ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

GAMA-GO‘s Big Vinyl Yeti has arrived early, and to celebrate, they’re launching a special one-week-only presale of the figure this Thursday, October 30th at 11AM PST. By placing a pre-order during this seven day period you will be guaranteed a Yeti figure and you will also receive a made-for-presale-only Yeti Ice Cave tee printed on black GAMA-GO men’s and women’s shirt-stock. If you order through Ningyoushi, you will get a Yeti Ice Cave shirt produced in a different colorway.

Produced in collaboration with Ningyoushi in an edition of 1000, this imposing vinyl figure stands 9.5″ high, features posable arms, a menacing scowl, removable light-up torch and comes packaged in a stellar peek-through ice cave box. The Yeti has been a 6-month labor of love for the GAMA-GO team, a journey that is chronicled on their blog and a four-part series for Vinyl Pulse. You can see unpainted protos and read all about the seedy underbelly of San Francisco’s SOMA. It’s definitely a page-scrolling Behind the Music kind of thing.

Figure is about 9.5″ to top of head, 11″ to tip of torch, and 8″ deep. The intricate box is 9″ x 9″ x 12.5″. On Thursday, you will be able to pre-order yours here for $90. I’m mostly a mini-figure collector, but occasionally a must-have chunk of big vinyl comes along–and this is one of them. I got a sneak peek of the Yeti at Double Punch a few weeks ago, and it really, truly rules. Stay tuned for more info and photos here at ToyCyte, including an opportunity to win your very own Big Vinyl Yeti courtesy of GAMA-GO!
