Things are looking ugly at Double Punch

Quirky Kaiju, bossy bears, cake eating spiders, and dolls so ugly they're charming have taken over Double Punch's gallery space in "Things." The show is a collection of, er, things that Uglydoll creators Sun Min Kim and David Horvath have created over the past 7 years since launching Uglydolls. Other works in "Things" include Bossy Bear, LittleBony, Choco & Minty, etc. 

Many of the items on display are extremely rare and long sold out. Have you seen the LittleBony DVD or CD at your local Best Buy? Nope? Uh-huh. I thought not.

The show ends Nov. 2. Admission is $2 for adults and $1 for kids (under 14), plus you get a little gift too (refund if you purchase something). 

And sold exclusively at DP (and their webstore) for "Things" is the Lonely Otaku print for $50. This print is a limited run of 50.

Uglydoll's actually got a really sweet love story. Read about it here.

David and Sun Min Qee figures.

Coca Cola bottle caps sold in Japan, circa 2005.

Uglydoll vinyl toys, circa 2004. These were manufactured by the now defunct toy company Critterbox.

The aforementioned LittleBony DVD and CD. Little Bony is actually a kids show that aired in Japan.

Sun Min's Spider-Boom pink Qee, Circus Punk, and Baby-Boom prototypes.

Various Choco vinyl figures.

The merchandise table included a ton of Uglydoll plushes in mini and big forms, keychains, blind-boxed LittleBonys, Ugly Guide series, and Uglydoll notebooks.

I picked up a mini Moxy. She's magenta. I had to. And she matched my outfit that day too. 

Anywho, to see more things be sure to go --> here. 

Till next time, keep it dorky, folks.

Say Hello to Piximix

Today at 7 p.m. is the opening of Double Punch's new gallery show "Say Hello to Piximix." Join the festivities early to grab some food, drinks and a limited edition poster.

"Say Hello to Piximix" will include fine art prints, t-shirts, handmade plushies, and books. There'll also be a signing with the whole Piximix gang: Kyle Hoyt, Catherine Maske, Garth Webb, and Rhandee Leano.

If you can't make it to tonight's gallery opening, the show will be running throughout the whole month of June. 

For more info, check out the Piximix and Double Punch sites.

Sunny Sweet Temper

After going to my first official Blythe Meet (stay tuned for that!) in San Francisco, I was able to head back to Double Punch (remember I wrote a blog about it in July?) and not only pick up some sweet swag (mostly Disney stuff), but I got to check out "Sunny Sweet Temper" in the art gallery portion of the store. "Sunny Sweet Temper" is fully charged by estrogen as it displays the art of Tink, Kelly Tunstall, Leah Brawley, Nathalie Roland, and one of my personal faves Fawn Gehweiler. It runs until Nov. 16, so if you ever find yourself in the area go check it out!

Here's a glimpse at what I saw . . .
