Custom Hulgers
by Josh Rubin
If you happened to miss the buzz a couple days ago, Pokia relaunched as Hulger and will be manufacturing old school corded cell phone headsets. Even better, they have Bluetooth and VoIP models in the works.
Right now they're auctioning a bunch of customized Hulgers that were in the Margin London show last February. The designs come from I-Saw, Junky Styling, New Future Graphic, Revolution or Death, and Supremebeing. The proceeds go to Oxfam.
The Good Wood Gang
by Ami Kealoha
The latest from Friends With You is a series of five new wooden hand-carved and hand-painted modular toys. The line-up includes the four-legged Mr. T.T.T. Burger (why is anthropomorphic food so irresistible?), an ominous black box figure called Black Foot, a pink baby named Lucky Doovoo, the multi-armed robot Squid Racer, and a cone-shaped Sweet Tooth.
The official launch will take place at the kidrobot store July 7th and in Giant Robot's new NYC store July 8th.

(MALIN+GOETZ) Travel Kit
by Josh Rubin
I've been a fan of (MALIN+GOETZ) since they launched a year and a half ago; their body cleanser was a no brainer replacement for the Kiehl's I had grown tired of. Their soaps and moisturizers synthesize natural botanical ingredients with an advanced performance technology. And the packaging, designed by 2x4, is a great modern-minimal interpretation of old fashioned chemist labels.
Just in time for Summer jaunts comes their Essentials kit featuring 1oz bottles of everything you need.
