AFRICAN COFFIN DANCE ("Ghana's Dancing Pallbearers") Miniature Sets from JMG 1/64 Miniatures
If you've been following your online memes recently, you might have been aware of the "Ghana's Dancing Pallbearers", which has seen a myriad of moving images mixed with EDM dance track - which you can see at the bottom of this post, along with 'legitamite' news from BBC News Africa, dated "July 2017" ... now that that's out of the way, you would have also seen a number of toys showcasing the meme, including the above faux-LEGO mini figures (THIS "Animal Crossing"-Crossover is not a toy ... yet) ... but the following apparently IS REAL, with pre-orders ending April 24th too!
From JMG 1/64 Miniatures comes mini figure sets, currently available for online pre-orders here, with two sets currently available, which I am assuming is "1/64th-scaled"...?
Featured above is the AFRICAN SEVEN COFFIN DANCE Set (Priced at US$49.00 / approx. SG$70.08) ... while showcased below is the AFRICAN FIVE COFFIN DANCE Set (US$40.00 / approx. SG$57.21). other prices exclude (international) shipping, and has a "end-of-May" arrival date stated. The description also says "The coffin can be separated".
The coffin lid can be opened!
"Topical" or "bad taste", it is not for me to judge - it is however, a sign of what possibilities the times can afford us these days, and the borderless blending and appropriation of what is considered "public domain". Stay connected to the artist's Facebook-page, for more than just this offering.
