MAN-E-NEWS// The Fletcher and the resin Hugo magnets from Elmos Empire x UME Toys…

It appears that Rich over at UME Toys has finally realised the benefits of child labour(!)… as the proud dad reveals the first resin castings from youngest UME clan member, Elmos Empire! Pictured to the left is a very special edition of  Rich’s popular Hugo magnet… each lovingly hand cast and painted by Elmo herself (is it just me, or do they look better than the originals?)! Coming packaged with a unique header design plus oinktastic sticker, these unfortunately (for us!) went on to sell out in a matter of minutes- here’s hoping for a second batch soon! Joining the Hugo magnets, Elmo has also been working with Rich on the moulding and casting of the latest UME addition, Fletcher the cat… as you can see from the pic the figure is well on the way to completion, so expect custom paints from the pair to be revealed soon!
