Nahualli by Wootini x Yahid Rodríguez
About 3 years ago, Wootini and Yahid "Serial Killer" Rodríguez stumbled upon each other on a message board, and started planning to create a miniature art figure series called the "NAHUALLI". After much anticipation and patience, the plan became a reality and is now available. [CLICK THRU for more pics and story]. Distributed by DKE Toys - SRP is US$9 per blind-box. Each case of Nahualli contains one rare figure or ultra rare figure.
The "Nahualli" according to Yahid is derived from an old tale told to Méxican children about creatures that made a pact with a demon called "Nahuales". While looking like normal people by day, the "Nahuales" could transform into various animals and cause mischief at night. This inspired a child to try to become a "Nahuale" when he 'grew up'.
"Nahualli is naughty by nature and drives his entire town crazy with his pranks! He uses his costumes to scare everyone around, committed to one day be known as the greatest Nahuale in history," says Yahid. "His friends don't know whether to be afraid or just laugh at him, but one thing is for sure, he strives to become a real Nahuale no matter the consequences."
