Designed by Foox and produced by ESC Toy, ORGAN DONORS is set to hit shelves by the second week of March. I personally think these are quite brill, a nice blend of form and purpose, with a touch of humor (the "Black Market Kidney is hilarious :p). Peep the product-stats:WHAT: ORGAN DONORS by FOOX [www]

QUESTION: Why Organ Donors?
ANSWER: ORGAN DONORS is a vinyl toy concept that I really fell in love with. The idea actually came to me when a member of my wife's family had to have a double lung transplant. He has had Cystic Fibrosis since the day he was born and he was lucky enough to get a set of lungs from an Iron Man athlete. Someone's lungs helped this family member to live longer than ever expected. It was practically a miracle! This miracle was the seed for the ORGAN DONORS by FOOX vinyl toy series.
QUESTION: How long has this project been developing until now?
ANSWER: We have been working on this project for a year- we've gone through the entire process from sketches to 3-D vinyls so we want everyone to see them!
(cheers for the headsup, Jessica!)
