San Diego-based Colus brings back on of his classic pieces with the new XL Jumper Black resin art toy. The new figure is a larger 15″ version of the striking 10″ piece released by Kidrobot (2018). The larger scale increases the presence of the piece which features a rabbit impaled by a large pole mid-jump. Jumper is at once simple, profound and unsettling.

What’s a poor rabbit to do? Sometimes even the simplest things become insanely difficult. The Chung’s ode to that frustration returns with the new What the Effing Eff – CottonTail edition vinyl art toy from Martian Toys. The new edition features a white rabbit as he tries (not so patiently) to put a square block into a star-shaped hole. The set includes five vinyl boxes and a swanky storage page. CottonTail follows the OG edition which features a pink rabbit.

Fools Paradise expands the reach of its futuristic gridiron competition with the incoming Lowfool // League of Steel (EVO3) vinyl art toy. The third combative team brings Neon Genesis Evangelion into the fray after two initial Gundam-inspired designs. Inspired by the EVA-01 mech, Lowfool’s playing gear sports the iconic purple + green colors along with the war machine’s instantly recognizable angular details. At 18.9″ tall, EVO3 should have quite the imposing presence. As with all of the League of Steel figures, EV03 includes a high-tech football.

kaNO taps into Bumblebee’s love of loud music for his new vinyl art toy of the popular Transformer from Unruly Industries. Stepping away from the fight and onto the stage, Optimus Prime’s trusted lieutenant goes into MC mode, with kangol-style hat, gold chain and of course, a mic to drop rhymes. While we haven’t seen his dance moves, the gold ‘BB’ on the front of the VW just might be doing double duty, for Bumblebee and BBoy.
kaNO’s design adds an old-school black + white vibe with Bumblebee’s classic black and yellow style. Cleverly playing off the Transformers concept, the interior portion of the Autobot’s feet reveal a classic black + white sneaker design. The old-school vibe continues with ‘kaNO’ in stylized lettering on the license plant in front and on the hood in the rear. kaNO finishes the design with his signature, stylized ‘K’ on the hat.

Japanese artist Yusuke Hanai continues his collaboration with AllRightsReserved on the new Rain sculpture. Simply titled, the piece features one of Hanai’s familiar male characters in the middle of a downpour, hands clutching the collar of his green parka. While the piece seems to have a slightly weary vibe to it, the artist has expressed his hope that each viewer enjoys the work from their own perspective. Hanai adds that “Rainy days never stay.”

French artist Mcbess returns his first new original art toy in a while (and we almost missed it). Maybe it was the egg nog or sleeping in on cold Winter days, but somehow we overlooked the pre-order for the brand-new Tubular Babe art toy from McBess and The Dudes of which he is part. Thankfully, the pre-order is still open.
The sunny, leisurely Tubular Babe features Mcbess’s female character enjoying a casual day on the inner tube. A follow-up to his (Half) Mermaid (2013) and Les Viandardes (2013) releases, the lovely figure features tattoos throughout much as the previous toys. Named after Mcbaise’s new album, Tubes, the figure also features a Mcbaise stamp on her lower back. Unlike previous drops, the Tubular Babe comes through in living color in contrast to McBess’s usual mono gray treatment.
