Little Trickers and Mao Cats by TOUMA x Play Imaginative
CLICK THRU for a closer-look at upcoming toys designed by TOUMA and Play Imaginative - set for a July/August 2009 launch - featuring duo Mao Cat-releases, and the blind-box mini figure series; Little Trickers!
Something interesting from Play Imaginative, as they take on production of TOUMA's previously released MAO CAT figure (example). Two designs will be featured: a SMILEY MAO CAT (Good Luck Version - which should go down real well in Asia) and the Black-flocked CHEEKY MAO CAT with out-stretched tongue (chinese vampire-zombie custom when I grab ahold of this figure LOL). Both figures stand 5 inches tall.
From the 3D-render, the Mao Cat seems very much articulated - I for one can't wait to see the full-reveal!
PRESS: Touma’s most famous characters bare their teeth in this all new complete mini series Little Trickers Series 1! See AniBalloon, Gan Gan, Hellhound, Bonga Konga and many others unleash their terror as 2.5” - 4” mini vinyls! Complete with crossovers and mystery figures, there are 16 Little Trickers in this series. Good news for Touma's collector - by buying a case of 16pcs allows you to form a full set of Little Trickers Series 1 without getting any repetition.
Scheduled for an August-release (hopefully in time for STGCC) - Do note that these are not the final images as they are currently undergoing revision. Do stay tuned for updated reveals :)
It has been over a year since Little Trickers was first announced [first post] and seems quite a substantial evolution (at least in terms of design) can be visually seen - with the above a closer-look at the "newer" skin-designs (featuring a chase by Joe Ledbetter!) and the below posting of designs last seen in March 2008.
