king kun by james jarvis x bounty hunter
UPDATED 02.06: "To celebrate 10 years of making toys (beginning with Silas back in 1998) we joined up with our good friends at Bounty Hunter from Tokyo. We've known Taka and Hikaru for many years now. They helped us make our first ever toy at Silas, the infamous Martin figure." = Click Amostoy's blog-post to read the rest about the genesis of the creation of King Kun - and HERE for more product pics :)
UPDATE: BxH will sell their allocation from tomorrow, while Amos Toys will sell theirs later in the summer. There will be a few for sale at SDCC too! (cheers, Russell!) Currently neither price nor quantity are revealed.
"I think the next toy release is going to be the most exciting for quite a while. I've noted some speculation as to its precise nature, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to keep a lid on the bounty for a while yet." - said James Jarvis on the Amostoys-blog - in reference to the numerous online guesstimations from fans about his collaborations with a "mystery" artist/group (which at some point was even alluded to Michael Lau - which has since been debunked) for the upcoming 10th Anniversary of Amos Toys ... and then there came KING KUN! /// CLICK FOR MORE
A vinyl-melding of King Ken and Skull Kun - these images you see before you have been found been posted on the Bounty Hunter blog, and everyone braces themselves for further product details - no doubt with Amostoys Gold Members having first dips (or at least info). You could stake out Amostoys-blog and/or I'll update further info if and when I get them :) ... meanwhile here's a TRE-nonsensical theory about the "possible-inspiration" behind the creation of King Kun (it's a parody - pls don't sue my rump - thanks!)
