{     The London Police Toy Set     }    

For those of you who have not been introduced, The London Police is a street art crew based out of Amsterdam. They have been picking up steam among the street art community since the turn of the century. Gaining even more notoriety through the Pictoplasma publications and various other art books and magazines.

If you attended last years "Wooster on Spring" (the Woodstock of street art) then you may have seen the "gi-normous" lad displaying the number 11, marking the address. Not to mention, The London Police are regularly splashing their trademark bold line-work lads on nearly every continent on the globe with the occasional gallery appearance.

With all this in mind, I think a toy from these guys is long over due. In a saturated world of toy product, this is one that should not get away. The 2d to 3d conversion that has proved difficult on some toys in the past worked out well with the lads. Box set comes complete with a 10.5" lad, a 6" dog and an extra lad head to swap out depending on the mood. In a limited edition of 1000 with a small number signed on random boxes, these will not be around forever. Here is a spot to pick one up.
