October Toys Expands the Gwin Family with MegaGwins
The Gwins have been super-sized!
October Toys is delighted to present the newest edition to the growing Gwin family – 13" white vinyl MegaGwins. MegaGwins will be available at San Diego Comic-Con and afterwards at www.GwinArmy.com.
As an added incentive, anyone who purchases one of their first 100 MegaGwins is invited to participate with their customized MegaGwin in a Gwin art show coming up in late 2007.
"Although I like small figures, it’s cool to have the large version that dominates your toy shelf," commented co-owner George Gaspar.
Gwins are a line of artist designed, vinyl penguins based on the Linux mascot, Tux, created by Larry Ewing and The GIMP. They sit approximately 2.5" high and artists of all skill levels are encouraged to try their hand at customizing them. Series 1 and 2 are available for purchase and feature designs by artists such as El Maz, Alex Pardee, Voltaire, Kruse, Charlotte Link, C. Spliedt, Christie, Doktor A, Mimic, Eric Treadaway, Nixon Scratches, idlechimp, and SpookyAMD. For more information on Gwins, please visit http://www.gwinarmy.com
