Once a month next year, teeny boutique toymakers <a href='http://www.unklbrand.com/'>UNKL will issue a series of <a href='http://www.unklbrand.com/blog/news/get-sick-in-2008/' target='_blank'>limited-edition figurines inspired by the <a href='http://www.ipecac.com/'>Ipecac Recordings roster. Yep, that Ipecac: The Mike Patton co-founded label with a bent for dumping disc after disc of weird-ass experimental punk/noize/sludge/rap on a gleefully suspecting public. And that UNKL, the people responsible for those <a href='http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/42362-wilco-become-toys'>Wilco figures. It is, to say the least, a strange pairing.<br />
<br />
Still, these Ipecac toys are really nifty-looking, with a lot more personality (if a slightly higher chance of coming to life and murdering your face) than, say, a Kindercore set might. Each figure will be available individually in a limited edition of 500, with a new one arriving each month.<br />
<br />
Stay tuned for updates from our &quot;Mike Patton <a href='http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/news/46456-mike-patton-to-voice-bionic-commando-in-video-game'>regresses into childhood watch '07&quot; as they come.<br />

As for Ipecac, their next release is Brian Retzell's score to the recently released vampire flick 30 Days of Night, out October 30. [MORE...]
