These are mental, to be honest. Someone, somewhere, thought that it would be a really good idea to make a limited edition set of vinyl toy babies dressed as gangsters.
They aren't out yet - they're released in October 2008 - so if you want to get your mitts on them, you might have to wait, but I was thinking that we might have to get some in to adorn the office somewhere.
By all accounts, there are four of the little fellas: Rey Rey from around the way way, a playa who is #1 with all the shorties; Big Deuce who, according to the website, everyone knows is runnin things; Pookie the green-eyed baller; and Benjino a carrot-topped homey who is holding the fort down.
What with US exchange rates being what they are, at about a tenner a go, these little chaps are looking cheap at twice the price as a novel desk adornment.
Quality.
If they were REAL gangsta babies, they'd be covered in blood, put in a wheelchair, and would have gun wounds...cause that's how it is in real life, dumbasses

Maybe the manufacturers could arrange to donate a percentage of the proceeds of these babeez to action against knife crime or some such cause? Now that would be 'down!'
