News flash from Spanky Stokes ---
A very interesting solicitation email came our way this morning. Not
only was it interesting in what it contained, but it was even more
interesting (to us anyway) about who it was from. "B-KAWZ: APPROPRIATING THE APPROPRIATOR" is a new vinyl figure from Necessaries Toy Foundation
With this new release, they are pretty much doing what artist Kaws
already does... taking a classic character, putting XX's on the eyes as
well as minimal additional sculpted elements, and calling it their own.
Now, Kaws does nothing for us in that sense... not very creative -
although a few of his designs are great - nothing in recent memory is
very original... that's why after seeing this "bootleg" or "tribute" to
Kaws is actually kinda cool.
and...
...uncovered some flashback photos from 2006 in the studio in the back of Meltdown Comics!

We love
Luke Chueh, and we're super thrilled with how this figure turned out! We were fortunate enough to get to bring Luke's vision to life by creating the sculpt and master cast for his "Target" figure...and it turned out pretty perfect, if you don't mind us saying. ;)
This new colorway is releasing soon at
Munky King in Los Angeles....be there for the launch and get yours before they're gone!
This Black and Gold colorway (ed. of 500) features a brilliant red wall with a matte black bear, gold target and paint bucket.
Target will retail for $120 & will drop March 16th, 2013 at Munky King studio and online (@ 5pm PST). Luke Chueh will be on hand from 1-4pm to sign. Come hang with your favorite artist, check out our new studio, and enjoy good food and good music.
