Alex Pardee’s first original vinyl collectible toy is now officially available for pre-sale over at TheLOYALsubjects’ website. Quoth Alex:
The final toy, which i designed for Upper PLayground to celebrate their 10th anniversary, is insane and I worked extremely close with the sculptors and painters to get it as close to a perfect recreation of my imagination as possible. Bendable arms, removable “tusk-sword”, and standing almost 10″ Tall, and it looks rad in the package! I am really proud and excited that this will be released JUNE 14th!. The quantities are limited so go make sure you reserve/pre-order yours now, and if you buy it and don’t take it out of the box to play with it and help him exact his revenge, my face might be mad at you. grrrr.
