What is this we see

It would seem that Veggisomething and Crazy Label have been busy people. These three photos have been posted through their Flickr sites displaying a gorgeous new baby monk toy and a pair of Grand Sifu Monks.

The baby Monk has no details posted but it looks as though there is a Rotofugi version if the bronze edition follows its forefathers footsteps.

The two Sifu monks came with this caption from Veggisomething:

“I got some factory samples from Crazy Label. Woohoo!
This is the Grand Sifu Monk from my House of Liu character line.
Oh, the weapon as shown is a temporary placement. We’re working on some different weapon ideas. ”

We are exited to see what the final versions will bring us in terms of the weapons.

    The McBess Dunny, to be, or not to be ???

    KidRobot asked the artist McBess and others for some test designs. Above is the one McBess mocked up, and it’s one of the sickest Dunny designs I’ve seen in recent times, however they wound up turning it down. Luckily, there’s still a good chance that it might go into production some time in the future. (anon source)
