ORIGINAL POST BELOW:
Mighty Jaxx has “dropped” a couple teasers for their FIRST release planned for 2017 … are you prepared for “POPek”? Created by UK-based artist Whatshisname - “POPek” is inspired by Jeff Koons balloon art, and featured a red coloured balloon dog, taking a squat and dropping a balloon bag poopie!
Previous available as a 12cm tall resin figure from the artist himself,(and as well pre-orders for a larger 50cm sculpt), it remains to be determined how BIG the Mighty Jaxx-produced POPek will be … although judging from this balloon-bag in-hand picture, it looks to be a HUGE balloon dog??? (*Although it does not say in any way if this poopbag is part of the collectible from MJ teehee) ... OR would it be a series of “POPek”s in-action? In Different Colors? hhhmmmmm…
Stay tuned to Instagrams @himwhatshisname and @mightyjaxx for further updates and reveals!

"POPek – the squatting balloon dog statue stands proudly contrary to what is usual, while breaking common conventions of modern design."
