Life is Flashing Before Your Eyes!

So usually we get a box from gargamel and it sits in the shop for a couple of weeks or a couple of months and then we put it up online. This time we got the box and decided we would actually run GH like a real business and get these beautiful toys up on the site. This upset a few Super 7 buyers. We had no idea these toys weren’t out in the states. Not going to take these down as they are already up, but in the future if Super 7 sends us their release dates we will adhere. Anyhoo we gots some NEW Butanohana + Gargamel Toys.

Gakinko, Oku, Bira, Sira Seijin by Butanohana.

Relpe / Helper by Tim Biskup + Gargamel.

Come and Get’em!

See a tiny glimps of the wonder-wheel!!!

Portland, Oregon’s art scene is a lot like it’s music scene. Small, diverse and more vibrant and then a rainbow on psychedelic mushrooms. Portland’s creative community might be the youngest on the west coast, but it’s gaining epic recognition (see Paul Bunyan and the latest issue of XLR8R). At the heart of this creative community, you wont find the desire for fame or fortune, nope all you’ll find are younger folks who just love making things and having fun.
The Grass Hut gang just love to make things and have fun. Maybe that’s why most folks think they are some kind of arts collective? Grass Hut is a physical and mental place where friends build fires under each other’s ideas and encourage each other to make good art.
Grass Hut is made up of APAK, Bwana Spoons, Martin Ontiveros, Le Merde and Scrappers. They are Toy Designers, Painters, Illustrators, Sculptors, Printmakers, Writers and Friends. Together and apart they have been rocking art shows around the world for the past couple years, but they have never had a group show together at home.
The Grass Hut Gang’s first group show at Grass Hut Art Market will be all about having fun and making good art.

new sofubi!

We started finally adding some of the amazing soft vinyl rainbow of gargamle butanonaha US toys and more to the shop section. probably have to scroll down but it’s there and expect more to pop up soon.

If you want multiple kaiju, just pay the shipping on each and we will refund some dough to combine shipping. Still working out and pumping iron on our bugs.
