Not sure which was cooler: Interviewing Frank Kozik or getting to look through his toy collection. You can read the full interview with Frank here:

An excerpt of the intro:
Frank Talk With Mr. Kozik
Frank Kozik is misunderstood. Or maybe he’s perfectly understood in a scene with many contradictions. Either way, he’s earned a living making stuff he likes for three decades. At the age of 48, he’s already been a successful poster artist and run his own record label. These days, most people know Frank Kozik from his toy art, which began in Japan with Medicom and Bounty Hunter. In the early part of this decade, Kidrobot discovered him through a credit card order, and what followed set the course for both Kozik and the American vinyl toy scene.
Frank invited us over to visit his San Francisco studio-slash-toy shrine this week. Perhaps you’ve met Kozik before, at a toy signing or event, and come away thinking he seemed jaded or grouchy. (I have.) But at his home base, the man who gave birth to a million smoking bunny rabbits was at ease and open. For a couple hours, we talked about toys (there to make people happy), art (jury’s out on what it is) and money (one of Frank’s unabashed favorite things). Frank answered every question we lobbed his way. Ultraviolence? Fiberglass on the way. More Kaiju? Maybe in 2011. Current music? “Old metal and flavor-of-the-week fake South African hip hop.” Let’s begin at the beginning.

Oh and for the fun of it, you can add notes to identify them!

Michael Fleming was pretty much the spitting image of himself at the Alternative Press Expo a few months ago. Back in November, he’d run out of the puke green colorway of his Putrid Pal figure. [I know this because I picked up the last one there for my collection.] The Putrid Pal was restocked in all his splendor for Wondercon. Michael talked about some of the schematics that hadn’t made it through to production, including a “tattoo-like” colorway. There’s a possibility you may see a hand-drawn version as part of our custoMONDAY series! Michael had a small cluster of tiny paintings for $35 each. Love the mini Putrid Pal! For more of Michael’s art, check out Sights & Sounds, a collaboration with Dan Goodsell at Monkeyhouse Toys opening March 14th.
