Melty Misfits

Mister Melty Vinyl Figure Pink Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by Modern Pop Culture Artist Buff Monster. 2022 Limited Edition New In Box "This is the first non-sofubi vinyl toy that I’ve produced myself. I wanted to make a unique version of Mister Melty. A figure that was large, iconic and articulated (unlike any previous versions). At 10” tall, it stands around twice the size of most of the resin figures, and over 3 times the height of the old sofubi versions. Hands, arms, body, legs and shoes all had to be resculpted. The pinks for this first colorway are all custom Buff Monster pinks. No standard colors here! I painted squares of various pinks on a piece of paper and mailed it to the factory in China so that they knew exactly what I wanted. The box is a standard cardboard box, with a custom clam shell inside, designed primarily to protect the figure." Buff Monster

DELUXE Stay Melty Book Hand Painted Rare Limited Edition Art Book With Graffiti Street Artist Buff Monster Modern Pop Artworks. 2022 Signed & Numbered Edition of 100. 256 pages, 6.75 x 8.75”, hardcover. Handpainted & HPM Silkscreen Cover, One of A Kind Original Art As Seen In Picture. This special version of the new book features a cover that has been hand-painted by me and then silkscreened by hand. The colors of the paint and the silkscreen vary widely, so each one is truly unique (and will be shipped randomly). It's signed and numbered (in an edition of 100) on the back. Also, each book has a thick durable protective plastic cover and is presented in an elegant black fabric slip-case with metallic silver foil stamp. The first version of the book was published in 2015 by Gingko Press. That book is packed full with over 600 photos of murals, paintings, toys and everything in between. Now over 6 years later, I’ve full updated the book. From the endpapers, to the section dividers, to the content in each section, I’d say it's mostly NEW. Of the existing pages, I consolidated and edited them to make room for 6 more years of paintings, murals and editions. We also added around 30 pages to the total page count. So it’s an even denser and larger overview of all of my various artistic endeavors, and still includes the awesome essay by the legendary Carlo McCormick. This new version also has more captions than before, and even comes with a small sheet of stickers! So whether or not you have the original version, this is one you’ll want to have!
