I find nothing 'cute' about the glorification of Nazism.
ReplyDeleteis not a glorification of anithing, if someone make a toy with the face of mao no one say anithing...
ReplyDeletethis is only a satiric character , 1st of a serie, and the choise of the nazist stile (without nazi simbol) is only for represent in ironic mode the greed, the megalomania of this rabbit, is not political or anithing else I'm Italian quite boy not a naziskin :)
the next in this serie probably was a bear comunist, and i'm not comunist too like I'm not Nazist
I snot glorification of nazism =.= is a light blu bunny with a lollipop on his belt =.=
ReplyDeleteI find it cute :)
Hi I`m a toydesigner from germany. Hmm, I look on it with mixed emotions. The bunny looks to me a bit too much like a hitlerbunny, but this maybe my own impressions.
ReplyDeleteof course, it's based on that appearance but it dosn't glorify it, it's not something politicized, I think it's a ridiculous character
ReplyDeleteI think Adolfy is a great parody of a famous person. Like it or not, Hitler should be made fun of. I like the comedy aspect of the whole piece. Look at Kozik's bust series, Barry the Beaver, and Coop's sculpts. Art is suposed to upset some people and intrigue others. If this caught your eye, Onibaka did his job! The sculpt is cool. I gettin' one for sure!
