Woohoo! They’re coming! This past weekend FX International celebrated 20 years in existence, and I’ll admit I don’t know too much about it but I do know that it plays hosts to many geeky goodness that I’m into. The reason I heard about this event was due to their “Project Vinyl” event which brings some of the big names in the designer toy world to one location. Due to this event; which was put together by MINDstyle and VinylPulse; Disney’s Experiment 626 Project Custom Art Tour made it’s very first appearance. The show features a multitude of 10″ DIY Stitchs by some of the most talented artists and skilled customizers in the designer toy world and now that it’s began it’s tour, I’m counting down it’s arrival to New York City.

Along with the 626 Project, the first Stitch Artist Series produced by MINDstyle was also introduced, which are the pieces pictured above. The first series includes; kaNO, Ron English, Buff Monster*, Angry Woebots, and Peekaboo Monster. I’ve officially decided that Kano’s and Angry Woebot’s are the two I really want– they’re 5″ of awesomeness!

Closer look at KaNo's Stitch. Love the name on the feet. ^_^

Lilo & Stitch is one of my favorite Disney movies, then again, I’m a total Disney whore so I like most of their movies. Although I found it strange in the beginning that MINDstyle would be producing these figures, seeing the customs that these artists have created, along with this upcoming series has convinced me to the contrary. These guys are going to retail for $25 a pop which isn’t a bad price at all to be honest. I do however want to know if they’re going to be window-boxed or blind-boxed. Twenty-five bucks is pretty steep for a blind-box so I don’t think they’d be going down that route, but you just never know. Either way, I say: Gimme NOW!!
