Charlie The Angry Elephant Figure - Angel Once X UVD Toys

It has been Angel's dream to bring to life Charlie as a production vinyl toy since the character's inception. We have worked with sculptor Oasim Karmieh to develop this 3D printed 4" prototype of what our production vinyl figure will look like. The 3D renders below show you the OG Pink and Kickstarter Exclusive Green prototypes for the figure. Angel has also painted a 3D printed prototype to give you a good idea what a hand painted custom would look like.

Charlie the Angry Elephant stands 4 inches tall and will be produced in vinyl.

SPONGEBOB SQUARECAT - by RATO KIM

The charming and lovely Rato Kim has teamed up with Nickelodeon to mash up the BOXCAT Platform Toy, with that annoyingly lovable little yellow bastard SpongeBob Squarepants, to make SPONGEBOB SQUARECAT!

And they are being developed by the award winning Sofubi [Soft Vinyl] toy manufacturing dynamo known as UNBOX Industries. We love them and you should too!

And before anyone gets all trolly over this post, I like to remind our readers here at Underground Blend that I am the biggest hater of corporate licensed crap you will find on any Designer Toy blog online. Seriously, this is Gavriel Discordia we are talking about here, I start flame wars over what is and isn't a designer toy on social media myself, all the time.

This is a Corporate Licensed Designer Toy, because the Artist and their Signature Platform are featured up front and center in this toys execution and delivery.

Apparently someone really hip to the Designer Toy Scene is working at Nickelodeon because this is not the first Designer Toy we have seen from the network this year. Check out our feature on the Jason Freeny's SpongeBob Dissectibles Blind Box Series.

This item is not yet available for sale, and no word yet about what event it will be launched at. Although we suspect Designer Con is a safe bet for an Event Specific Public Launch.

POSSESSED 10th Anniversary Edition - by Luke Chueh

Newly re-sculpted for this anniversary version, the pieces include all the subtle changes we wished we did the first time; carved in features, two articulated arms, and improved design to address prior spinning devil issues. Standing roughly at the same 9-inch height as the original, ‘the anniversary edition’ doesn’t have any of the sprays we did to the first run, and none of the color variants from the first one will be done to the new one; excluding the OG. 

Luke Chueh has quickly worked his way up the ranks of the LA art scene, establishing himself as an artist not to be ignored. Employing minimal colour schemes, simple animal characters, and a seemingly endless list of ill-fated situations, Chueh stylistically balances cute with brute, walking the fine line between comedy and tragedy. Chueh’s work has been featured in contemporary art galleries around the world, and reinterpreted as collectible and limited edition vinyl toys.

“Possessed”, is based on the original painting by the acclaimed artist and was his and Munky King’s first toy production. Possessed was sculpted by Dave Bondi.

The 2Vth by Marwan Shahin

This magnificent 9.5 inch polystone sculpture is a hand painted edition of only 50 worldwide. A sculptural object based on a graffiti mural in place during the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. Developed by VTSSTOYS.

"I created the 2Vth mural right after the uprising on this big grey wall in Alexandria, Egypt around mid-February just before the Mubarak regime was taken down, it was really amazing to see how the people started wearing the Guy Fawkes mask in the protests post January 25th 2011." - shared Marwan Shahin.
