Shultzo Creates Compatiballs

I’m fond of how Shultzo approaches his creations. Instead of calling them figures or statues, he calls his work 3D art. Although the term makes me feel like I should don a pair of paper 3D glasses, you won’t need any special gear to enjoy his genius. What does Shultzo do to upgrade his art from 2D to 3D? These pieces “were modeled on a computer and then 3D printed in plastic or metal, and finished with chrome plating or even car paint.” You can check out some of his spendy new works, like chrome plated plastic “Skier: and super sleek chrome plated “Baby” here. If you can’t afford the one of a kind pieces, you can hopefully spare seventy five bucks (well actually $74.99, every penny counts ‘eh?) for the Compatiballs- Tigerball or Froggyball (limited edition of 250 each). These figures consist of two interlocking pieces that join together to make the Compatiball (the image in the middle) You can pick up your own at Toy Tokyo.
