Uglydolls designer, David Horvath finally delivers his take on collectible blind-box toys with Uglydoll Action Figures Series 1. If you’re wondering what kind of action a 3-inch cute and blobby monster can deliver — duh, it’s waist-twist action. There are 12 characters in the series, packaged by the case. Horvath is giving back to collectors by packing one of each character in a case, so that if you buy a whole case you get the entire series. This is a novel approach to blind-packaging which often results in duplicates, trades and eBay sales. The only rare “chase” figure in the series is a red tooth version of the character — Wedgehead — which comes in a 1:4 ratio. Following their recent debut at the New York Comic Con and Toy Fair conventions, the Uglydoll Action Figures are currently making their way to toy shops around the world. As of right now, you can buy them at the official Uglydoll Shop for $8 (single figure) and $96 (case). Free shipping in the USA too!

When you’re watching over a city, it’s imperative that you’ve got enough caffeine to get you through the night. So, put down the decaf and pick up a 10 oz. can of “Veidt Enterprise’s Nite Owl Dark Roast” created by celebrity photographer Clay Enos’s charitable coffee company, The Organic Coffee Cartel. Inspired by the coffee Dan and Laurie drink aboard the Night Owl, this limited-edition java blend is guaranteed to have you staring at the ceiling at 3 a.m — which, would be an ideal time for you to thumb through Watchmen Portraits, a book of photographs from Enos, the official photographer on the Watchmen set.

In addition, any customer who purchases a collectible blend before February 26 will have a chance win two tickets to the Los Angeles premiere and after-party for Watchmen from the OCC.

Have you even wanted your art displayed in an art show? Spraygraphic.com is calling on artists all over the world to submit their work, free of charge, to their first Mini Mini Art Show. There only catch is that all art must be 4 in. x 4 in. You can use any medium, from drawings to photography to sculpture (as long as it can be mounted to a wall). They are expecting gallery full of diverse, compelling, and exquisite little pieces from an international crowd (England, Croatia, Ireland, Korea, Australia, and France represent). The show’s opening will be at Arizona State’s “Exposed” graphic design conference’s (March 5-8) featured Saturday Night Event, with the exhibit displayed at local Arizona art galleries afterward. Deadline for submission is March 5.

Perhaps you have a penchant for geek chic but you don’t want to look like you just walked out of a comic convention. Adam Szary, illustrator and comic artist for the Z Crisis and December 2105 series, has a line of tees and tanks showcasing his works that will let you flaunt your love of zombies, well-endowed women, or aliens without the shame of admitting you know who Jim Lee is and can name all of the comics he’s worked on. The images printed on his apparel line feature characters from his books and while these simple pen and ink drawings are usually somewhat grotesque in nature, others like the “Hell Kitty” are just amusing.

Headgear can be a statement without adorning the signifying letter of your local sports team. Steel Darts, a hat maker with showrooms in Irving, TX and NYC, stick to their idea of future-retroism, yielding patterned ball caps and patchwork fedoras. Somehow, the muted colors chosen by their designers manage to make a loud noise without being garrish. Also, the crossed darts logo on each hat is a nice change from your common New Era affair. We’ve got out eye on the IWONDER ball cap.

Porcelain tableware may not top many young urban dwellers wish lists, but that may change if Ink Dish has their way. It comes as no surprise that the company’s target audience said they “don’t want stuffy and formal china, and they don’t want mass-produced mainstream dinnerware.” The Le Mesa, California, company’s current line features blue and white mugs, bowls, and plates with Japanese-style fish designed by tattoo artist Paul Timman. Available through Propeller in San Francisco, a little place called Fred Segal in the L.A. area, and Gore Dean on the East Coast. Its a registry option that won’t make you balk.
