I appreciate pop art just as much as the next guy, but any artistic material that relies too much on gimmicks and pop references just come across as lazy. Except when it comes to Star Wars (and action figures). I admit that I'll lay down my appreciation defenses when it comes to the Star Wars galaxy. I sat through numerous mind-numbing children's cartoon shows and purchased cheap greasy combo meals just because of their Lucas approved attachments, none of which I'm proud of. But hey, it's Star Wars. I'm a sucker for nerdy obsessions.
And the folks over at Suckadelic have taken this obsession to new heights (or is it lows?) with their new line of hand made action figures. Some of these figures I would have to admit are a bit too tongue-in-cheek for me, but I still appreciate their creativeness, even if it sullies my childhood memories. Sucklord, the mastermind behind this home-made toy extravaganza, will be showcasing these and many others at the Boo-Hooray gallery in New York. I can only imagine how much one such figure would cost, and if I could request two (so I can leave one in it's original package and play with the other...duh).
