Patricio Oliver’s Cucos are the unique and bizarre children that live on the edge of the Dark Forest and spread madness and horror to everyone they encounter. These diminutive deviants are looking for new playmates to join in their demented games. Are you evil enough to be a Child of the Dark Forest?You can see more photos of the vinyl toys here, and here's Patricio's Flickr gallery.
Enter the Cucos: Costume Contest. Dress up as your own original character that fits in the Cucos world. All entries will be judged solely by Cucos creator Patricio Oliver based on creativity, uniqueness, overall effort and, ahem, execution.

Coming soon to a Borders near you, free Wi-Fi. Well, great, that's what we need more of in our bookstores: cheap hippies with laptops drinking coffee and discussing the importance of Keroauc. Goddammit so much.2. The first generation Taco Bell vinyl toys were so ghastly, I don't know why anyone even bothered mentioning them. The second generation is looking a little better, and the ad campaign directly targets Kidrobot.
