Now he's something fun. How about you download and print your own toys? Download any one (or all) of the many PDFs, print 'em out in glorious full-color, cut around the edges, fold on the dotted line, a bit of double-sided tape and walla! A creative and fun project for the whole family.
Readymech is brought to you by FWIS - a graphic design group based in Portland, Denver and Brooklyn. Other fun projects include a small online t-shirt shop and a very original Book Cover Review site. The FWIS site itself makes for a very interesting and entertaining portfolio. Definitely worth a few minutes perusing...
Kid Robot Mad Villain

Kid Robot have teamed up with Stones Throw Records to release this limited edition vinyl figure of MF Doom's alter ego - Mad Villain. Created by James Reitano, the character is taken straight from the MF Doom/Madlib 'All Caps' video.
Being a huge MF Doom fan I came pretty close to buying one of these then couldn't decide if I should buy both, then read that green is the original colorway then looked at my existing collection and realized it's out of place then realised I couldn't afford it either way so I passed.
The Kid Robot Mad Villain character comes in both green and grey colorways, stands 10" tall with movable arms and wrists and has the signature (assumedly non-removable) MF Doom mask.
Price: $34.95
