adFunture is just about to drop two new 2.5” Yokas. Unless you’re in China, the only place to get these is Rotofugi. First up in a continuing collaboration with Puma is the Racing Series Yoka. This one is a nice mix of clean graphic design (racing suit) with a pared down design showing off the yoka’s form with a blank white head and hands. Rounding out this drop is a Halloween GID Yoka. Both are blister-packed and available for Pre-order now (est. shipping on 10/29) from Rotofugi for $15.00 each.

Ludwig Van is the latest in a long line of busts from Frank Kozik. This 14″ vinyl bust celebrates the connection between Stanley Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange and the legendary composer. As a nod to Alex’s, the primary character, love of listening to Beethoven the sculpture features his immediately recognizable stylized reverse eyelash.
Ultraviolence produced thirteen Ludwig Van editions — each limited to 50 pieces. Eleven are exclusives while the remaining two neon editions — blue and green, will be available at your favorite designer toy shop shortly. Since that’s a lot to keep track of we thought we’d help with pics of all thirteen including the six neon editions (above) as well as the remaining seven (after the jump). The suggested retail for each is $200. Finally here’s the definitive list of editions and info on where you can get each.
White (Newbury Comics), Red (Wacko/Soap Plant), Black (Lulubell Toy Bodega), GID (signedbykozik.com), Bronze (Frank Kozik Subscription edition), Silver (3Dretro), Gold (Juxtapoz), Neon Pink (Kidrobot), Neon Yellow (Rotofugi), Neon orange (SDCC exclusive - sold out), Neon Purple (Chindogu Gallery / Postersandtoys.com) Neon Green and Neon Blue (your favorite designer toy shop).
Mark Landwehr of Coarsetoys will open his Noop show on Friday, September 12th, 2008 [6-9 PM] @ Rotofugi. The art show will be accompanied by the official release of Mark’s newest 12” figure – Noop. This figure marks both the familiar and the new for Mark. While you can clearly still make out the influences of his chiseled 1:6 extreme sports figures, the outrageous shark head is definitely a fun departure. Exciting stuff.
