Latest sucklord drops...

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.

The Packaging is pretty amazing, too. Great pieces all around.

Looks like the new drops sold out in record time. I was in the theater watching the latest installment of Pirates of the Caribbean and when I walked out the I got the email only to find out it sold out really fast.


**addendum**
I managed to score a pink carded one. Curious to see which one I get.

I wish I had all of the Sleestak figures. I was never quick enough to make a purchase before they sold out.

Where can we get Outer Spacemen cards?

"We are designing them now, and hoping to release series 1 in October 2011.
(maybe at NYC comic-con)"

My package just arrived from Suckadelic, and yes, they truly suck (bubble is taped on with scotch tape, but were worth the laughs as well. The writing on the file cards and packaging are really inspired. Also came with a bunch of stickers and cards. Not to mention a Microsexuals post-card. Funny stuff.

Fun.

Yup, good stuff. Just received a couple more drops and plan on hanging on wall. Really digging his style.

Wade,

Go the Sidekick Media site and they have some pertinent info. Seems they sell the suckpax and other lines like Art Hustle and The Outer Spacemen at trade card shows.

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.

I have both the first and second series cards aquired from ebay. Both of my sets though are just the basics-- all cards and check list and for the second series I got the wrappers with it

I picked up the cards because it was a SUCK item I could actually afford and it is a great way to see many of the wonderful toys he has made. I am not really a big card collector, but in this case I made an exception

also on ebay and worth the 20$ (and signed, limited to 500) is a catalog sucklord made for the recent Boo-hooray exhibit.This prperback book is excellent and gives a lot of info as well as a ton of pictures for many of the pieces and things he has done.

Here's the video promo...

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.

Apparently he's the Hunter S Thompson of nerd culture...

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!

[SeattleEd]

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.

Exactly, B!
He's been doing it since '04 and has even done commercials and videos.

Wade,
Yes, they are and come with gum.
Here is the youtube video review. Pretty damn cool.

Haha! That's just too awesome!
