Superplastic launched its new web store yesterday. The shop features limited edition toys and apparel designed by world famous artists. Janky, launched via Kickstarter, is slated to begin shipping in December 2018. But, they have some new items available at launch.

The special Oh-No “Blackout Edition” SuperJanky by cult UK/French artist McBess is limited to a run of 333 pieces. The 8-inch tall piece is available to pre-order for $80.00 and will ship "before Xmas 2018".
Also, the site debuted the first Superplastic apparel capsule, featuring oversized graphic t-shirts, sweatshirts, and other items. Currently there are four tees available, ranging in price from $40.00 for short-sleeve to $55.00 for long-sleeve.
Hey...Plastic and Plush needs to generate some sort of cash to survive, right? So that's why I have started a Tee Public Shop to sell some of my wacky designs on various products. It's mostly weird mashups of 1970's, 80's, and 90's pop culture (as you can see from When Sally Met Harry... pictured above). You'll be helping keep the site going with every purchase. Thanks!
PIQtoo is celebrating its grand opening with a limited-edition button release every day from September 7th to the 15th (although the above image begs to differ). These exclusive 1-inch buttons will be given away in-store, each day featuring a design by one of PIQtoo’s favorite toy designers and brands. Horrible Adorables, Peter Kato, Sad Salesman, Andrea Kang, Droolwool, and Flat Bonnie all made custom button designs to help launch the store and give NYC a reason to smile. Rilakumma from San-x and Sonny Angel contributed designs for their own limited edition PIQtoo pin backs.
Come by PIQtoo in the Concourse Level of Rockefeller Center each day - starting with a Peter Kato special appearance Thursday September 7th from 6:30PM to 8:00PM. Eric Althin will be in-store for his release Sunday September 10th. The Horrible Adorable button release will be Tuesday September 12th, and there will be a drawing for a one-of-a-kind sketch by Jordan Elise.
Each PIQtoo artist buttons will be given away in-store as supplies last. Three full sets of pins will be given away in an Instagram contest. The winners will be randomly selected from every Instagram post tagged #PIQtoo from September 5th through 15th.

J!NX will be taking pre-orders for the first seven characters in the Overwatch Ultimate Hoodie line beginning today (June 27th 2017) at 10AM PT (1PM ET).

(My favorite? Maybe Roadhog) Each Ultimate Hoodie will run $59.99 and begin shipping between August 7th and October 8th, depending on the chosen hoodie.
Mainframe and 'Umi Toys Hawai'i have teamed up to release a Mainframe Pin Set in honor of Go Skateboarding Day. Designed by Dean Bradley, the Mainframe pin set features the Mainframe character performing a wall ride and a coffin.

Two new limited edition pin designs from The Artpin Collection are now available from Rotofugi. Both pins measure 1.25' inches in size and come with a backing card.
Junction by Nathan Jurevicius is representative of the artist's distinct style. It's based on his 2015 graphic novel of the same title, which was also adapted into a short animated film. Two colorways are available in editions of 105 pieces each.
Bunnyfish by Kozyndan is a new rendition of the beloved character portrayed in numerous of the artist duo's works since the mid 2000's. Long awaited by many Kozyndan fans, the bunnyfish is finally available in two colorways - blue and teal. The pins are limited to 80 pieces of each colorway.
Susannah Kirtland and Yaniv Brick have taken to Kickstarter to launch their first independent enamel pin production. They chose to produce the cutest ever rendition of their favorite Sci-Fi captain from his days as a cyborg. Called Le Cutest, the hard enamel pin features 1.5-inch tall hard enamel black nickel plating, a deluxe metal clutch, and 7 colors.
The pin is available beginning at the $9.00 funding level. This project will only be funded if it reaches its goal by Sunday, April 16th 2017 at 1:02AM ET. There are also stretch goals that unlock other color variants of the pin.
Remember...this is not a pre-order. There are many instances of crowd funded projects that have been funded never making good on their promised goods. So back with caution.
