REVIEW: Milk and Cheese

Background

FreeBento.com sent us two of the baddest dairy products around. The Milk and Cheese rotocast vinyl figures are based on the comic book series of the same name. Artist Evan Dorkin teamed up with Monkey Fun Toys to bring the carton of milk and wedge of cheese to fans and collectors of all ages.

Designed by Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer, and sculpted by Mitch Martinez, Milk and Cheese are ready, willing and more than able to kick the living crap out of your pathetic junky little action figures and highfalutin' designer "urban vinyls".

Packaging

The Milk and Cheese figures are packaged in an oversized cardboard box. The box is full of drawings of the enclosed characters. But the best aspect of the packaging is the full-length comic strip that is printed on the rear of the box.

2006 Toy Fair: Monkey Fun Toys

Monkey Fun Toys is a division of Slave Labor Graphics. Filler Bunny, Spooky and the new Z? Mug have all been created by Jhonen Vasquez. The new, guitar-rocking Mummy figure was designed by Eric Jones. Our 2006 Toy Fair sponsor, FreeBento.com, will be carrying this figure once it is released in March 2006. Unfortunately, they didn’t have the Milk and Cheese vinyl figures on display. These 7-inch tall vinyl figures should be released in July.
