Todd McFarlane probably has nothing to worry about, but Mike Patton's is expected to issue the first of 12 Ipecac Records artist figurines this month.
The dolls were created by boutique toy company UNKL for acts as wide ranging as Isis, Melvins, Peeping Tom, Unsane, Tomahawk and Qui. The toys will come out once a month in limited editions of 500, and can be purchased at the following stores:
* Synthetic Compound in Phoenix, Arizona: www.myspace.com/syntheticcompound
* Monkey See, Monkey Do! in Austin, Texas: www.monkeyseeonline.com
* LUNA Music in Indianapolis, Indiana: www.lunamusic.com
* My Plastic Heart in New York City: www.myplasticheart.com
For those who want to guarantee they get all 12, the dollies can be purchased directly from UNKL via subscription at http://www.unklbrand.com/blog/news/ipecac-subscriptions-yo/. In addition to receiving one figurine a month, subscribers will be mailed a limited-edition “show poster” with each doll.
Surely the Earache grindcore line of dolls is just around the corner.
