Walrus Riders (Teal & Black) by Alex Pardee x UpperPlayground
PRESS: To celebrate it’s 10th Anniversary, Upper Playground has teamed up with several artists to create vinyl figures commemorating the event. The first in the series, Alex Pardee has created the Walrus Rider, a two-faced creature, whose legs were stolen, seeking vengeance and searching for his legs atop his walrus associate. The figure is approximately 11″ tall and has bendy arms and a removable tusk, which fits into the rider’s hand. [via UP / Walrus-Rider tagged-on-TRE]

Alex Pardee mentions on his blog: "I am proud to announce that my very first original vinyl collectible toy is now officially available for pre-sale over at TheLOYALsubjects' website !!! The final toy, which i designed for Upper PLayground to celebrate their 10th anniversary, is insane and I worked extremely close with the sculptors and painters to get it as close to a perfect recreation of my imagination as possible. Bendable arms, removable "tusk-sword", and standing almost 10" Tall, and it looks rad in the package! I am really proud and excited that this will be released JUNE 14th!"

Born with legs of a golden tint,
He'd walk, he'd run, he'd jump and sprint.
There's nothing much he COULDN'T do,
With legs of gold and wooden shoes
The girls all loved his limbs and knees,
For no one else had legs like these,
But jealousy arose with some,
Cause' HE was having all the fun!
So late one night upon his slumber,
Darkness drenched with rain and thunder.
There he slept and dreamt of blondes,
But when he woke HIS LEGS WERE GONE!
Who would do this tragic thing?
What good is a bee if a bee cannot sting?
And what good is HE without legs at all?
Now he cannot move and he's not that tall!
So he hopped on the back of his bestest friend,
And together they ride as he seeks his REVENGE!
Word.
