These aren’t really toys; they belong more in the “ridiculously cool artwork” category. Since they’re at Munky King, the Toys category will have to do for now.

At my last trip to Munky King, I noticed that they had some new t-shirts on display. The new designs are part of Munky King’s artist series. I wasn’t one of the lucky ones who was able to purchase Luke Chueh’s Possessed, so I really like these designs. I’m not a fan of the Old [...]

Elusive is a word that Thomas Han uses to describe his artwork. It can also be used to describe him as an artist. He doesn’t do a lot of interviews, and he mostly stays out of the spotlight. If you believe everything you read on the internet, you wouldn’t know how to describe Thomas Han. [...]

ToyCyte has been covering efforts from the toy community from adFunture to Brothersfree for aiding the victims of last May’s tragic earthquake in China. Most of the projects have been isolated episodes without the far-reaching momentum of a group event. Today brought rad news of a noble (and highly necessary) charity that is sure to [...]

Signings here and signings there, signings were just about everywhere at the San Diego Comic Con. In my haste to try to squeeze in as much as I could on my daily rehashes of all things SDCC, I neglected to post a couple of photos I snapped of some hot sketch and autograph action [...]

Yoskay Yamamoto posted an update on his Koibito: Black. The San Diego Comic-Con exclusive will be available at Munky King’s booth (#4539). The figure is 7″ tall and is a limited edition of 150.
