Buff Monster Toys

Buff Monster Web Exclusive figure dropped recently and when I saw the image of the new toy, I knew that I would have to pick it up (Me love gold or silvery stuff). I realised that I have never mentioned about the Buff Monster toys in my blog, even though I became a Mindstyle ATS member, all for the sake of the Buff Monster toys. (ATS members get first offers to purchase Mindstyle's new launches or limited editions).

(By the way, the Buff Monster Web Exclusive was not offered to ATS member. Boo...)

Anyway, I had to stay up late at night for the chance to purchase the exclusive via Buff Monster's website and I managed to get it (the figure sold out in an hour, methink) So the cool web exclusive figure is now on the way to Singapore.

I am not a big fan of Buff Monster's arts, though I appreciate his some of his paintings (especially those with tons of gold glitter and pink... funky!) But the first time I laid eyes on his Mindstyle figures, I knew that I would have to collect them. The quality of the vinyl is excellent and the toys just look so weirdly cute. The only complaint is the price (US$30 for a 3inch toy!)

Series 2 of the toys have just been launched and the designs are kinda kaiju influenced (which I find pretty cool) and I like the dual-faced aspect of his latest series.





Some pics of my Buff Monster figures. Can't wait to add the web exclusive to the family :-)

Kaws JPP toy in the house!

At last, my Kaws JPP has arrived from kawsone! I have been waiting for this toy for the longest time!

If anyone read my previous mail, they might noticed the tee I was wearing when I took the photo with Touma.

Yup, I was wearing my favourite Originalfake tee, the JPP. It was my first ever Kaws tee and it is still my favourite OF tee even though I have bought a couple since then.

I have loved the Kaws JPP design ever I realised that Kaws was putting his XX design on the Tokyo police mascot that I always saw whenever I was in Japan. So when I knew that the JPPs were launching, I was on kawsone.com waiting for them to drop.

I read as well from Kaws blog that he will appear in an article in ANPQuarterly magazine. Check out the photo of the 4 feet Kaws Companion. I saw one in the OriginalFake shop when I was there and I wish I had the dough to bring one back (It's not for sale anyway and my wife will kill me if I did bring one back).

It's a good time to be a Kaws toy collector. :-)

Kaws talks about his collab with N.E.R.D.
