Kuso Vinyl Toys

Started in 2008 in Bay Area, California, KusoVinyl began as a humble toy retailer. As their store gained popularity, so did their Rolodex, soon including Rotobox, Maihiro and Itokin Park among their collaborators. From there, the toy store evolved into the toy production company, working with increasingly streetwise brands to translate their design philosophies into high-end toys. In 2009, they collaborated with Kidrobot to produce the Ninja Spiki, an instant bestseller that sold out in less than 24 hours.

Their toys are, to put it simply, the coolest shit since tetra-packed red wine. Dramatic personages and attitudes give these toys a presence that is perhaps lacking in other toys that fail to move beyond “cute”. Their store, which continues to carry Eastern and Western brands alike, displays a variety of aesthetics that I have never seen before. Besides, Munny never had badassery encoded in his DNA like this badass Fahrenheit OG model above.

We’re working with Kuso right now to bring something very special to our readers, so stay tuned (add us to your RSS readers, set alarms on your iPhone 4′s, share on Facebook, etc.) for more info on that.

Pick up toys, prints and so much more on the Kuso website here. You can also check out their appearances on Flickr and become a fan on Facebook.

    I honestly never really found the appeal for these kinds of figurines…until I saw these. Dude. I’m literally speechless right now so I’m just writing a rambly-ass comment trying in vain to convey how much I like this.

    @jacob, off the top of my head, I know KAWS and 123klan has vinyls, not sure about the prices though.

    @Reld yeah i saw kaws ones at a shop called DSM in Lomdon but it was way too expensive lol. The 123klan is the best i’ve seen so far :)

    Just starting out with a vinyl collection. There is no where better than with Kuso Vinyl. My favorite by far is the Rotobox Celsius. I am a HUGE fan of his and have all the production pieces as well as Spencer and Stephen Ong customs. It is an addiction. I just recently finished my own custom Celsius for a contest over on Spankystokes.com. If you like this little guy you need to check out the below links for other artist customs. Also just check out http://www.rotoboxvinylanatomica.com/ for all their custom work.
