A Large Evil Corporation : Evil Vinyl Iconic Characters

Shaun_Ed2-1024x576

After A Large Evil Corporation had amazing feedback from their Vinyl make-ups of Cornetto Trilogy (one of which is above) they have out done themselves with more iconic characters from popular culture. Everyone is bang on the money. Donald & Davey Stott I WANT asap!!! They are currently figuring out some logistics on potentially having them made on a, hopefully, much larger scale – the more you ask for them, the more likely this will happen – so if you haven’t already, go follow them on Twitter, or give them a like on Facebook.

2013 will go down as the year of Daft Punk. Despite the fact that the French duo had great albums before, nothing will top the hype and publicity that came along with Random Access Memories. Any how they had had figures made of them for years that command a small fortune on eBay…so a pre order for December is a good way of sorting the leather & helmut clad Frenchmen.The details are solid, the helmets even have a shiny finish and they come with interchangeable hand parts so you can change up how they look. Now they can put on a show with some Transformers or any of your old Star Wars figurines on that shelf of yours. $45 each here
