Kidrobot NYC will be opening their new doors tomorrow. I can’t imagine what they have planned for the event but I’m sure it won’t disappoint!

Buff Monster will be in NYC this weekend for the opening of his show at Giant Robot New York on Saturday night from 6:30pm to 10 pm. The show will feature all new works by Buff Monster - this is definitely a must see as Buff Monster never disappoints. Whenever I see his work I’m transported to a world full of whimsy and pink cottoncandy and of course, filled with little Buff Monsters!

Also this weekend in New York, you can meet the Buff Monster himself at Comic Con where he will be signing the new 3″ Metallic Pink Squirt Figure on Friday at 6:30pm at the Toy Tokyo booth and on Saturday at 11am at the MINDstyle booth (#1313). The figure is limited to 200 pieces and sells for $30. This is a great opportunity to get toys with limited distribution and have them signed!
