What Pugzee is to Red Hook is what Sideshow Barker is to Coney Island

2009-10-07T13:14:00.003-04:00

This is the 3rd paint deco of Pugzee. This version of Pugzee Pays tribute to another Legendary Brooklyn neighborhood, Coney Island. Just like Red Hook, Coney Island has been through its own transformations, from Luna to Steeple Chase Park to Coney Island. Throughout Coney's changes, onething remained, a fixture of Coney Island, the sideshows.

What Pugzee is to Red Hook is what Sideshow Barker is to Coney Island.

Side show Barker will be the 4th Original Figure released from Dave Cortes (Inu Art). This awesome paint job was designed and executed by Brandy Anderson. Brandy Anderson is responsible for painting every prototype produced by Inu Art working together with Dave Cortes for over 6 years. Sideshow Barker appropriately name by Brandy Anderson was conceived when Dave Cortes dropped a Blank resin casting at Brandy's place with the idea that she would paint whatever she wanted with it. Dave was blown away when Brandy dropped off the tatted pug as Coney Island's Illustrated Man.

Sideshow Barker comes with the same accessories as the Jailbreaker and Streetwise versions, including a limited color casting of his boardwalk buddy "Vinny Hotdogs". This dirty Nathan Hotdog eatin' Rat will come in 40 different casted colors each casted color will be limited to 5 of a kind. Colors will range from opaque to clear tinted. Sideshow barker is limited to 200 pieces and with its limited accessory "Vinny Hotdogs" there will only be 5 of a kind.

Sideshow Barker also comes with a cool boardwalk base and
Retro Packaging, the figure retail for $64.99

Introducing Pugzee's Crew

2009-06-11T14:55:00.007-04:00

On a interview with 21-7 Magazine, Dave talks about Pugzee's Crew.

21-7:
Could you give us any information about the next characters you will be presenting?

Dave Cortes:
So far, from his crew alone, there is about 10 [characters]. Some of my favorite are Pito, the junkie snitch Chihuahua, or Sugah, his crackhead counterpart. Then there’s Niko, the 3 legged golden glove boxer, who, despite his handicap, is still nicer than any boxer out there. So basically it will be a tale of the streets of Brooklyn. The Brooklyn I know and heard of, the gritty streets of Red Hook.

Pugzee's story takes place in the 1930's where he is wrongly jailed and upon receiving the news that his neighborhood in Red Hook, Brooklyn has been taken over, he stages a daring jail break! Pugzee accessories include a comic book where you can read more of his story as well as removable parts such as a cigar, cap, baseball bat, thought bubbles and dry eraser to allow you to express your moods through Pugzee.
