Buff Monster revealed today that for an upcoming pop up shop, he will have a classic gashapon 'Melty Misfits' toy machine! The machine is actually a double machine featuring two sides filled with two different series.
The first series is "Ice Cream Resin Heads" which feature 4 different designs (Original, Zombie, Devil, Skull) as well as some rare and newly constructed Double Zombies and a half Devil/half Zombie.
The second machine features Melty Misfits Cheap Toys. These are newly envisioned versions of the Garbage Pail Kids Cheap Toys from 1985. There are three designs (two of which have never been released before) which have been newly sculpted and feature an ice cream style head instead of a Cabbage Patch Kids style head. Buff had a foundry here in NYC cast a few pieces from each series in Bronze.... So even though you might get a simple unpainted figure (in a range of colors), you could get a unique hand-painted piece or even a rare bronze piece. With so many variations in so many colors, it’s unlikely that anyone would receive two of the same pieces. Additionally, each figure comes with a miniature Certificate of Authenticity. From the beginning, the biggest part of the machine was that it would only accept a custom token. Most gumball machine tokens are made of brass, but Buff sourced a nicer nickel token. A collectible in itself, collectors are presented with a dilemma of keeping the token, or using it in the machine. This will be at the
PK Shop unveiled on Thursday, November 14th from 6-8pm and is located at 511 W. 27th St. in NYC. - will you keep the token?
