The “Monster Bossy Bear” is released by Toy2R. As the toy press release states, “Two versions will be released in the assortment – the Classic Blue and the Roseus (or Pink) edition. Fans should be on the look out for variant versions within the assortment as one can never be sure what mood Bossy will be in.” We’ll be sure to have them both on-hand. David Horvath is half of the creative duo behind Uglydoll, which recently signed on to do a Hollywood animation project. Giant Robot was born as a Los Angeles-based magazine about Asian, Asian-American, and new hybrid culture in 1994, but has evolved into a full-service pop culture provider with shops and galleries, as well as an online equivalent.
