Previously teased in various stages of online exposure with zero details, Jermaine Rogers' "My Brother Was A Hero" figure by Kidrobt drops May 29th, and coinciding with that, is a Toy Release & Signing Party @ Insomnia Video Game Culture (724 W 19th St., Houston, Texas 77008) on Thursday, May 29 (at 7:00pm - 9:00pm in CDT), where vinyl figure, exclusive print, and official Kidrobot apparel will be made available. With the "bear" (Creeping / Dero) and the rabbit (Choices / Aleppin Sane) introduced into wild, time now for this raccoon critter to join in the fray!
The 8" tall figure comes in two colorways: Standard BROWN an a "chase" BLACK. Neither quantities nor price revealed as yet.
I will attempt to update official product pics when they are revealed, meanwhile here are some teasers to gawk at, along with "official product text":

TEXT FROM THE PACKAGE: "This place...these ancient woods that surround you: they belong to us. The trees that loom about you, silently granting you shelter and sustenance. The solitary, sun-spotted clearings where you filled the days of your youth with horseplay and dreaming. The cool streams snaking through this fertile landscape, where you quenched your thirst and bathed your body. It is outs. A sacred birthright."
"And it is worth any sacrifice."
"Live Suspiciously."
