Editorial Review for Munky King – by Kim Cooper
In Short
The only kids shopping in this compact toy store are those chaperoning their parents while scoping out the latest Japanese import Kubrick figures, peculiar plushies and limited edition, artist-designed vinyl toys. Prices are five times what they'd be for mass-produced items, but the weird little creatures by visionaries like Gary Baseman, Tim Biskup and James Jarvis are at least unique and eye-catching. The shop also stocks T-shirts, art prints and colorful, unusual stocking stuffers.
