As many of you may recall– two weeks ago, Tara McPherson invaded New York City’s KidRobot to celebrate the release of both her latest blindboxed vinyl toy collection; the Gamma Mutant Space Friends, and the release of her 2nd book of collections; Lost Constellations released by DarkHorse. Wow! I think that may have been the longest sentence I’ve written on this blog. =) April 23rd also marked the beginning of Tara’s both national and international tour, and what better place to start than her home turf?

I’ve made it explicitly clear on many occassions that I am in lust with Tara and in passionate love with her works no matter what medium. So, when the Gamma Mutants finally landed, it wasn’t a question of would I be picking some up? The real question was, how many would I be picking up? To my own surprise I purchased a whole case– a first since I’ve been in the designer toy scene. Watch the video above to learn my thoughts on the figure and hit the jump to see many more photos!!

If you watched the video, you’ve already learned that I’m only missing two figures. The black colorway of Mr. Wiggles and the seahorse girl. I love this series so much that  I am truly considering another case– but that’s just silly right? I don’t know– I hate when I cross unsafe territories.

It’s probably a good thing I don’t have money though, since I really want to buy the sculptures KidRobot has added to their site. I’ll be posting about those soon since I have photos from her signing– again, it’s all thanks to the Mr. for being such a superstar!

I’ve had trouble locating shops that still have the Gamma Mutants in stock– please, if you know of a shop that has them in stock leave a comment with a link and I’ll update the post. So far, Rotofugi is the only place that seems to have them in stock. Each individual piece costs $7.99, I’m not sure if they have cases for sale.

P.S. Although I’m having loads of fun vlogging (sounds a little silly), what do people think of the unboxing? Are people enjoying it? Please leave me some feedback– but, if you are enjoying it– GIMME SUGGESTIONS. >___<
