The Tubular Babe Odyssey

When we embarked on the journey to create our first figurine, the Tubular Babe, we knew we were in for a wild ride. Little did we know just how turbulent the seas ahead would be. It felt like speed dating on steroids as we scoured countless suppliers and sifted through endless samples in search of the perfect match.

Then, the Covid curveball hit, throwing production shutdowns and shipping delays into the mix. But undeterred, we pressed on, determined to bring our Tubular Babe to life despite the challenges thrown our way.

We understood that crafting these handcrafted figurines would be no easy feat, with their intricate molds and assembly steps. Yet, we remained steadfast in our commitment to delivering a product of unparalleled quality.

Despite our best efforts, delays plagued us, leaving us scrambling to ship our Babes without proper inspection. Some arrived at their new homes less than runway-ready, teaching us the harsh reality that behind every beautiful thing, there's often some pain. But we took responsibility and ensured a happy outcome for all who received a less-than-perfect Babe.

The Tubular Babe saga was a lesson learned, and we emerged wiser and more determined than ever. Enter our dazzling new stars—Flash & Fresh Babes! With a trusted supplier and improved communication, we're poised for a smoother production process. And with Covid no longer casting a shadow, these new Babes are ready to make their grand entrance, looking fabulous and eager to find their forever homes.

While the Tubular Babe adventure was a rollercoaster of highs and lows, we can finally say it was worth every twist and turn. Our pursuit of figurine perfection continues, and we're excited to share more fabulous escapades with you in the future. Stay tuned for the next chapter in our figurine odyssey!

When illustrator and friend of The Dudes, Andrew Morgan, brought his Awesome ABCs book series to life, transforming the letters of the alphabet into colorful characters from the worlds of music and sports, we knew it was a perfect fit for our community.

As soon as the Awesome ABCs books hit our Berlin store, they became an instant hit with our customers.

But that's not all – we're also launching the Awesome ABCs clothing range, s

Too Short Smokes Picture this: a spontaneous post-work booze bender leads to a wild naked skating session through the streets of Berlin.

Long story short, our adventures are always worth the ride. But that's not a
