Here is a preview of a new vinyl toy series by Bic Plastics. I love the Dia de Los Muertes figure in the forefront. It’s made by Ritzy Periwenkle, one of only two female artists in the series.
The back is really sweet. The figures will be available in August, and they’ll be previewed at Comic con.
More info: “I only had a couple of days to create two design options for BICS Plastics,” explains Ritzy. “The chosen design was inspired by my experiences of Dia De Los Muertos in Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as the ongoing struggles of women all over the world, the revolutionary acts we commit on the daily and the incredible strength of my mom, who passed away 14 years ago.”

If you’re looking for a cool print to add to your home, you have to check out Printed Matter VI at GR2. I dig the above print by Saelee Oh.
APAK will offer these two prints for the show.

Limited-edition prints are one of the best ways for budget-minded and new collectors to acquire artwork and support independent artists, and we are committed to providing this venue on a recurring basis.

Oh my!! Another Comic Con winner from Kidrobot!
Amanda Visell takes the iconic Labbit into wild territory with this SDCC Exclusive! This 5-inch woodland creature, the first Labbit designed by an artist other than creator Frank Kozik, roams the forest with an axe in place of his missing ear. After losing his ear to Kozeek, a deranged lumberjack, the Wood Labbit devises a quite appetizing plan for revenge. At only 300 made, the Wood Labbit is super rare and retails for $50.
Signings: Amanda Visell and Frank Kozik will be chopping it up at SDCC in Booth # 4529 on Saturday, July 25th from 1pm-3pm. There will be a limited number of Wood Labbits available for signing. (Via Kidrobot KRonikle)
