KAWS – “Partners”

KAWS has dropped his first figure of 2012. The piece entitled “Partners” Is quite different for the former graffiti artist, it features a sculpt of the artist standing next to his companion figure  and is modeled after the statue at Disneyland featuring Walt Disney standing next to Mickey Mouse.  Click HERE for more info.

Video: Masters of the Universe?

There is trouble brewing in Eternia. Trouble over who is the real master of the universe,... the He-Man universe. Toy Masters is a documentary that covers the creation and history of the He-Man franchise (toys, cartoons, etc..) as well the ongoing battle over who actually created the brand.

I was a huge He-Man dork, had Castle Grayskull and watched the cartoon religiously. I never questioned the over the top homo-eroticism of it or Aryan uber human undertone (sporting the Nazi Grand Iron cross on his chestplate). I'm happy to see a documentary on the subject in which the participants seem happy to talk shit about each other. Check out a 7 minute preview below...
