A little while back, Nooka and illustrator/designer MAD linked for a custom NookaNooka vinyl toy designed by the Kansas City homie! Should’ve known the collaboration wasn’t going to stop there. Dropping next month, and available for pre-order now, is a limited edition ZUB ZOT 38 timpiece based on MAD Toy Design’s popular SLIMEBALL Sqwert character. The watch comes in a slime green (think Nickelodeon) hue, with Sqwert appearing on the band. MAD’s graffiti tag also gets slapped on the face of the ZUB ZOT 38. Best believe this will be added to my watch collection. You should add it to yours too!

Drop the trousers on this post for another view of the collab!

Almost a year ago, RBST hit us off with a dope reincarnation of MF Doom as a paper toy! This time around, in honor of the late great J. Dilla’s passing, RBST collabs with SOMR on this dope Cubeecraft papertoy likeness of the producer extraordinaire. He captures Dilla nicely rocking his Detroit Tigers New Era fitted, Stussy tee and Nike AF1. Even iller is the MPC sitting in front of him. Dope! Download and make your own now.

*Late Pass* One of last year’s biggest and most popular vinyls, hands down, had to be those from MINDstyle and Michael Lau’s The Godfather Art Toy Collectible – with the blessings of Paramount Pictures. For 2010, the much talked about 2.0, all-white vinyl of Vito Corleone will be available in February. This fine art piece is limited to 300 pieces worldwide. But, you can pre-order now from Sideshow Collectibles.

Hit the cut for another look. BOOM BAP!

“Artoyz debuts images and info of their first crossover project on the Artyoyz Originals-produced AUTO, with Japanese electro-pop artist KumiSolo (for her new LP; “My Love For You Is a Cheap Pop Song”). For this package, French artist ShoboShobo redesigned the figures + box, while the USB-key contains the full album (tracks listenable online here), “as well as the new video (by Shoboshobo), an exclusive remix by Yacht and other goodies.”

“Gimmie the loot, gimmie the loot!” “ANTE UP!” Yeaaa…taking a glance at this DIY resin art toy designed by Ray “Three” Robinson 3 conjures up lyrics from some classic hip-hop stick up anthems.

“So after a very long wait it’s finally here. STICK UP!!!!! 8″ tall, solid resin, with bendable limbs. This means it’s FULLY MOVABLE!!! On top of that it comes with a money bag accessory. I don’t think anyone has seen a low run, custom, handmade, resin art toy like this to date. We are very excited to see this guy come together. Stay tuned for painted shot very soon.”

Word on the skreet is only 30 pieces will be made available for purchase. Stay tuned!

“Nakanari’s Spiki makes his way across the seas, all the way to The Netherlands as a Space & Cartoon Safari exclusive. This time in a Frosted Purple colorway that would make Barney jealous, this figure is available now for Pre-Order here.

Dawning the Space & Cartoon Safari logo on the back of the head, Spiki is available now for €65.00 when you Pre-Order or €75.00 as the suggested retail price.”
