 Kubrick Homies? Slightly off-topic
I collect Kubricks, so maybe this is relevant to some people. It's driving me nuts. I saw this little guy in a vending machine display in NY near the Canadian border. I thought I'd go home and get this toy and any others in the series on eBay, but I can't find anything, anywhere on these Kubrick-like Homies toys. I don't even know if they're authorized Homies (my guess is no.) Has anyone seen these before, or know what they're called, who makes them or where to find them?

 Re: Kubrick Homies? Slightly off-topic
Wait, so Kozik is seriously making toys for gumball machines now? If that's the case, I just gained a lot of respect for him. Gumball machine toys that aren't crappy pendants or Yu-Gi-Oh cards rule.
Funny Kozik side note: there are now ripoff mini-Beethoven Clockwork Orange busts around. They're little plaster (I think... they were heavy) deals with the eyeliner and "pop" colors (hot pink, metallic, etc). No bowler cap, though. Just very, very wavy hair.

 Re: Kubrick Homies? Slightly off-topic
Those gumball toys were made years ago, like 5-6 years ago or maybe more. He also has a few hitler kubrick like toys that were released back in the days.

 Re: Kubrick Homies? Slightly off-topic

But the hitler one rules

They have done a few here and there, as boxed sets or as part of the regular disney series. Pretty easy to find... Steam boat willy  Micky and Oswald  link to donald and goofy cause the pic is so big --> http://image07.webshots.com/7/0/59/83/9 ... coZ_fs.jpg
