TAG Spotlight: Alien Argus and Waotoyz!
It’s time for another Toy Art Gallery product spotlight! First up we have the newest Alien Argus edition designed by Mark Nagata and produced by Toy Art Gallery. Inspired by poisonous Amazonian tree frogs, this Argus has it all with glow in the dark Japanese soft vinyl with fluorescent red, green and yellow spray and extra black and purple detailing! Unlike his namesake, he’s safe to touch (or lick). As a special bonus, we also have two BLANK editions of Argus at a special low price. Both GLOW and RED Arguses (Argi?) are ready to be customized, or, if you prefer, left blank to enjoy the sculpt. All are available now!
The next toy we wanted to share is the funky O.G. Kaiju Waodog from Waotoyz! Designed by Swiss creator Waotoyz and produced in Japan by Lulubell Toys, this crazy canine is available in TWO TAG exclusive colorways, “Mr. Gold” and “Mr. Pink Panther”. Each features awesome soft vinyl techniques (hyper lamé and clear pink!) and truly unique sculpting and paint applications. We love this doggy here at TAG and we hope you will too. Check them out here!
We also have a very limited amount of Bellicose Bunnies from our recent Nathan Hamill signing (check out the photos on our facebook!). All are signed and sketched, so don’t snooze if you’ve had your eye on one. Grab one here!
Nathan Hamill’s Bellicose Bunny Release and Signing this Friday!
The Bunny takes flight! Come out to Toy Art Gallery’s new showroom on Melrose Ave. and celebrate the release of the new vinyl by 3DRetro x Nathan Hamill, Bellicose Bunny!
It is limited to 200 pieces and will retail for $50. Bellicose prints and T-shirts will be for sale as well.
DJ Mike Turski will be spinning a fine blend of space-themed garage, punk and psychobilly for your listening pleasure.
For those of you, who haven’t heard the tale, the story is as such…
“Forged by the stars and space alike, and stuff and things, the Bellicose Bunny was enlisted by top minds throughout the universe to seek out, thwart and destroy all known evil. Equipped with a pair of space goggles and the Sword of Ulyssia, he mounted his Daucus: Class 8 Rocket and embarked on his quest. Now he’s reached this galaxy and needs our help in his noble mission. Hear his cry for peace: ‘Starbunny Fields Forever!”
The Bellicose Bunny Launch Party and Signing will be held on Friday, September 30th from 7-11 PM at TAG’s new showroom located at 7571 Melrose Ave. See you there!
“Brain Evolution” and TAG Opening Night Pictures!
We just wanted to take a minute and thank EVERYONE who came out to the “Brain Evolution” and Toy Art Gallery Grand Opening last Friday night! We had an insane week setting up the new space and it was really satisfying seeing it finished and watching people enjoy themselves.
Keep an eye on the store this weekend as we finish adding “Brain Evolution” customs and a huge smorgasbord of new products and exclusives, including a few very hot vinyl figures that managed to slip through the cracks.
