This Saturday at noon EST, the Toypunk vinyl figure, which was designed by Mike Giant, will release here at Reckless Toys. Made in Japan, this is the first and only vinyl toy that's based on a Giant illustration. With the artist's custom lettering printed on the baseball bat and the back, the figure stands at over 8 inches tall, features a removable baseball bat, and is poseable at the wrists, feet and head. Produced at the venerable Obitsu toy factory, the figure will sell for $99, plus $5 U.S. domestic shipping. (The above video is from the forthcoming Toypunks Vol. 2 DVD, with additional footage and photography provided by Reckless' Lance Martin and Toybot Studios' Kirkland Jue.)

Joe and I hung out with Mike Giant and had a great time discussing the proper way to roll your joints, skating, biking, traveling, Buddhism, cool artists, and even a bit about toys. Mike is a super chill dude with amazing talent. We were honored to get a glimpse into his life. And some of the video we shot that day will make it into Toypunks Vol. 2...!
