Site Update: Online Shop and Music

Some new features have been added to the site. There is now an Online Shop and Music section available.

Online Shop:

The Art Gallery has been added as a way for you to get whatever exclusives become available on the site, including custom artwork by your favorite Artists. I decided to go through eBay because everyone has an ebay account, plus it's the fastest and safest way to complete online transactions. Don't worry each item will have a set price, so there won't be any crazy bidding going on. Stop by and check out The Art Galley. Always Seen will have the goods you're gonna need real soon... Stay tuned.

Music:

This feature will only be available on the weekends. I don't want any of you getting in trouble at work or in class during the week. The Weekend Music playlists are uploaded on the Imeem.com server. However, you're gonna have to register if you want to listen to them. The good thing is, Imeem is affiliated with Yahoo so they're legit. If you register, add me as a friend and we can exchange playlists and such. The Weekend Music playlists will be updated weekly with music from all genres.

Usugrow presents REBEL INK

Rebel Ink was designed by Japanese Artist and Icon Usugrow. This figure is produced by Secret Base and initially released in two colorways, black and white. Since it's initial release Rebel Ink has become one of the most popular figures in the designer toy scene. To my knowledge there are seven different editions of Rebel Ink that have released so far. The sculpt is the same on all editions, there's just slight differences in color scheme and in one case tattoo print. The SDCC version has the most variation compared to the rest, the stomach tattoo actually spells SDCC and it sports a completely different back piece than the others(pictured below... Thanks Joe).





Rebel Ink Edition List:

• Black with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
• White with black love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
• Smoke Grey with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
• Milky White with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
• White(Golden Week) with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
  
• Blue(SDCC) with silver SDCC print on the stomach, and variant silver print on the back
• Blue with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back

This is such a popular sculpt that I'm pretty sure more editions are bound to drop. The only one I have right now is the 4th Edition(Milky White), but eventually I plan to track them all down... I know it's gonna cost me a pretty penny though.







Usugrow has collaborated with different companies to produce shirts, prints and even skatedecks(pictured below are samples of his other work).

I really enjoy this guy's stuff so I have his site bookmarked in MY FAVORITE SHIT links.

deliciousdrips.com presents: ME MAD*L DIY Competition

If you get a chance, check out KR message board member nikejerk's entry. I think he's submitting a piece for this competition. Nikejerk is a good friend of mine and I think his work is pretty sick... This should be really good.

Random Stuff: Green Deph Dunny 8"

The Green Deph Dunny 8" was released as a KR message board exclusive in 2006. To this day it remains one of the most sought after Dunnys ever. This is the first piece I spent more than $300 on. To me that's a lot of money but I just had to have it... There's no significant reason for me to post this except for the fact that it still KICKS ASS. Besides it's kind of slow today so I figured I might as well post about a random toy that I like... Enjoy!!!

Tokyo Plastic and MPH Labs present: Koguma

Tokyo Plastic and MPH Labs have collaborated to bring you Koguma. Koguma is basically an anatomically correct 3" figure that sits in a futuristic looking chair with speakers... No it doesn't play music either.

Koguma is set to release this fall in two colorways, black and red(pictured below).



I really like how these look, so both color ways are a must for me. I think it's a great show piece and will look good in any collection.



You can find out more about Koguma by checking: tokyoplastic.com and mphlabs.com
