Machomp

5thTurtle is a Bronx-born, Maryland-based artist influenced by comic books, pop culture, and you guessed it "The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles." He likes to experiment with paintings, graphic design and light sculpting which led to his first figure - The Dead Dreamer. If he's not in the shop you'll find him supporting others in the toy community. Chomp originated as a quick sketch by Connor McConnell in high school and was later brought to life by animator Benjamin Su. We began releasing pins and t shirts in June of 2018 and our first Chomp vinyl figures debuted in December that same year. We're continuing to grow as a company and expand into new unique products. We firmly believe in collaborating with talented artists and we'll always look into new opportunities to do so. Who are we? Just your average nerds. He is the calm, quiet & rational one. She is the loud, messy & impulsive one. Ying & Yang. A couple of collectors who love all things pop culture, street art, graffiti & a passion for the strange and unusual. Why are we here & what are we doing? We found through our long journey of collecting, so many amazing independent artists & designers from all over the world, we want to share their creations & show them love & support. We never stopped our passion or love for collecting, but at times, we felt frustrated, burnt out & like much of the community didn’t feel like it was as much fun anymore.
