17.06.08

Our pal Phu just doesn’t stop… customizing the shit outta some of the best toys around. We can’t get enough of his work. I frikin’ love it! His incessantly updated site is pretty amazing too. If you haven’t really dug in yet, you oughtta. This time it’s a 9″ Bootleg Kaws Chum customized using acrylic paint, one bamboo stick, brass rivets, Phu’s signature zip ties, cloth, plastic bottle caps, and some screws… damn. Creativity taken out on toys the way it should be.
