Emon Burton Qee
Monday, September 21st, 2009Ian Christy’s new Emon Burton Qee Bear from Toy2R with it’s retro patchwork design is about to drop. Limited to 500 pieces, this one has a light-hearted reanimated vibe in homage to a certain director.

Tuesday, September 8th, 2009YHWH Vinyl Figure by Mark Ryden
Monday, September 7th, 2009The long-awaited first and probably only vinyl figure we will ever see from the vivid imagination of Mark Ryden. It has been over 3 years in production and has gone through two different manufacturers and dozens of rejected prototypes. Saying the realization of YHWH has been a bit of a nightmare is an massive understatement!!! Sometimes persistence pays off and sometimes it pays double. YHWH is finally completed and it is everything it was intended to be and comes packaged in what is quite possibly the most beautiful, elaborate box ever produced for a vinyl toy.
Necessaries Toy Foundation has been bombarded by over zealous collectors consistently for the last 8 months. Vinyl collectors are rabid that is of course no surprise, but fans of Mark Ryden are completely devoted and unrelenting in their quest for any product bearing his name and editions of his sell out within minutes.
Figure is limited to 2000 pieces worldwide. Figures stands 17 inches tall.
