Trashola’s Josh Divine and I seem to be bumping into each other everywhere we go. I’ve only know Josh about 6 or 7 months, perhaps a bit longer. He’s become a good friend and an artist I greatly admire. Josh recently took the munny pill and went down the rabbit hole… Have a look at what’s come out. Introducing “PINKO” munny. Rad Josh.

Just got this in a email titled “spring is right around the corner.” This is what happens when you coop up an awesome illustrator in arctic conditions. If you aren’t familiar with Kristan Kluver’s (aka KLVR) work, you should be. His site is currently under construction, but should be up real soon.

So, yesterday we mentioned that shit was gettin’ really arty again over at the Bonatakis x Holland household (our home away from our homes), well here’s some further proof. We’ve all been discussing toy design a great deal lately and been brainstorming various ways to better share conceptual toy design with one another and the general toy-loving public. Mr. Holland translated all that discussion into his first two conceptual custom Munny designs in the form of one of his favorite characters, Pubear. Josh has been drawing Pubear since college, and has even narrated and illustrated a brief comic around the character.
We’ve seen lots of toys, lots of customs, particularly Munnies, being the designer toy-geeks that we are. But… these two Munnies are FUCKING SPECTACULAR. Josh’s illustration style is hands down one of our favorites. Knowing Josh and how he thinks makes these two characters that much more powerful and visually engaging. I personally have a shitload of toys, arguably too many. These two, while not fully realized yet due to their conceptual nature, sit atop the heap. Nice work bro. Inspiring and all that shit… I guess I’ll get a closer look when I pop by to catch up on the Alexander fight?

Our bro, Kristian Kluver (rockety-fly.com) helped out another good homey, Graham “G-RAM” Ferrhar with some armeteurs for a stop-motion film Graham’s been workin’ on. G-RAM returned the favor with a custom “Fuckface” Munny to add to Kluver’s array of “Fuckface” related artwork. DOPE. Kluver ran the Munny by for us to check out and we just had to take some pics.

We try to stay away from just plain pluggin’ fresh shit like all the rest of the cool hunting blog maniacs our there, but being a Kid Robot retailer gives us access to the hot new shit and this puppy is DOPE. The Mini MUNNY can go fast or go slow - know why? Because of the Mini MUNNY Mobile! The DIY Mini MUNNY Mobile is 8 inches long, comes blind packaged with 4 mystery accessories (in classic MUNNY style) to deck out Mini MUNNY’s ride, a removable super cute Mini MUNNY, real rolling wheels, and a giant road map by iLovedust to color, treasure, eat off of or just plain enjoy!
Take an adventure with MUNNY! Drive to Argentina with MUNNY. Race around Nürburing with MUNNY. Explore Stonehenge with MUNNY. Get a taco with MUNNY. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
Kidrobot’s newest Do-It-Yourself soft vinyl creation, the Mini MUNNY Mobile can be parked in your driveway starting June 14th.

Denver is home to some exceptional artists. Damon Willard is on of ‘em and he’s a rad artist. He customized this Munny for us. Unfortunately, it’s already accounted for, but it’s worth seeing. Check it. We’re hoping to get him to have a show up in the Engine soon - stay posted.

Markham Maes customized this sick ass munny. If you’re a regular reader, you may remember that this piece was featured in the “Toys You Can’t Have, But Want” post. Well that was a lie. It’s actually for sale.
The ears were cut off and individual teeth glued in to form the mouths. The detail is fantastic. I wonder if he’ll bust out some toys for his upcoming show?
