Okedoki and VTSS Present Puck the Pug Dog Vinyl Toy

Puck by Okedoki (VTSS edition)

According to Wikipedia: “The pug is a toy dog with a wrinkly, short-muzzled face, and curled tail.” Today, Okedoki and VTSS present a new collectible double entendre: Puck is a toy dog because he’s of the Pug breed and because he’s made of vinyl. As a certified cat lover, I think I can objectively say that Puck the Pug toy dog has THE BEST face.

You might have seen Puck put in an appearance over the years in Okedoki’s custom toys, drawings and paintings. Most recently, Puck made a cameo in Oke and her nephew’s collaborative piece for EARTH MOVEMENT (above left). The Canadian artist, who released Benny the Dreamer (now sold out) last year and had a one-month Artist Residency on this blog, told me that Puck is based on her own beloved Pug. Although the dog’s name was “Louie,” she began to call him Puck because he had a “puckface”.

The Puck the Pug dog toy is a 5-inch vinyl collectible designed and sculpted by Okedoki and produced under the highest standards by VTSS. If you’re familiar with Benny the Dreamer (who came with a pair of white gloves), you’ll appreciate the care that went into creating Puck, from concept to packaging.
