McDonald’s Japan knows how to market those Happy Meal toys…

These kids are the epitome of crazy cute Asian kids.  I want one, not the toy but the kid, for when I need a good laugh. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone in Japan is developing one as we speak à la Haley Joel Osment in A.I. Artificial Intelligence.

Skwak Dunny

I don’t think I’ve been this excited about an 8″ Dunny since the Flying Fortress release  about 2 years ago.  I haven’t been too crazy about a lot of the recent releases, but French artist Skwak has just reignited my interest in the whole scene.  This new Dunny looks amazing!  Limited to 500, make sure [...]

These guys are limited to 125 pieces so try [...]

“Hoophy” series by Shin Tanaka

Paper toys are quickly becoming the coolest thing since sliced bread.  I think the best part about them is that they’re practically free if you don’t include the cost of paper and printer ink.  They’re pretty hard to make and sometimes will take some know-how to make them look display worthy.

Blast Them With Marshmallows!

The season finale of Entourage earlier this month had Ari Gold going around his old office and annihilating everyone with a paintball gun. Ari is pretty badass, but no matter how cool it may sound, I doubt I’d be able to have a paintball war at my work.  In comes the Executive Elite Marshmallow Blaster [...]

Featured Artist: Maxime Archambault

Montreal-born artist Maxime Archambault lives in a world much alike the world Hamburger Disco wants to be in. “My imagination draws its inspiration from a childish world.  It is composed mainly by friendly monsters, clouds and brightly coloured rainbows”, he says on his website S3projects.com.  Just take a look at these custom Munny’s and Dunny’s [...]

Krunk-A-Claus Dunny (3-Inch)

As far as urban vinyl artists go, Tado is definitely one of my faves, if not my #1 favorite.  Every holiday season Kid Robot releases a special Christmas themed 3″ Dunny.  You might remember last year’s reindeer, or the gingerbread man before that.   This one is definitely my favourite of the bunch.  Tado nailed [...]

Flight of the Conchords – Papercraft

You gotta love Papercraft – They’re fun to do, they look cool, and it’s all free.  I haven’t made any in awhile, but now Papercraft is really picking up steam.  You can probably find a nice papercraft model for anything nowadays. Artist Morgan Gleave has reinvigorated my interest in the artform by creating everyone’s favourite [...]
