BOBBLE HEAD: OKKLE’S INCREDIBLE BUBBLE BOBBLE CUSTOM TOY
I knew I shouldn’t have waited too long: earlier in the weekend I spotted this pitch-perfect custom via Vinylpulse, in which UK artist Okkle took one of my favorite toys released this year — Peskimo’s Monster Burp — and turned it into a tribute to Taito’s Bubble Bobble with little Bub blowing a massive Beluga-bubble.
After hemming and hawing all weekend about whether to drop the £85 on it, I check again this morning and it is, of course, long gone. But we can still gawp at its craftsmanship, I suppose, and the good news is that it’s not too late to get the Peskimo original and attempt the conversion yourself.
