G-DRAGON Art Toy Collectibles
With the release of his album "Ãœbermensch" (Full Album Listen HERE), I'd thought to showcase a trio of collectible art toy figures inspired by South Korea leader of BIGBANG and soloist G-Dragon!
The first two makes are based off GD's styling seen in his MAMA 2024 stage performance (in video embed above / starting 2:46 mark)! Even after repeated viewing, I still get emotional seeing BigBang perform together again ... anyways, back to the TOYS...! :)
From "Duck Toys" comes a straight-up riff off G-Dragon in a product titled "G-Dragon 2024 MAMA Awards Ver.". Listed as a 36cm tall PVC+ABS-make, with a ETA of "09/2025" (via orzgk.com), for which I can only advise y'all to also check in with your fav retailer(s) for availability where you are at. Certainly hope the resulting finished figure'll look as good as these renders tho, cheers.
SEOUL based freelance illustrator / figure artist / painter / NFTartist 林必榮 AKA DUCKHEAD adapts the guise of the performer on his BREAMMAN character, with no indication if the figure was available as multiples, or just a single hand-painted resin-made homage. The sculpted details are amazing for this indie-self produced resin, IMHO!
Seek availability via instagram.com/duckhead and/or facebook.com/duckhead.kr :)
The third and final collectible is "MINI:GD" by https://www.instagram.com/minishistudios/, with this 6-inch tall VINYL figure released in February 2024! Currently available online here for $134, limited to 300pcs. Coming in with authenticity card, artist's signature and unique numbering. I had the chance to see it in person (but alas none too close enough :p) at the recent Culture Cartel, cheers.
The aesthetics were inspired by GD's fashion label "PEACEMINUSONE" in collaboration with NIKE's Air Force 1 Low and Travis Scott, circa 2020, and was even bootlegged as a collectible figure too (A googled search yielded multiple listings of said bootleg-figure too). The irony is thick LOL
