My new toy is a 8″ hand-cast & painted resin figure, character based on my paper diorama ‘Aotearoa’, first release will be ALL WHITE EDITION, limited to 20 figures world-wide! It will be at Santos from June 1st, online orders to follow later in June! :-)

p.s. I know white toy don’t make sense to many people, especially toy collectors, usually white toys are blanks, but Maori Warrior is painted white intentionally. In the past few weeks of working & looking at maori warrior, personally think it look nice as it is unpainted, shape and details showed up pretty well, besides all features has been sculpted, so I decided to let light and shadow do their work on this one(natural lighting condition will do).

spent the morning working on the upcoming toy packaging, trying to have a hand made feeling to it, so i made my hi-tech woodblock, enjoyed my time doing some old fashion print making, packaging is done! :-)

check back soon for Maori Warrior release info….

p.s. little reminder on nakanari’s spiki show, may 30th, 2-6pm at the Urban Outfitters in the Millennia Mall in Orlando, Florida.
