Designer Vinyl Takes Center Stage with New Releases and Debuts

Leecifer teams up with StrangeCat Toys for a unique TriBlaze Spark debut, while MAp-MAp unveils new custom Dunnys.

The world of designer vinyl is buzzing with creativity this week, highlighted by two notable entries. First, Leecifer has partnered with StrangeCat Toys to launch the TriBlaze Spark, a chunky three-eyed figure in the new Brooklyn 2026 Edition. The release, dubbed “TriBlaze Candy Corn,” perfectly captures the seasonal spirit with a color scheme of orange, black, and pale flame. This collaboration, covered by Spanky Stokes, showcases Leecifer’s penchant for combining whimsy with a dash of the eerie, making it a perfect Halloween collector’s piece.

Adding to the designer vinyl scene, Spanky Stokes also reports on MAp-MAp’s latest project—a duo of custom Dunnys that are sure to capture the imagination of any enthusiast. The new figures, named Tairluud and The Juide, push the envelope in terms of both design and narrative depth, further cementing MAp-MAp’s reputation for innovative and atmospheric customization. These entries into the Kidrobot Dunny universe are likely to draw interest from collectors who appreciate bespoke artistry and the story each piece tells.

Meanwhile, the latest issue of the LEGO Star Wars magazine (#86) is now available, offering fans a combination of adventure and collectibles. Besides the main comic story featuring Poe Dameron in an action-packed space duel, the issue comes with mixed novelties including original builds like a 36-piece Marauder and a unique “zombie” Night Trooper minifigure. Though primarily targeted towards young readers, the unexpected collectibles might pique the interest of mature LEGO aficionados who appreciate unique and rare additions to their collection.

Overall, the collectibles scene is marked by strong entries in both the designer vinyl and traditional licensed spaces, providing something for both niche art toy enthusiasts and mainstream collectors alike. As the market continues to evolve, these creative efforts exhibit how collaborations and customized pieces are becoming essential components of the collector’s landscape.
