I was introduced to an ironic toy company called SUCKADELIC TOYS by, guess who/where, SuperPunch. I tried finding their website to link to it, but apparently they don’t have one. Which is too bad, cause they do some awesomely awesome stuff. And I’ve been babbeling about serious (kind of) things too much lately. So here’s a few examples of what Suckadelic does with Star Wars items. Ok- found the site and it’s posted up there now. Apparently this all started with a guy who made a mixtape entitled “Star Wars Breakbeats”, which I’d love to get my grubs on. They started making toys around 2001. I’m fairly certain most of their stuff is Star Wars themed. Check it:
An AT-AT Walker (which apparently is never even uttered in Empire Strikes Back. So I’m not sure how anyone knows what it’s called. Extended Universe, I guess. Never knew how far EU’s reach actually is) tagged as heck with graffiti I’m assuming from Mos Eisley…
Here’s a version of Boba Fett crucified onto an un-foiled “in attack position” X-Wing, around a celebratory display which reminds me of 1920′s America, specifically the Roman Catholic processions featured in The Godfather II. See, Jesus, Star Wars bounty hunters, mafia movies, history, it all connects somehow…
And this is exactly what it looks like, a “Stormtrooper DJ”:

I have a copy of Star Wars Breakbeats if you want to buy it. 50% neato, 50% ehh…
