PLAYGROUND MAGAZINE :: UPDATE MAY 20, 2003

MAD CAR :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Created by Japan's Digital Hardore band The Mad Capsule Markets, Mad Car is a popular new vinyl toy in Hong Kong. Mad Car is designed to let Kubricks drive madly in the driver's seat. 7 x 7 x 5 inches.

THE NOT MAN :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Japan-based brand Mad Toyz just released a new figure based on the character created by metal band Anthrax. Mad Toyz director Kenny is a long-time Anthrax fan. This Not Man is the second generation figure (the first is very rare). Only 100 produced.

HOT TOYS SDU 12-INCH FIGURE :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The latest figure from Hot Toys, and their main product this year. SDU is made with the Hot Toys new muscle body, with accessories based on Hong Kong's actual SDU troopers. Two styles are available: Breacher and Assaulter. The figures' T-shirt are designed by Japan's Project SRS. Rumor has it that other SDU crossovers (like Hot Toys' previous HALO crossovers with Eric So and Jason Siu) will be coming soon.

POSSE NEGATIVE VERSION :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hong Kong designer Simon Wong launches a new version of two characters from last year's Posse twelve-inch figure series. Based on the concept of negative film, the new all-black Ando and Ami figures are a Milk Magazine exclusive.

MR. TORRANCE FROM THE SHINING ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
We can't confirm that this creepy likeness from one of Jack Nicholson's finest moments is an officially licensed product. The box info mentions that it's made by CRM Toys, and it was sold at Japan's Super Festival 28 at the end of April. It's selling for a high price though, and Hong Kong toy shops are still getting a good response.
