TeXt Marks The Spot

In the fall of 2008, times were getting tough. There was hope, but it couldn’t come quick enough for many people. I couldn’t save anybody from a foreclosure, but I could partner up with a toy store from Taipei and a toy designer from Tokyo to make people laugh with a contest of truly lowbrow proportions.

I don’t typically go for potty humor, but I’m crazy about Touma’s Pooty figure. There’s something so absurd about a skunk off-gassing a vinyl fart cloud. Every time I look at them, they make me smile. To that extent, we’re giving away three of the figures in exchange for a laugh. The funniest comment will receive the rare all-black Pooty figure signed, dated and doodled as a collab between Touma, ToyCyte and Paradise Toy Land (who donated the figure for the global good of rebuilding the ozone layer one poot at a time). Two runners up will be awarded the standard pink (with grey) and standard blue (with purple) Pooty figures, also signed and dated by Touma. All figures are 8 inches tall, produced in China by Headlock Studio and feature articulation at the poot. Each one comes in a window box with a Paradise canvas tote bag.
