391 Views

Into bootleg style designer toys? DKE has your back at SDCC 2019! As always DKE at the forefront of spreading the bootleg resin movement to the masses. Like we have sad on many occasions, DKE Toys doesn’t mess around when it comes to working with independent art toy releases from across the world.

Lazertronic Sticker Pac by Suckadelic

It’s 12 stickers in a pack. It says that they zap on the packaging. But that’s a lie. They just stick. For less than a buck each you can’t really complain. If it’s from Suckadelic you know it’s quality.


Bio: The Sucklord is a New York City Pop Artist and Television Personality known for his subversive Action Figure mashups and Reality TV Persona. Operating under the Brand SUCKADELIC, The Sucklord’s Line of self-manufactured Bootleg Toys steal shamelessly from STAR WARS, Vintage Advertising and All manner of Pop Culture Trash. Packaged in layers of ironic self-Mockery, His shoddy looking wares have inspired an entire secondary Art movement, with dozens of entrepreneurial Toy Bootleggers creating their own versions of highly referential, low-Rent interpretations of their favorite figures. The Suck-aesthetic carries over into the Sucklord’s Media Enterprise with the thoughtful-yet-raunchy Talk show, The SUCKHOUR and The Lo-Fi Sci-Fi Serial, TOY LORDS of CHINATOWN. The Sucklord has appeared on Several Reality TV programs such As BRAVO’S Work of Art: The Next Great Artist and The Dating Game, using those venues as an opportunity to create spectacular pieces of Live Performance Art. Recently The Sucklord has increased the scale of his work, putting oversized Blister-carded figures in Tokyo Art Galleries, the homes of the famously wealthy, and the Walls of downtown New York City.

Set of 122.5″ x 3.5″ Prism Stickers

Darth Bones by Mike Egan

DKE originally made Bones and Lucky sofubi by Mike Egan in Japan but we decided to go back to the drawing board and start again in resin. We were going to release the first regular version and then I thought what are we doing. This is comic con!!! So Darth Bones was born!!! 


Bio: Mike Egan is a Portland, Oregon based artist who received a BFA at Edinboro University of Pennsylvania in 2000. After graduating Mike attended mortuary school in Pittsburgh and worked as an embalmer. While being on call as an embalmer Mike used the down time to hone his artistic style. In 2006, a friend put together a gallery show in Pittsburgh and included his paintings. He sold three the opening night and has been working with galleries all over the U.S., Canada and the UK ever since.

Regurgitated Ideas by Killer Bootlegs

This figure previously came out in 2013 and it really encapsulated the criticism of the scene. We love making fun of the medium as well. This is a new edition for 2019 with new card art and new more barf-like material.

False Idol: The Dark Lord by ADi

ADi is an Australian born artist who caught our attention with his series called False Idols. These were generally one of a kind wooden statues that reduced a characters’ traits to simple colors and geometric shapes. We sent him a package of blister samples and asked if he could do one of his designs smaller and in larger quantity for SDCC.

Chanloh Sa Mou Rai by Attack Peter

Peter is best known for his linoleum block prints. He carves out an image on a linoleum sheet and presses them against a special handmade paper from Nepal called “lokta”, which almost feels like cloth. So we asked him if he could make a card back using the same process. Figure is called Chanloh Sa Mou Rai which translates to Space Samurai in Khmer (language spoken in Cambodia). 

Hand cast 3.75″ scale figure on linoleum block printed card Signed and numbered edition of 40. $80.

El Bar2D2 by Carlos Ramirez

We found this amazing collection of rusty old metal beer cans. Carlos sculpted the parts which were cast in resin and then he hand painted and customized each one. No two cans are alike and each is a different vintage brand. Signed and numbered out of 50 on the back. Bagged with a header card. At $100 this is one of the best deals of the show. You can’t get a piece of his art for less.

It’s Cardboard by Barminski

Bill Barminski is a well known fine artist whose work has been featured in Beyond the Streets LA and NYC exhibitions. His primary focus is working with cardboard. This is another example of making fun of the medium. Each piece is completely hand made and totally compostable!!

This is the 4th installment In Mark Todd’s STR WAS series and the first human Mark has created for the series. Card backs were printed on a reisograph to give that underground zine feel and Mark as always delivers on these hand painted beauties.

Keanu by Mark Todd and Janky Toys

When Janky Toys and Mark Todd team up it equals KEANU!!! What’s funny about this series is that releasing just one of these at a time would not work conceptually. All 5 have to come out at the same time.


That’s 5 times the “whoa!”

Hand cast and painted 3.75″ carded figures. Signed and numbered edition20 available of each style. $65.

The Great Showdowns by Scott C

KRBtronic by Manly Art

In 1994, Jack Kirby passed away. In the dead of night, Hasbro took possession of his brain, as specified by a lucrative deal made in his twilight years, and it was placed in the biomechanical interface of a supercomputing art automaton. Kirbytron (as he was now referred to) was tasked with designing a new series of Star Wars action figures to try and resurrect the once lucrative toy line. In his new incarnation, Kirbytron set about this task with youthful abandon. In 1995, the Power of the Force line was released in all of its Kirby-esque, muscle-bound glory.


Early in 1996, Kirbytron’s support team came into the lab to discover he was gone. It appears that after fashioning a compact, mobile power source, he severed the cables tethering him to the lab. Kirbytron left no trail and his whereabouts are unknown to this day.


This toy features original Kirbytron artwork and a production action figure from the Power of the Force action figure line mounted on a custom card-back. This is a one of a kind piece of art and features Kirbytron’s signature day-glow colors. Don’t be fooled by the ‘Jason Chalker’ signature on the art. It’s a clever ruse to hide the true origins of the art.


Disclaimer: This is all fiction… but it sure would explain a lot!”


Artist Jason Chalker took 24 of the 90s Power of the Force Kenner Star Wars figures and created an original illustration for each one in a very distinct day glow Jack Kirby style. These figures were known for being very “bulky” so the Jack Kirby style fits. 


Jason Chalker (aka Manly Art) is a Detroit based illustrator and toy maker. He has done illustration work for Upper Deck and Topps on brands such as Marvel, Mars Attacks, and Star Wars. His Pimp2-D2 action figure line has managed to find its way into the collection at Rancho Obi-Wan and the homes of collectors around the world.
