Gallery 1988: Los Angeles held a release party last night for the Vivisect Playset vinyl toys series.  You might recall our mentioning this gallery for the recent exhibit Under the Influence: A Tribute to Stan Lee.

…[T]he Vivisect Playset is a limited edition group of boutique vinyl toys based on an art show we’ve had for the past few years, curated and born from the mind of Luke Chueh. So…sort of like the Smurfs we all collected as kids, but these are way cooler and limited (almost like pieces of art themselves). This set features toys designed by 1988 regulars Luke Chueh, Joe Ledbetter, Greg “Craola” Simkins, Thomas Han, Amanda Visell, Peter Gronquist and Anthony Ausgang  [...] They come “blind box,” meaning you buy just a nice little box, and it could any of the toys, or some special surprise, inside.

You can pick up a blind box at Vinyl Fallout, in case you can’t get to the gallery.  My favorite is this jewel by Amanda Visell, but I’d be happy to get any of them.
