Forbidden Planet is delighted to be hosting the LAUNCH EVENT for Matt ‘Lunartik’ JOnes’ latest vinyl figure Lunartik In A Cup Of Tea at the Forbidden Planet Megastore, 179 Shaftesbury Avenue, London WC2H 8JR.

And from 11am on Saturday 5th September, Matt ‘Lunartik’ JOnes will be in our window himself with a live urban art performance - decorating our glass in a way it’s never seen before!

Matt JOnes, also the designer of the 3D version of our famous ‘rocket’ brand, will be signing toys from 1 – 2pm on Saturday 5th September.
