

 

For me they are a cross between Dehara and Bawana. They have a DIY quality to them, the sculpts are delightfully crude and nicely hand painted. At $55 they hit a great price point.

 

For me these will forever remind me of the Fat Feddy from the Fabulous Freak Brothers - and that's a good thing!

 

I'm seeing James Jarvis around the eyes as well.....

digging these

 

the paintings are pretty nice too. glad i checked this thread. doesnt le merde mean the shit in french?

 

oui.

 

French = la merde

 

le merde is great, the figures are REALLY heavy! definitely worth the bread!

 

le merder

we should have some at grass hut soon as well.
le merde is the bomb

 

i'm not really an artist but i might get my custom on with one of these.

 

Wowzerss! I joined a couple weeks ago and have been reading through everything and then I noticed this thread. Thanks for all the good words. Very cool.

There will be more Burgerbuns figures in the near future. My wife is pregnant and should be giving birth anyday now. So things are little on hold.

After the GR2 group show "Free to a Good Home" on Feb.17th we are showing at Super7 in May and will release at least 3 new figures.

Thanks dudes!

 

Good to know.. I have to get a burgerbuns..

 

I'm a fan. Great Shit.
