 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.
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.

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.

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

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!
