 Re: New Gargamel Figs! Mark Parker loves toys, from what I understand he has a huge collection in his office. So these colabs only make sense. Its a win win for them, they get a lesson in color composition on their product and Mark gets a new toy for the office.

Re: New Gargamel Figs! FYI, I figured as much, those boots are called Kaiju, they're Nike's foray into snowboard boots, and they've been making them for years. This release makes complete sense now.

Re: New Gargamel Figs! Did everyone so soon forget the "Buzz Cola" Zag that was done with Coca Cola?

Re: New Gargamel Figs! I love Gargamel and am not anti-Nike but no way do I want corporate logos on my monster toys. Soooo wrong.

Re: New Gargamel Figs! Oddly, the swoosh mouth is only the 3rd worst part of the toy, IMO. First, I don't like the monopod aspect, second I don't like the eye, and third I don't like the mouth. It's a shame because I generally like Zazahn toys/tributes.

Re: New Gargamel Figs! A little backstory on this toy:
This was for the Nike Snowboard boot show at ISA/ISPO where a bunch of artists did their take on the boot. Kiyoka turned his boot into a mountain, and this character is a tree monster that lives on the mountain. There will be some custom HPs of this figure released at an event in the future, but beyond that, this figure will not be released. It was an art show one-off.
Congrats to Kiyoka and the Gargamel crew for having fun with this one!

Re: New Gargamel Figs! Btw, its name is "Snown".
The most interesting point of the blog post is that Gargamel are working on the lucky bags!

Re: New Gargamel Figs! Bummed to hear this isn't going to make it to a regular release.  That being said, I will have to see if I could track one down some other way...

Re: New Gargamel Figs! I like all four. I wouldn't buy them all but I think it's a fitting tribute and it works.

Re: New Gargamel Figs! This one was cool:  Ha, I could totally see this guy chasing scooby doo in the old cartoon! I like the figure, though again, I didn't push the button on it cause of the name on his chest... At least this time it's just a swoosh.

Re: New Gargamel Figs! Isn't Misty Fog just Le Merde? Or is that a company, sort of like how the Super7 toys are produced by Gargamel or Secret Base, but released by Super7? These are at least sculpted by Kiyoka, so I figured they should be in this thread.
