Otto Bjornik - "Revenge of the Wolves"
I received this mail and thought that you should all see the incredible work.
Dear friends and fellow
toy lovers,
I've finally finished my
4th series, Revenge of the Wolves, which is a collaboration between me and my
little sister. I did the design and customizing while she did the great task of
sewing the clothes and making them fit. This was a project that I had been
wanting to do since mid last year. And seeing it come to reality is in itself a
great achievement for me. I can honestly say that this has been a labor of love
that I can't wait to share with all of you. Here's the story:
"The rumbling in
her babies' tummies is too much for Lyca to bear. It has been days since
they've last eaten, not since her husband was viciously killed while foraging
for food. Every night, Lyca and her little ones visit the bluffs where
she and her husband first fell in love. There, she wails for their loss
and longingly calls out for him in the vast emptiness. But the only sound
that answers is the echo of her cubs' whimpers and the growling of their
tummies.
She must snap out of her
grief and feed her starving babies. With a mother's instincts and a
widow's vindictiveness, Lyca vows to avenge her husband's murder. She
already got rid of the lumberjack. All she has to do now is devise a plan
to get that rabbit Lago once and for all."
The toys will be sold in
pairs. One wolf (7" munny or 3" dunny) will be paired to a red riding
hood dunny(3"). But if you're interested in getting the entire set(as
shown in the attached image), please feel free to contact me before the 24th as
I'd prefer to keep them together. I'll start doing full reveals of the toys,
including an 8" Lago, in my store starting Friday. They'll be available
for purchase on the 24th at around 9pm EST. Each set will cost 200-500$ at www.bjornik.bigcartel.com.
Hope to see you there.
Thanks for your time and
may you have a wonderful day!:)
Best regards,
Björnik

KegO' BOOM By "The Given"
"Introducing South Africa's first locally produced and manufactured Designer Resin Toy, “Keg O’ Boom” from The Given.
Keg O’ Boom is the realisation of years worth of idea’s, planning and hard work from Cape Town artist and designer; The Given.
Keg O’ Boom is a Super Limited Edition resin figure which has been hand moulded and cast from The Given’s original sculpt.
No more than 50 pieces of this brilliant figure will see the light of day with 1 in every 5 being Rare Glow in the Dark Variants and
there is even rumour of one Ultra Rare hand painted figure.
The figure will be available during a pre-order period of 1 month for the surprisingly low amount of R150.
Once the pre-order period is over whatever figures have not been snapped up will be sold at a retail level at a price of R180.
We invite you to take part in making this project a success, so that hopefully we shall soon see South Africa’s Second locally produced and Manufactured Designer Resin Toy.
But you best hurry as we don’t expect these collector pieces to hang around for very long.
