    And the SUCKDOMINUS FIGURE is SOLD OUT! Not even a full day. Shows how quick his drops sell out. The SUCKPEGS will eventually sell out as always. The Shark Suckpeg is cool so I can see it selling out fast.

          Looks like Destro and Baroness are sold out now too as of Sunday night. Still Destro left, although you think that anyone buying these would be buying all three as a set.

          It says on the website that the GI Joe pegs were limited to 10 each? I'm surprised they lasted until now. Lots of Joe fans out there with disposable income at every toy show.

            The trading cards look like they come in wax packs. That would be amazing. Has anyone ordered those? I'm curious if they really are in wax packs.

              The concept is to make toys that suck?

                Yes, they are and come with gum.

                  B,

                  The concept is making bootleg toys that are made in Chinatown, NYC. Kinda like the stuff made in Mexico, China and East Europe but he's made them art pieces. Really cool stuff. I'm addicted but the prices for a drop are way up there and apparently some of his drops have ended up being auction at Sotheby's but his recent ones are being sold through his site, shows or events like SDCC.
                  I've already made a custom black SalaryStak in Mego size.

                      That's cool. I seriously have never heard of this and now that you've explained it, I can dig.

                      So the "suck" is out of love and admiration for the cheap knockoff wonder, although they are being elevated here to "high art," which is fantastic! Very guerrilla.

                          You have to appreciate both the nostalgia love, and the really twisted sense of humour in his stuff. In many ways, it's kind of the flipside to the urban vinyl art toy movement (while at the same time embracing/sending up much of the conceits).







                          Apparently, even the gum sucks... it's just bubblegum scented. Don't try and eat it.


                          It appears to be on it's second series!

                            I just watched the whole video for the Suckadelic trading cards. Man, I am so totally jealous that they have their cards sealed in wax packs! Has anyone here actually picked up these cards? If so, are you a card collector or was it just a random thing because you're a fan of the toys?

                            With the exception of the Mego Museum cards (and all of the other many awesome cards made by the guys around here), most of the cards that I collect are from the 1960s - 1980s, but these Suckadelic cards are just so awesome that I would totally pick some up if they weren't so expensive.

                              Here's the video promo...
                              http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05I5rabWG4U
                              shows how it produced old-school (check out the wax package printing!), and you see the Sucklord himself setting "chase" cards on fire, splattering them with paint and shooting them with a gun.
