scapegoat billy (and blamee) by jure gavran
"Until recently, the act of blaming others for one’s mistakes has been faceless and anonymous, but to everyone’s surprise this very act has decided to take form and come out to show his ugly face. He goes by the name of SCAPEGOAT BILLY and his sole purpose is to inflict discriminatory blame on the innocent..."
Scapegoat Billy [www.blamingu.com] is a spanking new toy created by San Francisco-based graphic designer Jure Gavran - who has generously provided us with oddles of pics (included WIP / PEEP). What really caught my eye was the translucent-quality of Billy's belly, which reveals a Blamee within his guts! Pretty neat materials and toy-technology at work here, IMHO. Will be looking forward to actual product pics in time to come :)
Conceptualized and designed with a satirical perspective on modern scapegoating in modern society (would be cool if he had a blade for back-stabbing, but that may be too extreme, no?) - BILLY stands 8" tall while the petit BLAMEE is 3". With tooling by Threezero and to be distributed by DKE Toys - only 250-pcs of 2 colorways will be produced, for IMMIGRANT BILLY and URBAN CRIMINAL BILLY (drop-date and prices yet to be determined). Meanwhile, CLICK THRU to have a closer look at Scapegoat Billy and Blamee, and the continuation of their "story" :)
[CLAY Balmee above / CLAY Billy below]
Billy thrives off his victim’s sorrow and helplessness, which is why he uses his semi-transparent belly. The belly is used to trap and display the vulnerable Blamees. Once the Blamees are securely trapped in the belly, Billy transforms his appearance to label, subjugate, and ultimately blame his victims. So be careful, he might want to blame U next.
