The Full Reveal of Sai Kang Warriors from Daniel Yu
If you've read the *I LIKE TOYS* fanzine featuring the Artist Feature of local customizer Daniel Yu, you would have recognized the various Playmobil-customs showcased - and today we reveal them in full online! Presenting the SAI KANG WARRIORS!
"This series of 5 are all made from heavily modified playmobil figures. The term "sai kang", translated from chinese dialect, refers to an unpleasant and undesirable task; or in more literal terms, a shit job. This series seeks to place emphasis on the everyday blue collar worker. The blank, vacant look on each one is reflective of how society views such labourers - without an identity." ~explained Daniel
BONUS: WIP
"I wanted to create a sense of individuality for each of the characters, a reminder that the people behind these jobs are integral towards the functioning of our social structure." ~mentioned Daniel.
Each figure stands approximately 3 inches tall, and was sculpted using epoxy putty and painted with acrylics. Check out more of Daniel's work on his blog @ http://doryphunk.blogspot.com, which includes work-in-progress sculpts!
