Super 7 Book – Volume 1 (aka “The Mook”)

The long awaited “Issue 16″ sees Super7 transition from a quarterly magazine to a regularly published book instead. At 280 pages, Super7 the Book is a massive tome on the history of Japanese toys, as well as the new crossover kaiju boom. With long form photo essays on the original Marusan and Bullmark Toho (Godzilla) series figures from 1966-1974, Nakajima’s highly influential yet obscure Astro-Mu Five, the founder of the fight figure format, Tokyo’s Secret Base, and fan favorite RealxHead, as well as collector spotlights, interviews with Neighborhood’s Shinsuke Takizawa, artwork from classic packaging and header cards, as well as articles, checklists, interviews and in-depth analysis of the toy scene as a whole, no one covers toys quite like Super7. Foil-stamped, slipcased and printed with high-gloss varnishes, Super7 the Book sets the bar for all other toy books to live up to… if they can.

BANKSKY – BOOK

NOW IN!..

banksy_oldwoman_gang1.jpg

Artistic genius, political activist, painter and decorator, mythic legend or notorious graffiti artist? The work of Banksy (Cut It Out, Existencilism) is unmistakable, except maybe when it’s squatting in the Tate or New York’s Metropolitan Museum. Banksy is responsible for decorating the streets, walls, bridges and zoos of towns and cites throughout the world. Witty and subversive, his stencils show monkeys with weapons of mass destruction, policeman with smiley faces, rats with drills, and umbrellas. His statements, incitements, ironies and epigrams are by turns intelligent and cheeky, commenting on everything from the monarchy and capitalism to the war in Iraq and farm animals. His identity remains unknown, but his work is prolific. The best of his work — old and new — is collected here in a big, hardbound, fully illustrated color volume. “There’s no way you’re going to get a quote from us to use on your book cover.” -Metropolitan Police spokesperson
