Fugitive Toys “Collections”

Published March 22, 2007 Site News 0 Comments

This is a quick post to let everyone know of a major section we’ve added to the site called “Collections.”

Collections on the Fugitive Toys site is a place for you to store photos of your entire toy collection and let others comment and share your “collection” with others.

Right now the functionality is fairly basic, but we’ve got big plans for how this will tie in to the rest of the site and you definitely want to be a part of it!

If you aren’t registered already, you need to be to have a Collection.

Get collecting!

Maori Munny

Published March 9, 2007 Product News , Site News 0 Comments

For the month of March we’ve got a sweet custom Munny from John Fellows. This is the Maori Munny, based on the New Zealand All Blacks Rugby team. It also sports a traditional Maori tattoo, or Moko on its face.

For men, the Moko showed their rank, their status and their ferocity, or virility. The wearer’s position of power and authority could be instantly recognized in his Moko. It would be considered a great insult if the person was not recognized as the chief he was, and this could lead to “utu” - vengeance.

The male facial tattoo - Moko - is generally divided into eight sections :

1. Ngakaipikirau (rank). The center forehead area
2. Ngunga (position). Around the brows
3. Uirere (hapu rank). The eyes and nose area
4. Uma (first or second marriage). The temples
5. Raurau (signature). The area under the nose
6. Taiohou (work). The cheek area
7. Wairua (mana). The chin
8. Taitoto (birth status). The jaw

This is the only Munny you’ll find like this, and we at Fugitive Toys are super proud to have the opportunity to bring it to you!
