Brian McCarty's tribute to Meltdown

Wonderful toy photographer Brian McCarty pays tribute to the Hollywood store Meltdown, a hub of pop culture and comix on Sunset Boulevard for more than a decade. (Previous post about Brian McCarty here.) Whenever I visit my co-editor Mark in L.A., we rarely leave the house except to make a pilgrimage to Meltdown. This year marks the tenth birthday of the Meltdown mascot Mel, designed by BB pal Dan Clowes. From Brian's latest ePostcard:
Collaborating with the Devilrobots design studio in Tokyo, Meltdown turned to Japanese sculptor Monster 5 to bring Mel to life. The resulting "Melto-Fu" figure is seen above on his return home to Sunset.
