UNDFTD Japan are set to release a series of Miami Dolphin inspired t-shirts tributing the 1972 NFL Championship team. Largely considered one of if not the greatest team in NFL history, the ‘72 Dolphins posted a squeaky clean 14-0 regular season record. After the dust had settled, a 17-0 record went hand in hand with a Super Bowl championship. Three different colorways are available in each color of the Dolphins team colors. Available Saturday, October 13th at UNDFTD Japan as well as Japanese dealers.
On the heels of their recent rookie foray into the toy scene with Bounty Hunter on the Cap’n Bounch figure, Hong Kong based SiLLY THING has come up with another toy collaboration with Amos Toys. The inspiration for these figures are derived from Juno Mak’s album art from his disc Chapel of Dawn. Due to the unorthodox pose of the Wrestling Elves, a lot of physics were involved to ensure authenticity and accuracy to the artwork originally done by James Jarvis. Look for these to release in November.

Last month, we revealed a meeting of the minds between New York and Canada’s finest. Absurd and Goodfoot worked together to create the co-branded “Story of Champions” varsity jacket. The right side of the jacket belongs to “Hogtown’s” GDFT and features the Empire State Building and CN Tower (Canada’s and NYC’s tallest buildings) patched onto the sleeve. The left side of the varsity is ABSD’s and features “NYC” within a maple leaf, along with the “Rotten Apple” nickname embroidered by the cuff. The back of the jacket represents the best of both worlds, with the slogan “Lose some to win some.” Available mid-November at Goodfoot and Absurd retailers.
