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. http://www.lemerde.com/ 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!
I wasn't going to post that pic until l I had one, only five available. Anyone in LA want to help me out?
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.
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. Check it out : http://www.flickr.com/photos/mikekellyisafox/ 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!
the paintings are pretty nice too. glad i checked this thread. doesnt le merde mean the shit in french?
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!
just wanted to say I got a box from le merde and was very pleased!! love the trippin balls figure I got and also the clear solid Pony Falcone is crazy as hell!! thanks Le Merde
