Allen Ginsberg Howl
Back in the day, my brother read a lot of books. Most of those, he would hand to me and say, “read this.” Not a lot of fanfare, just “read this.” Honestly, it worked. That’s how I found Kerouac, Camus, Burroughs, Salinger and of course, Allen Ginsberg. I always preferred the more off beat William [...]
The London Police
I’m not sure what it is about The London Police, but I’ve always loved the style. I’m guessing it has something to do with the simplicity of the artwork. I say that, but that is certainly an oversimplification. The subject matter can be deep or whimsical — sometimes both. The brush stroke width is what [...]
Hal Jordan Has … Cameltoe??
Wait, what? Yeah, you heard me. Check this Robert Tonner Green Lantern doll from seller mrodriguez2236. That sure looks like cameltoe to me. Poor guy. Hal looks much better from this angle, fear not! Now, it’d be different if it was on Wonder Woman or Black Canary. Hell, dudes might pay extra for that … [...]
Secret Base Obake
The term Obake has a few translations. It’s a Japanese word that is often loosely translated as ghost. This term is most prevalent in Hawaii (of all places). It’s mostly due to the large Japanese influence on the island. But in a more general sense, it translates as thing that changes shape with a very [...]
NagNagNag x Mishka Raw Power
This is perhaps the ugliest piece I’ve ever seen. It’s the NagNagNag x Mishka RAW POWER Boryoku Genjin. Yes, it’s a mouthful. But it’s modeled after one of my favorites. Iggy Pop of The Stooges. This was a super limited piece (just 10, yes, just 10) that was released for a special show by Coop, [...]
Mickey Mouse Isn’t Paying The Bills Anymore
Have you noticed the recent of appearance in Disney in all sorts of new places? I know I have. It seems like Disney is attempting to branch out. After 90 years, someone realized it was time to mix it up. And this makes sense too. Traditionally, Disney’s target demographic has been children age 0 – [...]
Dee, Ricky, Legos & G-Shocks
Once upon a time, there were a few classic toys that were untouchable. You know. Those toys that couldn’t be ruined. Couldn’t “jump the shark.” My short list is model trains, lincoln logs and Legos. I was all about lincoln logs as a kid. You could build all day, make a whole town, then drive [...]
False Friend
When the False Friend Paw shipped a while back, LOTS of people received them with imperfections. And some people received empty boxes. I swear, it happened to one of our bloggers. COARSETOYS went out of their way to make it right though. Good for them. They shipped new units, they took care of their customers. [...]
Super7 Super Shogun Stormtrooper
Super7 dropped this awesome Stormtrooper a few days back. It’s pretty dope. Standing at 24″ tall with a shooting fist. Throw in the wheeled feet, and I’m sold. I’m sure others would have a lot more to say about this piece, but I’ll just say, it’s fucking dope. I am big on Start Wars, always [...]
Usugrow Rebel Ink
I’ve always like Usugrow’s work. Something about the style reminds me of Lone Wolf meets Mister Cartoon. I like that. A real street feel, you know? I think what really attracts me to Usugrow’s work is his use of font. Dude has some crazy ill font styles. Now I’m not a font professional, so I’m [...]
