ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Here’s a new toy to start getting stoked about: Mad Puss by Monty in conjunction with Pretty in Plastic. The hooded cat lives in a futuristic UK and and totes around “the Mad Puss Milk.” This milk is a reference to the Jamaican expression, “Yu musi a drink mad puss milk.” Don’t quote me on this, but I think Monty told me the usage of such a phrase would be toward someone who is acting a bit crazy. Monty had some prototypes of the forthcoming vinyl figure and an animation. It’s possible a Mad Puss Milk drink may be in the works for the Japanese market (who enjoy “milk” flavor more than most.) As for the phrase, basically, if the security guard standing near Bic Plastics mentioned in this post had been Jamaican, she might have said it to me. I gave Monty my card; it’s no secret I’m a fan of cat toys. Send updates on Mad Puss!
