Mini Vinyl Toys Inspired By Nintendo Cartridges
We here at Albotas get all warm and happy inside our guts whenever the worlds of gaming culture and designer toy culture cross paths. Such is the case with Mini 10-Doh! Series 1 from Squid Kids Ink. We’ve featured their So Analog figures on the site before, but we’re super excited for this series of 3.5” mini figures with 16 designs from 12 different artists.
The artist lineup includes Andrew Wilson, Doktor A, Jerome Lu, Jesse Hernandez, Kozik, Kwestone, Luke Chueh, Matt JOnes, Nakanari, Nate Mitchell, Scott Tolleson, and Tracy Tubera.
These little dudes will retail for $10 each. For wholesale inquiries, hit up DKE Toys.
Custom Wario Game Boy
By the one and only OSKUNK, of course. It goes great with his custom Wario Munny.
These 8-Bit Butcher Diagrams Make Me Wonder What Koopa Tastes Like
Check out these illustrations by Jude Buffum for Giant Robot’s “Pixel Pushers” show sponsored by Scion.
From the artist:
I decided to explore the carnivorous side of the world of video games. Though I am still a meat eater, I have a lot of vegan friends and have been exploring the ethical, environmental, and health impact of consuming an animal-based diet. That, and my long-time obsession with butcher diagrams, were the inspiration for this series.
If someone told me they had a long-time obsession with butcher diagrams, I’d probably expect them to be a serial killer, so I’m glad Mr. Buffum channels his energy into making sweet art instead of cutting people up. At least as far as we know.
