Plaseebo is pleased to have a new custom in the “It Came From Skullbrain 2″ show at Super 7 in San Francisco, opening January 16th.

This is a one of a kind custom by Bob Conge titled “Wuu Tank” and was inspired by the great Japanese Kaiju tanks. It is 7 inches long by 5 inches high and is built of vinyl and plastic, with a battery operated LED unit that illuminates the red glass eyes when switched on.  Numbered 1 of 1 and signed.

‘What is Toy Karma? Well, in our case, it’s an art exhibit featuring artists expressing their love for classic Japanese toys. But it’s so much more than that. As Mark Nagata, founder of Max Toy Company and curator of this exhibit explains on his blog, it’s the idea that if you’re honest in your dealings that one toy that you’ve always dreamed of getting will eventually come to you. For many serious toy collectors it’s a guideline, a mantra and yes, even a lifestyle. This exhibit pays homage to the mysterious force and power that toys have over us.

Toy Karma, the exhibit, is held every other year at Rotofugi Gallery, Chicago. The first Toy Karma exhibit was held in September 2007′

Opening Saturday, September 5 from 7 – 10pm.  Exhibition runs through September 20th.
