Another cold wind blows in from the Realm of the Suspiciously High-End Toy. I understand that my love for eBoy is not shared by all (and heavily predicated on my love of Playmobil), and while I can’t really fathom the costs applied to some of their limited edition shirts or painted wooden blocks, Tarina Tarantino’s WGirl [...]

Once again, eBoy drops an image of a potential Peecol figure on their blog without having the common decency to let us know what the hell is going on with the Peecol line. What’s German for ‘bastard’? I’m absolutely a fan of Rungirl, since we usually don’t get that many toys with actual sweat marks. You’d [...]

After weeks of rocketmen, strippers, zombies and robots, I enjoy seeing eBoy return to basics with the design of their (potential?) Rangero figure, decked out like a park ranger. Is it wrong that I kinda want to see a messed up Yogi effigy to pose with him? Thanks, Hanna-Barbera, for making ‘park ranger’ a hilarious [...]

Having just returned home from purchasing the new viking, pirate and elf warrior Playmobil sets, I’m pretty excited to be able to throw a robot invasion into the mix sometime soon. eBoy’s always inspiring blog posted an image of their KidRobot logo & Star Wars inspired Kdr6t Peecol, a golden bot of epic proportions and awesome.

Pillagers, seafarers, peglegs and eyepatchers, we’re having a good year. Not only is Lego cranking out a wide array of pirate-themed sets (one of which includes an octopus, much to my delight), and The Misadventures of Flapjack is better than ever, but this Peecol pirate from eBoy only makes everything rock just a little harder. [...]

eBoy’s new Peecol toy poster is nothing more than an antagonistic, vast field of might-be-beens and might-yet-bes. They taunt me with unmade robots, creepy mimes, scary clowns and an entire unrealized populace of block-folk, often seen hiding in the huge pixelated cityscapes that they create so beautifully. And I want them around me. While these guys [...]

I’ve only recently been won over by eBoy’s occasionally controversial Peecol series of figures, and as a overgrown advocate of the Playmobil aesthetic, I’m all for ‘em. Alas, no amount of digging has revealed what the future of the Peecol line will be, after the recent releases of Santa and Hef, and the preview images [...]

The latest edition of eBoy’s modular Blockbob Eater figure has gone white to match your iPod, winter weather or albino uncle. Like the previous green colorway, he’s made out of Swiss maple wood and stands 8.5 inches tall. The snow edition of Blockbob is limited to just twelve pieces, only six of which are for [...]

German pixel-pirates, eBoy, continue to push the limit of political correctness and controversy with their latest PEECOL figures, Honky & Tonky. Previously seen on $50 t-shirts and $185 hoodies at Kidrobot, Honky & Tonky are White and Black platform figure strippers. These two characters are sure to ruffle some feathers as the PEECOL line [...]

One thing about the PEECOL by Kidrobot format is that you can make pert near any kind of human character out of it. And knowing that, it’s totally natural that eBoy’s PEECOL figure would get a North Pole style makeover. eBoy aka the Berlin based design crew of Steffen Sauerteig, Svend Smital and Kai Vermehr, [...]

Blockbob Eater was designed and manufactured by eBoy. He’s made out of Swiss maple wood, is 8.5 inches tall [...]

Peecol may be a polarizing figure in the designer toy community, but eBoy as an entity is fairly ubiquitous. If you’re a geek, you picked up their poster at MakerFaire. If you like beats, you picked up their cover for the latest issue of BPM. Now eBoy joins Dalek, Jon Burgerman and Friends With You [...]

eBoy’s Kai Vermehr was kind enough to answer a few questions on their upcoming Blockbob Eater. I’ve had my eye on the green wooden figure, which had been teased on their blog and posted in the elusive “Soon” category of their web store. [I'm filing this under Vinyl since we don't have a Wood [...]

A collab between eBoy and iPod makes perfect sense. Both eBoy and Apple share a passion for design and an affinity for beginning words without capital letters. The Berlin-based pixel-pop artists have just released limited edition Peecol, New York and London iPhone skins. 3M Controltac vinyl protection for iPhones runs €15. Check out [...]

Christian Aid TV commercial from cow6oy on Vimeo. With Mother Nature royally pissed off of late, British ad agency SHOP tapped the director trio known as PAM and London-based studio FINISH to bring a TV spot for Christian Aid Week to life. The designs for the ad were illustrated by eBoy in Photoshop, and then [...]

eBoy has been really busy, and their fascination with L.A. extends all the way from Berlin. Their new 46.8 x 33.1-inch L.A. poster (16 Euros) joins the ranks of stellar cities like London, New York, Tokyo, Berlin, Cologne, and Venice, as well as their giant pixelated renderings of events like The Maker Faire. The [...]
