Making the trip from across the Atlantic, the U.K.'s Dudebox arrived in New York City with a ton of vinyl creatures ... including a few new ones. There were the NYCC debuts of Ron English's King Monster and the Pete Fowler and Fiends' Dai Ocean, but a second Fiends series figure made it's way to the showfloor with Tristan Eaton's The Fib Fairy (US$25). It uses the same body as Dai Ocean with a different design, and Pete told us more designs will be on the way as part of the series. Can't wait to see how they turn out!

Also debuting at the booth was a brand new sculpt for the Dudebox line, Riccardo Bucchioni's Franken. Frankenstein-themed with a tank turret for a head, the 7.5-inch figure is definitely one of my favorite body designs, and for US$35, you can make one of the 300 Frankens yours right now. 

Finally, there's the Dudebox and Parsons design contest to talk about. The winner was announced at NYCC, and it's Loren Kang's Bob! Bob was made into a 3.5-inch figure that was on display at the booth. Congrats to Loren!
