Menta Flatwood

Giant Robot Store, established in 2001 features products from around the world. Notably, fun house wares, gifts, stationeries, t shirts, comics, plush and toy figures. Giant Robot is often cited as the birthplace for Asian Pop Culture products and Uglydolls. GR2 Gallery features art exhibitions by notable artists like Katsuya Terada, Luke Chueh, David Choe, Mari Inukai, Deth P Sun, Rob Sato, Ako Castuera, Sean Chao, Yoskay Yamamoto, Uglydoll, and countless others. Dehara Yukinori is a prominent Japanese artist and toy designer, well-known for his work in the designer toy scene, particularly for his contributions to kaiju (monster) and pop surrealism inspired vinyl figures. His toys are characterized by their playful, quirky, and often humorous designs, making them beloved in the art toy community. Dehara’s aesthetic is distinct, with his works often blending childlike innocence with a touch of the strange and surreal, creating figures that are both endearing and mysterious. Giant Robot teamed up with David Horvath, creator of UglyDolls, and asked artist Luke Chueh to curate a group custom toy show that will be on display during SDCC that features custom UglyDoll figures. Artists include: Luke Chueh, J*Ryu, Angry Woebots, David Horvath, Yukinori Dehara, John "Spanky" Stokes, 64 Colors, Miso, A Little Stranger, Mari Inukai, DrilOne, Leecifer, Kano, Scott Tolleson, and Julie West. If you plan on attending SDCC, these customs will be on display at booth #1729.
