Chris Brown to release collectible toys lineControversial R&B star Chris Brown appears to be a big kid at heart. The 22-year-old has teamed up with new business partner and artist Ron English to release a new line of toys, according to Billboard. The duo’s exclusive collection of limited-edition toys and original art sculptures - which they're selling through a company they've dubbed Dum English - will go on sale in Los Angeles on May 2.
The venture is an extension of Brown’s MechanicalDummy blog/lifestyle site which showcases his personal street art as well as the art of other up-and-comers. And there appear to be price points for everyone: A toy necklace reportedly retails for $75, while a life-size fiberglass sculpture costs $20,000. But hurry - there are reportedly only 1,000 pieces available in the limited-edition toy series, and 20 pieces of the fiberglass sculpture. Brown, who’s said to be wrapping up work on his fifth studio album, “Fortune," commended English’s artistic vision in a statement: "Ron has to be the most creative, 'out there' artist. His works is so precise but at the same time so unorthodox." |

I used to think he looked hot until I saw him up close. He looks like one of those inbred hillbillies..I ran home and burned his poster i had
I THINK CHRIS LOOKS LIKE THE POOP IN THOSE PORTI POTTIES...HIS FACE IS THAT BAD. HE IS AN IMITATOR...A POSER AND A WOMAN BEATER. IF HE EVER GOT INTO A FIGHT WITH A REAL MAN HE WOULD PEE ON HIMSELF AND RUN OFF CRYING. HE WALKS LIKE A THAI TRANNIE. I BET HE PIKS HIS NOSE AN EATS IT
Chris brown is nothing but an over inflated ego ...wanna be..He needs to be slapped around like the lil snot nosed biatch he is...skinny pennnnis loser...i can wait for the action figures to come out some i can amke some phucked up stop action videos onit..Like a ken doll making brown take it up the poop chute...or his giving a donkey head lol
remember me??
Your daughters and little sisters just love him,that's why ya'll hate him so much.
Dum English sums it up nicely. Maybe his woman beating buck teeth will be able to utter some sentence in comprehensible English one day. He is an Illiterate ghetto monkey who dances like an illiterate ghetto monkey and beats women like an illiterate ghetto monkey. I hope his mother is hanging her head in profound shame at the monstrosity of a human being she has reared. I hope he dies a horrible and anguished death. He deserves nothing less.
how can you wish death on someone. what kind of person are you..
Does it include a boy doll that beats up girl dolls?
Is it acceptable for a woman to pull off her high heel shoe and beat a man in the head while the man is driving? Why aren't people condemning the woman that beat the man in the head with her shoe?
Inb4 "Kung Fu Grip".
I beat my brown daily.
I can't wait for Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Rihannas.
Dang! I was hoping to find some vintage Mego and Ertl toys.
We beat Polanski mercilessly on here on multiple different occasions. Him and Mel Gibson make for great punching bags. Much like Rihanna literally was for Chris. And by now bashing Chris, in print, is pretty old sport, still fun though.
Please you beat anybody black like h*ll on this blog way worse than Gibson or Polanski.
Some of you would like to claim he's irrelevant – just that you can't get enough of him. Might you guys have issues – maybe not? – just wouldn't mind watching Polanski(raped a 13yr old girl) movies, Mickey Rourke, ex-light-heavyweight boxer who beat wife Carre Otis, Sean Penn who beat Madonna.
Oh no, it's Chris Brown..forget serial killers, just bash him(the new sport i guess)
Chris Brown is evil beyond arrogant.
Chris Brown for President!!
I don't think these are collectable. Somebody would have to actually want these things for that name to work...
this is the least important story in all of news history!
And yet....here you are troll...
Female versions come complete with 2 black bruised eyes as standard. Bloody nose is optional. -TB
He should market them to five year olds, so he can be among his intellectual contemporaries.
Ron English has just lost all credibility as an artist. Too bad – I USED to like his work.
Accessories for the figures include a tire-iron, a clump of nappy hair that fits right into his hand, and a warrant for his arrest.
This is ridic. WGAS about Chris Brown?
It's part of a series, the young slap-a-ho wanna-be thug, the beaten girlfriend, and he older wanna-be thug tossing someone's salad in prison.
The whole family will enjoy them
who picked the picture for this story? Does anyone else see why its so awkward??
No, what?
Just pull the string and it smacks up the closest b!tch
Keyryst, the banality seems to never end.
You just hatin' 'cause i'm gettin paper and you're broke ha!
Please I hope no one purchase his crap.
whtey
Battered girlfriend not included.
@kita,if it doesn't i'll be first in line to enact for yOu.
This is crazy.

He's got a sculpture of a beaten female singer called "black & blue" that's fabulous! I wonder who the model is?

So will any of these figures include a spring-operated function in the waist that allows it to have super-slapping action?
