Back in June 6th of 2006 (6/6/6/) Muttpop released the Narco Satanico version of their Tequila figure, featuring the amazing design talents of the one and only Frank Kozik.
It looked a little something like this:

The figure was released in a limited run of only 333 pieces exclusively through vinylpulse.com and I’ve always considered it sort of the Holy grail of designer toys. I’d never seen such a visually striking vinyl figure that captivated me the way the original Narco Satanico did three years ago.
Until now.

Ocran Ocinatas is Narco Satanico with a reversed color scheme. Even the name is reversed! But, to be fair, I think the true reversal of Narco Satanico would be Ocinatas Ocran, not Ocran Ocinatas, but it really doesn’t matter, I suppose. Not when a figure looks this sickeningly good.
Ocran Ocinatas doesn’t officially come out until January of 2010, but Muttpop will be offering limited quantities at their booth (#45) at this year’s DesignerCon on November 21st (this Saturday!) at the Pasadena Convention Center in California.
Muttpop will also finally be showing off their unseen contribution to the third series of BUDs minifigs from Jamungo!
If you plan on hitting up this year’s DesignerCon, I’d recommend bringing a fat-ass wallet because it looks like you’ll be needing it for all the money you’re sure to blow.

In case you haven’t heard, I also run this other little blog called blindboxed. It’s all about the world of urban designer toys and you should really check it out.
It was a weird week for me as it was my first time updating the site consistently since rsin and InfamousAdam left the site. They were two friends helping out with blogging duties, but their personal lives got kinda’ busy, so I’m holding down the fort by my lonesome for a while.
Here’s what’s been going on at blindboxed.com this week:
I managed to get some pics of a custom Skeletor DIY Pusher that I made a while back (above) and it’s currently for sale if anyone’s interested.
There’s also a sweet Mr. Shoe custom by Phu! and 2 sick custom Mini Munnys by nerviswr3k. If that weren’t enough customized awesomeness, there’s a fresh-to-death zombie Soopa by the Black Water Gallery (below).
If customized toys aren’t your thing, how about customized gadgets? Reactor88 customized these gorgeous Vimobot USB drives for this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
Finally, in toy news, toy customizer extrodinaire Okkle has teamed up with My Plastic Heart to release a limited set of 10 handmade, handpainted Birdlett figures, Erick Scarecrow is designing for movies, graffiti/toy artist Buff Monster has a new book coming out, Kidrobot announced an 8″ version of their popular Lucky Cat Dunny, and Muttpop announced an incredible new Tequila colorway.
