PICASSO by Eric So - Mascot for #ToySoul2016


One of all-time toy-designer heroes since the ā€œUrban Vinylā€ days, Eric So has designed the character mascot for Toy Soul 2016 (Dec 16-18), with PICASSO - the frizzy-blue-haired dude rocking stripped boxers haha ... and he's a "baldy" underneath the wig too!


The previous two yearsā€™ mascot had been Prodip Leungā€™s Keifer in 2014, and Michael Lauā€™s ā€œSOUL STUFFā€ from 2015.

Iā€™m adding in a video from JET Magazine, where they interview Eric So about ā€œTOYSā€ (In Cantonese tho, with no English subs), which perhaps gives some insight into his creation of ā€œPicassoā€ (Creating ā€œtoysā€ to ā€œplayā€, not creating a ā€œcharacter toyā€? Hey, my Canto sucks, okay? LOL).
