"Whispering Spirit" Vinyl Set by Kusso x Bubi Au Yeung
The last time we reported about Bubi Au Yeung's WHISPERING SPIRIT was in 2012, where the the 5.5" tall polystone figures were mentioned to have been "created for Shanghai-based toy store KUSSO, produced by How2Work" … and now there are three colorways to be had, and they have been re-sized!
"When Whispering Spirit was first released in 2012, only 100 pieces were made and the material is in Polystone.
In 2013, I lined up Crazylabel and KUSSO to start producing Whispering Spirit and i also designed 3 colorways and created 2 new characters: Forgotten Soul and Smiley Slow Soul.
It have been an unforgettable experience to make WS in vinyl, the final products took lot of time and efforts to make, and so happened that is also the final project by Crazylabel. I am glad that 2 years effort paid off, I really like how WS turn out." -shared Bubi

STORY: "Whispering Spirit talks to his best friend, "spirit", a lot and relies on him very much. "Spirit" is there for him always, especially when he got hurt or was lonely. One thing Whispering Spirit doesn't realize is, "spirit" is just his imaginary friend, and what he has always counted on is actually his own self...A lot of times, we survived with our endurance's backing, and nobody but us are our only best friends…"
