Official SDCC 2009 Preview Thread (Spoilers)

The toys look a little dry this year.

Maybe SDCC is getting back to it's roots.

 

^^^ That is some SERIOUS F.U.P.A. ^^^

 

That shit has Fat Upper, Middle and (gasp!) Lower Pussy Area...

 

Off topic, I have actually gone the other way and prefer the whole thing. I love fried fish heads, I like to eat them ala Danny DeVito Penguin style by just chomping them off in restaurants.

 

You know, while I really used to like Kathie Olivas ( I actually own a few original paintings) the fact that she's turned into a total and complete toy whore is really, really annoying. It's symptomatic about what's wrong with the whole Western thing - "Wow, the kids like this. Let's flood the market with a zillion colorways, and make most of 'em limited so they'll have to spend $450 of Dad's dollars to find one." Not that she's responsible for the aftermarket, but she has to be aware of it, and if she cared about her "fans" as much as she claims, she'd hopefully do something about it. Plus, those Scavengers toys are some of the most cheap-feeling pieces of shit I have ever purchased. (I know, I know - but I learned my lesson). It seems like they spent more time and money on the packaging than on the toy itself. I don't begrudge artists making money, but in her case it just seems opportunistic. /rant.

 

I have to admit loving the print this is based on, and thinking the toy is funny and clever.

 

Added bonus, you can make is a KAWS piece by adding the XX eyes...

 

I remember a long long time ago on a board far far away a bunch of people bashing a drunk bird toy for having "x" eyes as a KAWS bite.
hahahaha

 

KJB, tell us what you really think. Don't hold back.
That was a great rant.

 

aside from the pushead event, gargamel (which are always a hit) and xxxxxxxx.... i'm not sure what to get excited about at SDCC this year.

 

hot chicks in sexy costumes!

 

Jeff, don't act like you're not excited to see all the different slave Leias this year.

 

well.. ok, i admit... definitely looking forward to that *drool* the hot one i think goes (or at least went) out w/ that comic book artist j. scott campbell. not sure how i knew that

 

im stoked for the pushead event, gargamel, S7 and grass hut. im also stoked because i actually saved money this year.

 

Wich I was going! Have a good one Dan!

 

Mini Dokuwashis making a showing at Flynn's signing

 

Back to more garbage:

Marka27’s collaboration with street culture brand Tribal – Killa Instinct Tribal. Today, we have the full "reveal" :

 

On the heels of their recent announcement of the new Star Wars Series 4 Mimobots USB Flash Drives, Mimoco has revealed an SDCC exclusive Luke Dagobah variant of the S4 Darth Vader Unmasked Mimobot. Limited to 500 pieces,

 

when will spraycan nozzles stop turning into toys?

 

Whilst I always try strive for Mutons level of positivity, seeing so many wanky toys does make it increasingly difficult!

 

Wanky indeed. I'm waiting for the "good stuff."

 

I think this thread is targeted . . .the good stuff should start dropping randomly around the other threads soon! Looks like the pressure's on Gargamel to come up with the goods this year!

 

Troublemakers, don't get me on Flynn's shitlist.
Remember, I did post Flynn's mini dokuwashis.
