Tiny Shrines To Big Teamwork

There have been a lot of great pairings in history. Batman and Robin were rad. Kirk and Spock kept each other balanced. It seems fitting that local designer/artist Sleepy Dan and vinyl toy team Monster Bot would finally mind-meld, as they do tonight at ATAMA (5307 E. Mockingbird Lane, Suite...

There have been a lot of great pairings in history. Batman and Robin were rad. Kirk and Spock kept each other balanced. It seems fitting that local designer/artist Sleepy Dan and vinyl toy team Monster Bot would finally mind-meld, as they do tonight at ATAMA (5307 E. Mockingbird Lane, Suite 107). It’s the unveiling of the tag-team’s Pillow Fighters series, a collection of new resin characters sold in sets of three. Monster-like in their orientation, these punchy little dudes come in numbered collectable boxes so you can nerd-out appropriately. The mini-toy party runs from 7 to 9 p.m. at your favorite culture-popped headquarters. It’s free. Visit blog.shopatama.com.
