Dear Erick Scarecrow,

I really like your work. Lots of us do. But please — pretty please — release something in higher quantities so that some of your U.S. fans can get in on the action. Our toy shelves are cryin’ out for more Erick Scarecrow awesomeness.

Here’s the latest from the ESC-TOY, LTD. newsletter:

Straight from Vince’s Toy Studio in Taiwan is the new exclusive…Ice Cream Micci Chocolate & Chocolate Sprinkles on Vanilla Cone by Erick Scarecrow. The 6″ handpainted resin figure is signed/numbered by the artist and comes sealed in Scarecrow’s box. The edition size is limited to 25pcs. worldwide and will be sold on a first come first serve basis. Please contact vtsstoys@gmail.com for all international orders.

There’s also an interesting post on Erick Scarecrow’s blog explaining why he’s doing all these dessert-themed Mousey Micci figures. It turns out, he has a bit of a sweet tooth and draws some of his inspiration from a past job working at a ice cream shop. Check out the full post here.

I’m gonna’ go out on a limb and say this is my favorite Micci figure thus far. I love the little angry chocolate eyebrows. I’d totally be down for a 3″ Mousey Micci blindboxed set. Anyone else?

In case you haven’t heard, the cake is a lie. It’s just a towel.

Lookit’ that cake. Looks friggin’ scrumptious, right? Wrong! Some sicko thought it’d be a good idea to fold stupid towels so that they look like delicious cakes.

When you think about it, who even buys towels? I always thought they materialized in the vortex in my hall closet (Our apartment came with a vortex. Pretty cheap, too!), but everybody buys cake. Fuck that asshat and his delicious-looking trickery! No human stomach should be teased to such extremes.

If you want to be a complete dick and trick your friends and loved ones, you can get a fake cake towel here. They have a buttload of mock desserts to chose from ranging from about $5-$6 each. It’s actually kinda’ cool when you think about it. Sort of the Transformers of raggery.

Is raggery even a word?

Thanks to Jenny, who managed to escape the Aperture Science labs, for the tip!
