Jouwe the Rhant

We see a lot of vinyl toys produced by the US, Hong Kong, and Japan. We don’t hear a lot from other countries, but that is slowly changing. If I’m not mistaken, Jouwe the Rhant may be the first vinyl toy to come out of Indonesia. Jouwe is being produced by a new company My Tummytoys Co. Marine Ramdhani developed the idea and concept, and Dira Suherman made the sculpt. The 2D Design and Layout is by Rushhead. The Jouwe prototype stands at 25 cm (almost 10″) tall.

Marine Ramdhani explains the story behind Jouwe:

Jouwe is a Rhino with ant head shape, so Jouwe is A Hybrid Rhino, I usually mention he’s a “Rhant” and he always say “JOUWE LOVE YOU” and wanna spread Love and peace in the whole world…

I love bizarre creatures like the Rhant. The overall shape looks great, and the pot belly is a cute touch.  It’s exciting to see a new vinyl figure, and ToyCyte will keep you updated on their progress. Their website is still being developed, but you can check it out here. To see more pictures of the prototype, visit this link. You can also visit the Jouwe team on Myspace.

I'm a nerd who loves music, movies, graphic novels, and of course toys. I grew up in Los Angeles, and I currently live in the non-plastic part of Orange County. I'm a sucker for anything that is little and cute: plushies, Dunnys, Smorkin' Labbits, zipper pulls. My collection is dominated by Kozik and Uglydolls, and my latest obsession is IWG/Rocket World.
