skate bat by kill your idol toys @ art basel miami
Supertouch was down at Art Basel and they scored a toy-scooper with the release of SKATE BAT by Kill Your Idols Toys [www] and manufactured by Gentle Giant - with the design based on (and in honor of) skatepunk artist Richard Sanchez's vintage B&W illustration - also released in tandem with a new art book titled: "Punk Is Dead, Punk Is Everything" (published by Gingko Press / what).
Supertouch reports: "...the 7” tall figure will be released in this original monochrome colorway in a ridiculously small run of FIVE pieces total starting Thursday, December 4th, while a second colorway will be released in a larger run in Spring 2009 at yet-to-be-announced retailers." - Both toy and artwork is currently on display at “Kill Your Idols” punk installation space @ 3852 N. Miami Ave in Miami’s Design District.
