Beware of DeadBeet, The Veggie Avenger!

Check out Mikie Graham's custom contribution to Toy Art Gallery, 'DeadBeet, the Veggie Avenger' from the original Scott Tolleson design.

The awesome 7.5" tall sofubi platform is reminds us of The Blue Falcon from the 1976 cartoon classic. The Veggie Avenger comes removable nunchucks (with real metal chain) and three interchangeable battle cries speech balloons that hang above his head via a clear plastic dowel.

"From the chilly recesses of your refrigerator's crisper drawer a new Super Hero has emerged from the darkness and is standing up for the rights of his uprooted vegetable brotherin. DeadBeet, the Veggie Avenger!" - Mikie Graham

The Deadbeet Group Custom Show will open on June 29 at Toy Art Gallery. For more information go HERE.

Paul Kaiju makes a Slugbeard

Paul Kaiju has released an image thanks to Toy Art Gallery of his latest upcoming
figure 'Slugbeard'.

"This big ugly twisted sea baby is scheduled for bath tub clogging and kiddie pool deflating this summer at a date to be determined!" - Paul Kaiju

The multi articulated detail on Slugbeard is pretty impressive and that Flail looks like it's ready to do some serious damage. No further word on where or when it will be released but we can't wait to see the end result.

Artist "Fight For Your Right" with Boxing Gloves

Fight The City makes artist-driven gloves and gear to give fighters a choice of how to express themselves when they step into the ring. Taking this already crafted passion, and collaborating with the artists that inspire us only made sense. There will be showcasing a total of 40 gloves at this 1-night only events. Toy Art Gallery will be exhibiting and selling 10 pairs of gloves exclusively, while the remaining gloves will be auctioned off at the New York city showing on May 9th on Fight The City’s eBay page. A portion of all gloves proceeds benefit the Hoods to Woods Foundation. This foundation helps inner city kids get out to the wilderness to learn, grow, and become all they can be through outdoor activities such as snowboarding. This first of its kind event will be leading the way to Fight The City’s first ever limited edition boxing gloves from the twisted imagination of artist Scarecrowoven, known for his Ritual 3D deck series by Creature Skateboarding. Live music and the Grilled Cheese truck will be on hand to celebrate this special 1-night event." - Toy Art Gallery
