{ Seen Tag Model }

Made exclusively for the San Diego Comic Con, Toy Tokyo, teamed with Planet 6, has produced an incredible, blazing red model/sculpture of legendary graffiti writer SEEN's internationally-known, flawless tag. It's solid, bright red, and big at ten inches by 6 inches, a great piece to add to any urban collector's shelf. It looks good enough to sit in a gallery, but is cheap enough that people like you and me can have it in our living rooms. So you know, SEEN is Richard Mirando, one of the original New York City subway painters from the late '70s and early '80s, and one of the few that have not disappeared into the darkness since. His creativity and versatile skills have kept him relevant all these years, still talked about by young writers for his legendary work and huge full-car train murals. SEEN has since become a successful independent artist and has taken an artform that most used to look down upon, and helped carry it into the white walls of many of todays most renowned galleries. SEEN has in recent years taken his art off the walls and into the sculpture realm, using fiberglass, resin, metal and more to create 3D forms similar to the vision he has been putting on walls for years. SEEN cannot be described, only witnessed, and now you have the opportunity to bring his work home with you.

That settles it!
Crown Dozen is going to next year's San Diego Comic Con, come hell or high water! Did you see the train piece that accompanies this? It's also a Comic Con exclusive.
Limited Edition "Blue Glow" Attaboy Axtrx figure = Comic Con exclusive.

This list goes on into infinity.

It's where all the shit is happening, apparently. I'm saving up change right now, in hopes that I can afford a measly ticket in. Then begins the true torture- All that cool shit everywhere you turn and no money to buy it with!
