Mind Blown: Mk2 Clear Vision Custom Mini Munny by Cris Rose
UK-artist / toy-customizer Cris Rose offers folks on his newsletter his first "FIRESALE", which featured an opportunity to snag a one-off custom Mini Munny on a first come, first serve basis! The 1-of-1 Edition "Mind Blown" - Mk2 Clear VisionResin + Vinyl Mini Munny is priced at US$170 per (+ shipping).
Interested folks were to email him back at crisrose [at] gmail.com (I've not had the chance to check with Cris is this is still available, as the news popped in when I was in heavy slumber :p). Regardless, give it a try if you're interested, and CLICK THRU for more snaps, along with a backstory of Mind Blown!
BACKSTORY: "Sporting the largest and brightest optical array in the company's history, Clear Vision Mk2 was a serious technical challenge. During many of the prototype's field tests, sudden increases in light levels would cause a massive feedback loop in the image buffers. The call would come in "We've had another mind blown here guys, time to start over". It would be back to the drawing board, while the unit smoldered in the test area.
The problem was eventually traced to a combination of programming fault and temperature sensitive elements placed too close to the heat exchanger - but from then on, all significant design flaws received the designation "Mind Blown", regardless of the project or fault."
