TOYSREVIL'S TIMH: MANDY by Kimgu x 9sadtoy
I had my very first experience with "Mandy x M.H.HOUSE " was in-hand at Ozzo Collection, where this single non-articulated 4-inch tall soft vinyl figure came housed in its own printed tin can.
Featuring a very simple sculpt of the monkey-like figure resembling a "peanut" it adores (two faux "peanuts" are also included in each set), on first look, I had thought its "hands" were "holding" unto something behind it's back, but in reality its hands are on the side of bodies, while a "heart" is behind, covering his bum (*which also looks cheekily like its monkey-bums lol) - which sorta made it "cuter" than what the actual "official reason" (featured below) is, IMHO.
"The original intention of designer Kimgu to design M.H.H. is to spread different messages by creating various characters. Hoping those fans will not only be attracted by the appearance of the characters, but also understand the meaning of the characters. The heart on the back is the burden of their soul."
"Mandy represents Friendship. When you are in trouble, confused, lonely and depressed, there will always be someone to support and stand by you. No cheating, no flattering and no comparing between friends. Treating people around you with sincerity. A sweet friendship refreshes the soul."Designed by Kimgu and produced by @9sadtoy, they are since listed as "Sold Out" on their own store, and you can seek availability via your own favs, or direct from Ozzo for SG$60.00 (SRP was US$55.00).
They have since released a second colorway: "Purple", released at the recent Summer Soul 2019 (seen above) and currently available here for US$60 (60pcs limited), with a third colorway: (Avocado) Green set to debut at Beijing Toy Show 2019 (August 16-18)!
