Lonely Otaku will not be lonely anymore if you buy this limited print. If you’re one of the lucky 50 owners if this print, be sure to always accompany Lonely Otaku in his exploits in finding Super Puncher figures!
Oops! Lonely Otaku already died, right? So, he will be the one to accompany you!!! XD
This print will be available at DOUBLE PUNCH in San Francisco during "Sun-Min + David Things" show.

Wooo! Here’s what the Super Puncher figure should look like. I WANT! XD
Hmm…this reminds me of David Horvath’s 2 Faced Dunny series, wherein you rotate the head 180 degrees to reveal a different form. Come to think of it, the concept is quite similar to Shurikenger (Green Ranger in Hurricanger) figure by Bandai.
For those who have the Japanese version of the toy, you know what I’m talking about. Hehe.
Lookie, lookie! This is the "Yokai" mode:
This is the Super Puncher mode:

…and so do they!
Ohhh treasure~
The Uglies sure stumbled upon a great treasure — food! Look at their eyes! Look at them as they slowly reach out to the pie. XD
*Thanks to whoever took this picture. It’s really fun to take pictures of the vinyls. They’re so wacky, and their eyes are really expressive.*

It’s not only people who wants to belong, even the Uglies feel that way.
No matter how hard we try to blend in, we will always stand out. Each being is unique. That’s what makes our lives very special.

This is a collaboration project between Gargamel and David Horvath / Sun-min Kim. It’s a pocket kaiju which will be released at Uglycon Tokyo on October 10, 2008.
Here’s the amusing story behind this very unique figure: Lonely Otaku collected too many used Super Puncher Robot toys. He made weekly trips to Akihabara and bought at least one used Super Puncher robot toy on each visit! This was unhealthy, so he died. He came back as Super Puncher Yokai Robot ghost! Now he can’t buy anything.

Here’s another hairy Circus Punks. It’s also 14 inches in height and features our all-time favorite, hungry spider. It’s a bit difficult to display since it takes a lot of space and the height part is quite tricky. I just left mine in the box until I find a suitable shelf space behind glass for it.
Yup, behind glass! To avoid dust and other baddies in the air. Besides, we’re not allowed to leave stuff lying around in our rooms. Even dolls should be stored in shelves and not on the bed. Hehe.
Hmm…maybe I should turn my room into a museum. XD

It’s plush doll and vinyl figure in one! Featuring David Horvath’s creation, Pounda.
This is a rare Circus Punks figure and it’s quite big with a height of 14 inches.
Pounda is rarely seen as a toy. This character is usually seen in prints. A prototype vinyl set (Pounda and Chu-Chu) was produced for SDCC 2005 though.

I got this photo from Flickr. The owner sure has a lot of Uglydolls and he/she made this color wheel using his/her precious dolls. Really creative! XD
I still don’t have that much dolls. I want to own a lot one of these days. But right now, I’m focusing on completing the vinyl and kaiju figures. Even though the solid pieces are few, they’re very hard to find. I must focus! Hehe.
