Oregon based designer toy company
UNKL, recently made an appearance in an episode of Fred Armisen and Carrie Browstein's show '
Portlandia' that's on IFC!!! The premise of this sketch is that a man hires workspace consultants to help provide a curated Japanese toy experience to make a social statement... and it works! In the episode, there are tons of other figures as well, but UNKL is very pronounced with their
SUG's, Hazmapo's, Tinpo's, Unipo's, and many more of their cool figures! Haha, this episode is so true... and if you have figures at your desk at work, you know this happens! Oh, and according to Josh "f+" Pearce, the gentleman at the end is the owner of
Compound Gallery... and his guess is that's probably where the toys came from!!! Enjoy, and thanks to Huck for bringing this to my attention.
