"ANGRY WOOD DOLL & SLEEPING CRICKET" from FMC-Funny Model Club
BANQ from Thailand-based FMC-Funny Model Club (IG @fmc.funnymodelclub) shares with us images & info for their latest creation; "ANGRY WOOD DOLL & SLEEPING CRICKET", with pre-orders (launched only Monday June 29) since SOLD OUT of its 100pcs within a minute! Congratulations!
Instead, this blogpost will achieve images and product info, and also let folks now that TWO pieces will be made available as GIVEAWAYS, which you can partake of in on their Facebook + Instagram.
Price for the 32cm tall resin figure was US$256 / 7900 THB (price exclude shipment), with a designated "Q4/2020" release date. As of this post, the toy-makers have since announced that they would be doing another version, this time with a wood nose and "donkey ears" too!
If you haven't cotton on to the intense caricatured-likeness of the figure - the genesis for which is a very personal commentary - for which I've posted in full the all-caps text I had received in my email from the artist;
"THE MAN AND INSPIRATION: THIS PIECE IS THAILAND PRESIDENT PRAYUTH CHAN O CHA DUE TO HIS QUITE A QUESTIONING PERSONALITIES AND EVERYTHING IN THE LAST 8 YEAR FOR HIM TO OWN THE POSITION WE DECIDE TO MAKE THIS DESIGNER TOYS TO BE ONE OF A NUMEROUS WAY TO HAVE FREE SPEECH ABOUT POLITICS IN THAILAND AND TO ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO TALK AND GET BACK THEIR FREEDOM TO SPEAK UP.
BUT THE TRUTH IS IT'S JUST OUR SENSE OF HUMOR THAT DRIVE US TO SCULPT THIS PIECE THOUGH LMAO THE SITUATION RIGHT NOW IS QUTIE STRESSFUL ALREADY SO WE THINK OF SOMETHING THAT CAN MAKE PEOPLE (AT LEAST THAI PEOPLE) LAUGHING OR SMILE WHEN THEY SEE IT THAT HOW THIS PIECE HAD BORN."
