D'Face teddy trooper - ltd edition?!
Last year I purchased the very limited edition 'D'Face' teddy troop figure from Flying Fortress
This figure had a run of 48 units!
Everything was good, I was happy that I got my limited edition toy!
Tuesday 22 May, I get my monthly newsletter from Toydigger with a link to a new product line of Flying Fortress Teddy troops from AdFunture.. and guess what I see?!!!
"Product info:
Teddy Troops is a character by German based Flying Fortress. This is the D*Face monotone version. Teddy Troop stands 3.5 inches tall.
€ 20,00"
CHEEKY BLIGHTERS!
Now i know I got the last one from Flying Fortress, They held on to it for me, so how does Toydigger end up selling them (and not even in ltd. quantities)
BAD ADFUNTURE!... VERY BAD!
I am in contact with Flying Fortress who own the design and were not told by Adfunture about this new run!
I will keep you updated when I get more information.. but for now.. please spread the word to any owners of this original set.
thx

Kubrick Jest Alife
New to the ever growing collection is this super camo Ltd. edition Kubrick toy designed by Jest.
Jest is a member of the design team and contributors behind 'alife' (Graff shop on Orchard Street, NYC). The kubrick is based on the Jest plush doll made from his own surplus camo clothes and original militaria buttons. It has almost become alifes mascot figure... very desirable and very collectible.

BE@RBRICKS
OOO I love kicking off a new category!
So TOYS!?!?
"WTF mule boy, you're 31 (nearly 32) and you collect little plastic lego men and 'bears' !!??? i mean what's going on??"
This is from "sweatyfrog.com"
Kubrick figures are about 2.5"- 3" tall. There are three kinds: LIMITED, REGULAR (aka Hikimono), and SET. "Limited" Kubrick Figures are found in special promotions, toy conventions, through mail-order, etc. Basically hard to find! Regular "Hikimono" Kubrick figures come individually boxed with 24 figures in a case. Their identity is unknown and what you get is a surprise. On top of this, the figures in each series have a ratio of commonality. Some figures are found 1 in every 196 boxes! YIKES! Needless to say, the rare figures go for a ton on Ebay. Some Hikimono Kubricks, like Maharishi DPM Identifiers are not assorted. "Set" Kubrick Figures come in a box set and are sold as an entire unit, such as Be@rbrick World Wide Tour. (but evrything has a price on Ebay)
Medicom Toys is one of the most unique toy companies in the world. Not only producing for mass market appeal, Medicom reaches out to designers, indy creators, and ...basically the small guys. Because of this, they produce some of the finest toys.
Medicom Toys Japan took their Kubrick, added a big belly and bear head, and voila! - the Be@rbrick was born! Artists (such as STASH, FUTURA, KAWS, PUSHEAD) and licenses (such as Kill Bill, Universal Monsters, Hello Kitty) have used the Be@rbrick as canvas to create innovative designs, making Be@rbrick the first of platform toys to be born.
QEES
This was my first Qee, It was designed by Dutch graffiti artist EWOS (limted 500 pieces)
Qees also are designed by artists, in limited runs and in blind boxes.
Characters include a cat, dog, monkey, bear, egg, Toyer & wolf
They created the Qee Keychain Collection, Knuckle Bear, Rolitoboy , Onion , Toyer, Baby Qee and Boyer toy lines.
So.. on with the show.
Two new ones I have found that I likey lots.
NL Flag and Graffiti legend Andre!
