blue and gold aiko rabbit vinyls by aiko nakagawa x kidrobot
"Too hip for chocolate, too fresh for Alice; Aiko Rabbit is not satisfied with simply being a stencil brought to life. With his removable spray can, this bunny is ready to return the favor. Designed by Aiko Nakagawa, co-founder of NYC collective FAILE, the iconic vinyl rabbit comes in your choice of blue or gold color ways. Just 750 of each will be produced, retailing for US$39.95" [via] ... scheduled for a March 13th-drop, there is currently no indication of the actual size of the figure.
i reckon, maybe tis in the product depiction, or lack of visible details of the figure from the faint photography, but the Aiko Rabbit frankly, pales radically in comparison with Aiko's own stencil artwork of the bunnies [pics via/via] - which of coz arguably speaking, you could do a little paint-over on your own, when you have the vinyl-rabbit in hand, yeh? (using darker tones to seep into the textured crevices) ... but that's not the point, is it? ... a pity, really, becoz this could've been a pretty interesting figure (ie: 3D-vinylization of 2D-stenciled art), other than looking like a baby's shampoo bottle right now, IMHO. your thoughts?
