DKE is back at Designer Con November 21-22 Booth #812. We have a lot to get through before the show doors open! DKE will have over 2 dozen art toy releases, 2 art shows and a few other tricks up our sleeves.
What do you get when Good For You Toys, Special Ed Toys and Luke Chueh collaborate? Good For Chueh Toys! Luke Chueh’s BOBAS’ BOBA. Chueh’s iconic Boba painting has been interpreted for the first time as a carded 3.75” non-action figure.
Once a target is neutralized and secured, the Boba man enjoys a little “boba time” with a refreshing boba tea.
Limited Edition. Hand cast resin, painted, and autographed 3 ¾” carded figures. Retail is $110 tax included and there will be 40 available at the show.
Also from Good For You Toys…
Who is IZA Man? With the first sparks of fire by hand, IZA was awoken.
Kissing the sacred leafs of the Canibus with fire opened a path for IZA to the physical world.
Sometimes, when the thoughts of man are elevated high into the clouds of being, IZA can be glimpsed battling the demonic hoard of the cancerous Paranoids.
IZA promotes understanding. Elevating thought and perception. Encouraging creativity. Calming souls. Easing pain and sickness. Laying the righteous hammer of peace when necessary. That IZA MAN.
Designer Con 2015 brings forth the mystical debut edition of IZA MAN. Limited to 20 hand numbered pieces in glow in the dark clear resin with green highlights. Brought to you by Good For You Toys.

Richard Page, founder of UME-Toys, is a creative professional whose background is founded in graphic design. UME-Toys (You&Me) came to life as a joint project with his daughter @elmos_empire to serve as an outlet for their joint ideas whilst she was being home schooled. Always a keen doodler Richard began to turn his sketches into finished resin collectables, growing the UME brand through social media, gallery shows and word of mouth. In 2014 he won the prestigious Clutter Designer Toy Awards for best resin toy with his cute GeekWok character. www.UMETOYS.NET | www.dketoys.com | #customgeekwok

Just when we said we were done announcing SDCC 2015 stuff here’s 9os Vader by DrilOne. It is a hand painted and customized replica Darth Vader helmet. Come check it out at DKE booth #5045. It’s an awesome 1/1.
This is the last release DKE is announcing before San Diego Comic Con 2015. There will be some other stuff at the booth though including a replica Darth Vader helmet customized by DrilOne. The official DKE Cheat Sheet will post later today. See you in San Diego!
Attackers of the Missing Stuff S.U.C.K.L.E. figure
$30
Edition of 100
One of the Sucklord’s early figures is what we commonly refer to as the Pink Toht figure from Raiders. It was inspired by a Marvel Raiders comic where Toht was colored Pink. The purpose of the S.U.C.K.L.E. line is to recreate all of the Sucklord’s work in the M.U.S.C.L.E. format. The problem is that if we made this figure in China in the regular colors and all the exclusives then it’s just a colored Toht figure. It really only works if it’s pink. So this release had to be in resin only. Limited to 100 and $30 but you also get a “flesh” version with it. Bagged with header card. Sculpted by George Gaspar.
This is a follow up to last year’s series of Bones resin figures on hand painted backer cards. Last year DKE had a vintage Star Wars style card for the Bones figure so this year we have Lucky on a Power of the Force inspired card. Hand cast resin figure by Garret Ziegler from BlockHeads toys. Card back hand painted by Mike Egan. With specially sculpted wings by George Gaspar.
Yes! This is a hand cast figure. A collab with Broke1 aka Broken Pidgeon and AWOL One who also did the card back illustration. MOOD is DOOM backwards GET IT? 3.75 inches tall. Hand made resin in custom packaging.
Hand cast and hand painted by MannyX and his new brand Iconoclast Toys. There are lots of variations in the color so we are pretty sure this is a multiple color resin pour. This is a follow up to his Black Bart figure. Bootleg Bart has hundreds and hundreds of posts on IG each with a unique bootleg Bart Simpsons shirt. The card back is based on the original 80s Mattel Simpsons line. Figure is to scale as well at about 3.5 inches.
Hand cast and painted 3 ¾” carded figure. Based loosely on the Mars Attack Alien, Falcon Toys has mashed this one up with expert detail. Only 15 made $85 each
