Assassins & Big Foots by Imaginism Studios
From MINDstyle's newly relaunched + redesigned website comes a sweet look at upcoming toys from Imaginism Studios-artists - beginning with the above-posted femme fatale in green; ASSASSIN by Kei Acedera, who makes the transition from digital art to vinyl in this 8 inch tall dangerous beauty. Limited to 200 pieces worldwide (Original Version) the website states a SRP of US$80 with a May 2009-release date (TBC). CLICK THRU FOR MORE.
We next transit from cherry blossoms to the forests of lore with Bobby Chiu's BIG FOOT! Scheduled for a summer launch, I reckon (the white-flocked?) Big Foot will come dragging it's wee wittle petrified bunny wabbit along for the ride ("Snack-on-the-go"? :p). Currently no production stats for Big Foot (Will update when they are revealed). Meanwhile - CLICK THRU to see the original 2007-drawing from Bobby and more about Assassin!
Bobby writes on his deviantART: "...I did this initially as a demo for my digital painting class on SCHOOLISM .... but after looking at it for a while I thought Big Foot looked lonely so I put in a little buddy for him. Anyhow it's a painting about love and friendship :)"
Transcribed-Product-Text for ASSASSIN:
"Sexy samurai assassin in a green dress and Katana sword. The artist, Kei Acedera specializes in concept art, visual development and character design for film and television. Her illustrations and paintings have so much charm and borad-based appeal, they never fail to bring a smile. The assassin is approximately 8 inches sitting down and is constructed of roto-vinyl and pvc parts. Fantastic attention to detail in a sexy yet deadly pose. Comes packaged in a special gift box with collectors card."
