Watch Yo Back...

Watch Yo Back,

That's what I call this photo.  When MAD dropped 411 about his Kidrobot Mascot figure I knew I had to have it so that I could snap this pic.  There's a message in this photo, but I'll let you all figure it out or interpret it with your own eyes.  *Wink* *wink*

So super stoked...

I'm so super stoked,

To have these in my collection.  MAD came out with these "Sharpest Sprayers Prototype" one-off's in his store a few years ago.  I REALLY wanted to purchase them when MAD first dropped him in his online store, but around that time I had purchased some other goodies for the collection, and I kinda jus' forgot about them.

Then MAD had done the unthinkable, he had posted some 411 on a massive sale at his online store and everything from prints to figures, including these guys went for hella sick prices.  I quickly jumped on my computer to see if I could get my hands on these figs, but I was too late. 

So fast forward to present day, a fellow collector gmiddleswarth posted his collection on the KR boards, and part of his (very sick) collection included MAD's one-off's.  Gmiddleswarth's collectionis ridiculous, he has some very heavy hitter goods, from 3A, Scribe, Jesse Hernandez and Mist, just to name a few.  In fact check his goodies out in his thread: http://forums.kidrobot.com/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=162159.  I complemented him with, "Those are prototype Sharpest Sprayers from MAD himself, very jealous may I add, lol. I so wanted those bad boys with my collection."

To my astonishing surprise, the unthinkable happened yet again.  Gmiddleswarth pm'd me asking me if I was interested in purchasing MAD's one-off's.  I couldn't friggen believe it.  I was so excited, I quickly jumped on it and said "Yes!"  I got so excited, I then sent a follow up message apologizing for not thanking him for the offer, haha that's how excited I was.

I can't say how thankful I am for having these guys in my collection, I really like MAD's work, especially with his Sharpest Sprayers and Bent World figures that he came out with.  He has a few drops coming up including a Kidrobot Mascot "Riot" figure which will be dropping this week along with his Bent World Beats mini's which will be dropping later this summer.  All I know is that I can't wait.

But ya, I snapped these pics, and to you gmiddleswarth, you da man my friend, thanks again for these bad boys!

One MAD family...

Today I'm featuring another one of my favorite artists,

This time, MAD.  I really like the bold lines of MAD's figures and the whole theme of the hip/hop and urban world of his designs.  MAD has done a number of figs including Dunnys, his own line of blind box figs and MADL's...wicked talent.  In the pic below (from left to right) are his two Bentworld Vandals, one of his Dunny designs,  his two Sharpest Sprayers and in the back his TV Head.  I really like how he uses black and gold in some of his figures, so after I got the TV Head (which I've been looking for for a loooong time, lol) I grabbed up all of my black and gold MAD figs and snapped this pic.  (Thanks Cheeky for the TV Head n the Sharpest Sprayer figs!)
