Check out this new video series from our good buddy/NY toy luminary Suckadelic:  “Chinatown Wars”.  Just like the Sucklord himself, the series is off beat, and cool, and masked.

Check out this amazing new release from Thinkitem, the limited edition orange resin aK-aT Driver figure! Props to our friend ITEM for releasing this, his first official figure.  This piece is a natural extension from ITEM’s other 2-D work that featured fashion photography mashed up with icons from the Star Wars universe.  You should really try to get your hands on one of these, because they’re one of the coolest resin figures that I’ve seen in quite some time.  Besides, who doesn’t love a toy that comes with an overcoat/ape accessory?

From ITEM:

My first official figure!

These resin figures which were based on my aK-aT Driver mashup character was manufactured by The Sucklord.

I had an earlier run of 12 black versions produced for my HERD exhibit. These orange follow-ups were made for distribution.

Only 10 were produced for sale.

Check it! Very good friend of Nerd City and insanely talented guy, Adriean Koleric, aka Item, has contributed some amazing designs to the upcoming Star Wars Galaxy 5 Trading Cards from Topps.  You’ve got to love Item’s approach to these designs, which incorporate his now iconic blend of Star Wars characters with super sharp design and fashion imagery. What is really additionally impressive, though, is the decision that he made to give each piece the look of slightly weathered street art, which adds an interesting organic element to the overall feel.  Well played, sir.

From Item:

I was lucky enough to be invited through the almighty Sucklord to contribute to the upcoming Starwars Galaxy 5 line of cards via TOPPS. The task was to customize 56 blank cards to how I see fit.

I opted to go with a gel transfer approach to try and mimic the feel of a sticker or gig poser you’d see on any street corner. Weathered…..peeled…..etc. More images can be checked out over here.

Release date is February 2010.

So i just recently got a few packs of Suckadelic’s new line of art trading cards, from the man himself, and I gotta tell you, they totally rule. Super cool, with an actual wax wrapping, the style and feel of the line is an homage to everything that’s great about trading cards. Seriously…these are the shit.

An innovative idea from the master of this kind of thing, Suckadelic’s cards need to be checked out. In fact, the Sucklord and Nerd City will send the first person to email max@nerdcityonline.com with the subject heading “Suckadelic” a free pack.

Everyone else, get yours here.

The time has come for the 2nd Suckadelic Super Group Suck-Off.  Last year’s show ended up being amazing, so this one should not be missed.

From The Super Sucklord:

WE ARE AT IT AGAIN!

Do you remember the SUPER SUCKOFF custom show we did at Munky King Last
year? That one cool show where the Sucklord got all these amazing artists
to do something “creative” with his Sucklord 600 vinyl toy? That show that
was universally  praised as the “Greatest Custom Toy show Ever?” Yeah that
one. Well, once wasn’t enough, so now the ever-vigilant Sucklord has
gotten over 40 new artists to do the same thing again, this time showing
in NEW YORK CITY.

On Friday, September 4, 2009 Suckadelic will open up the Super Suckoff
round 2 at APW gallery in Long Island City in Queens NYC.

Come check the new work, buy some stuff, socialize, and drink some Free
Beer supplied by out good buddies at BEER LAO. It shall be quite the fly
time.

Please visit the dedicated SUCK-SHOW page for the Gallery Address, show
times, and fantastic artist List. There are a few sneak peeks up there
already. Check back to peep out more flix as they arrive. Don’t sleep on

The latest and greatest offering from Suckadelic is this awesome 3-pack  of figures from The Band of the Lost.

From Suckadelic:

The most extravagant SUCKADELIC set to date. Contains 3 exclusive figures in
a high-quality, full color, 10″ x 12″ blister pack. By far the dopest thing SUCKADELIC has done to date.

40 piece edition.

The Sucklord also briefly discussed his motivation to put out these pieces at this time on his Flickr:

The LAND of the LOST movie is gonna suck, and Will Ferrell is a total douche for making it into some stupid asshole comedy. For real. The show, as cheezy and flawed as it was, had some pretty serious Sci-fi themes going on. There was a real charm to the low budget effects and the hoakey over acting. There is for sure a lot of opportunity for comedy there. I’m not mad that it’s a comedy. It just looks like a very lowbrow, typical Will Ferrell vehicle that shows no respect for the integrity of the source material or it’s fans. I hope I’m wrong, but that awful clip they showed on Conan the other night was not encouraging at all. Stupid potty humor. That’s why these figures are coming out now. To act as a salve to the heartbroken fans that are being screwed by Mr. Ferrell and his bullshit, self-serving stinkeroo. Enjoy!

It’s cool to know that in a world full of blockbuster summer movie remakes that have little to do with their original source material other than a few names, someone is making art that celebrates the original aesthetic of properties like Land of the Lost.

Now, who’s going to step up and do something like this for G.I. Joe and Transformers?
