TUTTZ – ONLINE.
Since we had quite a good number of web inquiries about our Tuttz exclusive, we decided to set aside a couple of random blind boxes to place in our online shop for the folks outside of New York City. The available pieces are from Wave 1 which included 3 Gold version Tuttz, 2 Tints and 1 Lemonade Jade. They are being sold blind boxed which means that you have the probability of receiving either a Gold, Tint or Lemondade Jade Tuttz when you place your order. They have been listed for sale at our online shop here. The pieces are being sold on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. Thanks and good luck.

Who is Tuttz…? The Egyptian King Tutankhamun had a favorite cat entombed with him on the day of his demise. Unbeknownst to the world was that this particular cat drank the King’s immortality elixir. Modern day archeologists were quite surprised to find a empty sarcophagus next to King Tut in the shape of a…cat. When the ancient hieroglyphics on this small sarcophagus were translated – the name inscribed was Tuttz…Rumor has it King Tut named this cat after a pet chameleon he was given as a gift because it too could change colors.
Tuttz is the brainchild of toy sculptor/artist Eric Nocella Diaz (END). In a world where everything is being made by machines, Eric is one of the few people that still believes in creating art by your own hands. He has been sculpting toy prototypes, action figures, maquettes and statues professionally for over 15 years, and has worked on high profile projects with major toy companies such as ToyBiz, Marvel, Mcfarlane Toys, ToysRus, Hasbro, Kidrobot, Art Asylum and Ka-Ching Brands. Some of the licensed projects he has worked on for those companies range from the award winning Beatles Yellow Submarine toy line, E.T., Preschool Spiderman, Lord Of The Rings, Classic Avengers, Japanese Anime FLCL, Huck Gee SkullHeads to the Video Game Award crowned monkey trophy for Spike TV. He is also a co-publisher, art director and editor of independent comicbooks through Xmoor Studios as well as a producer of popular high end designer resin figurines through his company Argonaut Resins. You can find out more about Eric here.
You’ve got all the info. We’ll see you at 10:00am on Saturday.
