Some People...

TADO Sissyfists PuchooStill haven't figured it out yet. Pottery, not toys! Sheesh, what do I have to do around here to convince people. Anyway, I got an e-mail this weekend from My Plastic Heart letting me know that they have some new toys in stock and that if you place your order by 8:00pm EST today, you will receive it by Christmas. If you live in the United States, that is. Christmas, shmistmas! Who cares if it is a few days late. Do you think Santa minds? Less crap for him to carry. Anyway, the first toy on Satan's list is this Limited Ed. 2005 Taiwan Toy Festival version TADO Sissyfists' Puchoo 3" vinyl toy. This figure represents the mascot/percussionist of the Tokyo die-hard punk band The Sissyfists. Apparently they are the worst Crass tribute band you could ever imagine, with a touch of Melt Banana and a little Sick of It All. Sounds wonderful. I'll have to download some of their music to check it out. The figure is also only available from My Plastic Heart.
Bastardino
Next up we got the cute little Cactus Friends from Italian artist Simone Legno and his art brand tokidoki. The cute, prickly little bastards are apparently taking the world by storm. The only one currently available is the little pooch Bastadino, but the rest should be available soon. The Cactus Friends are tokidoki's first entry into the world of designer toys, but based on their cuteness, they won't be the last.
