CLICK THRU for more pics and a quick chat I had with Adam, to find out what "tchoki-tchoki" actually means ...
TOYSREVIL: How did the concept of the character came about?
ADAM COMISKEY: pew36 is an animation studio on the south coast of England. The character was designed as response to several things ... I wanted to design a fun character for teaching animation principles and as the design developed I decided it would make an awesome toy.
TOYSREVIL: A bunch screaming rabbits are always fun! LOL ~ So which came first? The toy or the animation?
ADAM COMISKEY: The animation came first, we have a whole bunch of animation starring these little critters and they fight alot.
no animation stills just yet.
TOYSREVIL: Best of luck for the animation (do let us know when tis up and running, yeh?). And in closing ~ what does the word Tchoki-Tchoki actually mean?
ADAM COMISKEY: tchoki tchoki! is the pretend Chinese name for the English name which is Choking Hazard ... also, the little rabbits say tchoki tchoki! when they are killing each other.
TOYSREVIL: So are you guys planning to give the rabbits baseball bats or any such mayhem-making killing weapons in the next series? LOL
ADAM COMISKEY: Yes, bats, knives, chains, fruit, stationary and gardening tools are all designed and ready to manufacture once these have sold out.
*Keep your eyes peeled for cartoon based on these little rabbits and a new range of colorways coming soon.*
