Huck Gee Gold Life Dunnys

A new set of Dunnys has dropped, this time all made by Huck Gee. They're dubbed "Gold Life" and they're totally Asian-inspired, mostly Japanese, but by way of that odd Western way of looking at "Asian" as a universal thing. A few of the figures in this set are boring, imo, like the geisha models, and the er, "human" figures are kinda ubiquitous. For instance, I didn't buy the ninjas in this set because I have the Fox Ninja from the Dunny 2011 set that HG designed and he looks better (again, imo). I bought the highlights, sans the Wandering Monk and Tazmo the Rifleman due to insanity of prices of chase figures on ebay. I did, however, get the Shinsengumi Panda (not what he's called in the set, again, something Western), a samurai-armor-clad rhino and Gold Claw, a white tiger with awesome claws, a cloth cape and a straw hat.

KidRobot X Street Fighter

Adding on to the last post, designer toys have gotten so popular in the last few years, that popular franchises have gotten in on the act. Futurama, The Simpsons, South Park, Family Guy and now Street Fighter have all had lines designed for them. The Street Fighter line - debuted in early July - is especially impressive, representing all 12 of the original World Warriors sporting alternate colors for quite a few of the characters. My favorites of the bunch have to be Dhalsim (his necklace and yoga fire accessory are both awesome), Sagat and Balrog, who I have yet to get.
