Titty-Shaka Resin Figure by Rolling Death Maui x Silent Stage Gallery x ʻUmi Toys Hawaiʻi

Rolling Death Maui is a creative collective of weirdos making the stuff they want inspired by growing up in Hawaii Nei. The Rolling Death Maui brand combines the group’s personal influences from living in Hawai’i and things that resonate with them like tattoo art, surfing, snowboarding, off-roading, and whatever may make them laugh. The company started making products that evolved from clever ideas combined with an unapologetic attitude. They’ve made everything from pins, patches, t-shirts…and even designer resin figures!

Rolling Death Maui has teamed up with Silent Stage Gallery and ʻUmi Toys Hawaiʻi to produce a killer resin figure of one of their most iconic designs, the Titty-Shaka! The legend behind the design is that Nate Robertson noticed a shaka sketch on a light table at a tattoo shop. Nate sketched boobs on the shaka thinking that everything is better with big boobs on them and the Titty-Shaka was created.

Produced by Silent Stage Gallery and ʻUmi Toys Hawaiʻi, the Titty-Shaka resin figure stands 6” tall, comes hand numbered, and is made of high impact resin. Please excuse the censored photos. If you'd like to see the figure uncensored then head over to the Rolling Death Maui website! Limited to just 100 pieces, the Titty-Shaka can be purchased now at the Rolling Death Maui online store for $120.

Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Screen Print by Juan Esteban Rodriguez x Bottleneck Gallery

The Regular Edition is limited to 175 pieces and will retail for $40, while the Variant is limited to just75 prints and will retail for $50.
