Arkiv x Adfunture TTF Print

Arkiv Inc is set to release an exclusive TTF print with Adfunture. It's a limited edition of only 50 prints. Each 12" by 12" print is hand signed and numbered. The price is to be announced at the venue.

Arkiv Instant Pre-Order

The pre-order for the Arkiv Instant vinyl figure began today - Monday, June 1st - and will run until Tuesday, June 30th. If you want to get your hands on one, you're able to pre-order via the adFunture website. The retail price of each figure is $60 (plus shipping). This vinyl figure stands around 11" in height and the first edition will ONLY be produced on a By-Order-Basis...so it's limited to whoever pre-orders.

Suitman from adFunture

Okay...why do I now have Soundgarden's 1994 hit song Spoonman stuck in my head?  (I hope someone else has the same problem now)  Well, this is actually Suitman...designed by Young Kim and produced by adFunture.  The piece is a little over 11" in height and will run you $60.

PUMA "Beijing Jian" YOKA 10" Jamaica Edition

AdFunture has produced the above YOKA vinyl in celebration of sports lifestyle company PUMA's "Beijing Jian" campaign.  Each "Beijing Jian" Jamaica color themed YOKA stands 10" tall, and sports a slightly different graphic design from its smaller counterpart.  It includes Jamaica's flag largely painted on the back and the BJJ campaign logo printed on the bottom of the foot. There are only 100 pieces made.

Perk Pioneers

The Perk Pioneers, designed by Shanghai design duo - PERK, are produced by adFunture.  You should soon see the 3.5" tall figures roll into shops near you (or into online stores).  Personally, I'm a little creeped out by them.  They remind me of the little kid from The Grudge.

NYCC 2008: adFunture

This is the first convention we've seen adFunture at since back at Toy Fair 2005.  It's not like they haven't been busy producing pieces.  They have...and some pretty cool ones at that.

They had a nice setup at NYCC, showing off the Pork Dumpling Shawnimals, the DGPH vinyl line (a personal favorite), some Teddy Troops, BUKA Series 1 and a few other lines.

BUKA Series 1

AdFunture's BUKA Series 1 should begin hitting shops in the US shortly.  The 3" tall figure was released several months ago at the Taipei Toy Festival...but it took a little bit to get the final artist list assembled.  And the BUKA series creator Sichi has assembled a great group of artists for Series 1.  But is it me, or does it look like someone chopped the head off of their rubber ducky? 

Wholesale inquiries can directed to DKE Toys.

Eggplant Parmesan...MMMM

The Argentinian-based design collective DGPH has released the above photo of their upcoming Berenjena (Spanish for eggplant) vinyl figure from adFunture.  The figure will be approximately 6" in height and available in various colorways.

Personally, I like what DGPH has been producing.  Their designs are always clean, simple and fun.

Topo Vinyl from DGPH

The folks from the Argentinian based studio - DGPH - have finally released their Topo character's vinyl figure.  Produced by adFunture, the toy is available in four different versions.

G-Robot from adFunture

According to DKE Toys, adFunture's G-Robot figure is set to be delivered to the wholesaler this month.   The Original colorway, limited to 400 pieces, and the Desert Camo (or as the ad says...Desset Camo) will be limited to a run of 300.
