Combex Bear & Art Whore Patch

I always intend to acquire vintage toys & I never seem to actually follow-through on that intention! Thankfully I have friends who rectify my self-deprivation! Josh Griffith from Art Whore recently bought himself an armful of toys. A few comments later & he offered to send me one! I always appreciate a gift!

Thanks for the use of your photo Josh!

This adorable squeaky toy is from a company called Combex & was made in England. I'm unsure exactly what decade it's from(or it's exact name), I'd guess during the 50s-70s somewhere. It's about 10 inches tall & by far one of my more domineering toys!
One of the reasons I think I found this toy so appealing, is it's bib. One of the first toys I ever owned(& still own) wore a bib. Nostalgic appeal is behind many of the things I own.


Due to it's age I decided to put it on, what I call, my 'Knick Knack' shelf. Where I put all my vintage/antique items, or anything that simply has no other home. Now I need more vintage toys for it to loom over!


In addition to the lovely chunk of vintage vinyl, there was a patch swimming around in my package too! This patch is just ridiculously retro! I had actually intended to buy one the next time I was shopping in Art Whores shop. My crappy photo really doesn't emphasise the colours on this patch. I'm eager to get it stitched to my bag(if i can find the space)!


It's nice to have something a bit different, a bit random & a bit cute! I truly appreciate the gesture & I'm always happy to add something new to my collection! Hopefully, I'll have more vintage toys to share in the future & to accompany this bear on my shelves!

Bukkake - Electric Monarchy

It's probably quite obvious that I enjoy the occasional dirty/inappropriate toy. Recently Art Whore listed a toy in their store that fit that description. Honestly the toy name 'Bukkake' was enough to get my attention! I just had to have one!


A lot of people were involved in the creation of this little cum-pile. The original design is by Fintism(Electric Monarchy) & this is their very first toy! It was sculpted by Macsorro & casted by TRU:TEK. It's cast in 'rubber resin'(don't ask me what that is, but it's what the packaging says!) & seriously just an amazing design concept & beautifully rendered!


Luckily I learn of the existence of this toy before it was sold out(which it now is). Exclusive to Art Whore, this GID version was limited to only 25.


Every purchase of Bukkake came with a bonus toy(from random series). I must be lucky as I was sent a bunch of extra goodies! The black coated rubber head is particularly awesome(though i'm also rather fond of the red bear-head M.U.S.C.L.E. man)!


I tried to get a photo of Bukkake glowing, but my lack of photography skills killed that idea. You can find some great glow pics on the Electric Monarchy Instagram page however!


I couldn't be happier with this chubby little keshi! The attention to detail in the sculpt is stunning! It's also nice to add something disgusting & glowy to my collection.
