WILD MAXX by Michael Lau for {AR+OY} TAIPEI
Last featured as a sketch, now here's a look at Michael Lau's WILD MAXX (GARDENER 114) - to debut at the coming August 15th opening of {AR+OY} TAIPEI - since Michael Lau @ A9, Shin Kong Mitsukoshi, Xinyi District, Taipei (展覽在新光三越, 台北信義新天地A9館, 9/F宴會展演廳舉行). The figure looks no doubt articulated, and dons a patchwork-styled "fur" suit, featuring playful horns on hoodie, complete with crown. Interesting that Lau's characters have recently been seen in "costume" (cosplay?), the most recent being the 12" tall BBs.
Pre-orders will be available on-site, with items estimated to arrive 4th quarter 2014. No further product nor availability info for this "Where The Wild Things Are" mash-up with Lau's "MAXX" Gardener-character though … hopefully more details will emerge before the exhibition ends on September 1st, 2014
STORY: "WILDMAXX, 9 years old. Maxx at his naughty period. Being the only child, he always goes wonder at the park and imagines himself as an animal, calling himself the emperor of the “Beast Kingdom”."
