Later today Kidrobot will be releasing one of its most exciting blind box mini figures series in a very long time, Toby’s Secret Society by Gary Baseman. While The Blot has never been a diehard Baseman fan, I know a lot of collectors who swear by his work. With that being said, this series is pretty awesome, both for its uniqueness and its ability to accurate translate Gary’s 2D work into amazingly accurate 3D mini figures.
The mythologies behind any secret society are complex and powerful. From the Masons to the Illuminati, mystery, intrigue, and deep spiritual roots can be traced back through their histories in both subtle and dangerous ways. Toby, the protector of dreams, memories, and darkest secrets, commands a sect of 11 spirits and brethren - the Disciple, the Princess of Secrets, the Goddess of Dreams, the Knight of Good Fortune, and the Seven Sacred Magi: Compassion, Destiny, Freedom, Lust, Love, Trust, and Truth – a select group of 3-inch figures chosen to represent the impulses of man.
2,500 cases include the full artist collection – buy one of these and your fraternal order will be complete. But what The Blot wants to know is, is 2,500 cases a lot or a little? The secret society comes to light today, October 20th, at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers. Each blind box of Toby’s Secret Society will retail for $9.95.
