REVIEW: Pierce and Dogboy P&P Exclusive

Background

Plastic and Plush’s first exclusive figure was released back on St. Patrick’s Day. We teamed up with Carnival Cartoons to release a special green colorway of their Pierce and Dogboy Carney set.

Pierce and Dogboy are the Carney family mischief makers! Pierce is the quintessential bratty younger brother and Dogboy is Pierce’s pal, a loving pet, and…a fur covered wingman! Pierce relishes his gross-out gig as “The Human Pincushion” in the family sideshow act (He’s got more holes in him than the boardwalk put-put course). When Dogboy isn’t doing double duty as the family’s household hound, and Pierce’s partner in crime, he wows the crowds at Barker’s sideshow with his furry face and outrageous animals antics!

Packaging

The Pierce and Dogboy figures come packaged in a window-front box with a flame cutout. The above biographical information is reprinted on the back of the box, along with illustrations of the two characters. The figures come packaged in a plastic tray (no twist ties).

The Carney's at NY Comic Con

In preparation for NYCC '09, the Carney kids - Pierce, Nathan and Buzz - decided to take a trip to Three Kings Tattoo in their hometown of Brooklyn, NY.

All eyes will be on them at this years con, so they have to be sure they look their best. Matty No Times of Three Kings freshened up some ink on Buzz, while Pierce wandered around & checked out the latest assortment of gauge jewelry at the counter. Nathan, not getting any work done, decided to check out the assortment of cool art books & offer moral support to his big brother Buzz (who can be a bit of a crybaby at times) Jared Deal happened to be there with his camera & decided to have a little impromptu photoshoot w/ the boys.
