THE USUAL SUSPECTS on Kickstarter (for Dec 7 Launch)
Joshua Wang shares with us "THE USUAL SUSPECTS", with this quartet of character figures scheduled for a Kickstarter launch HERE, starting December 7th! Duration of the campaign is 40 days, with super early bird rewards (up to 52% discount) that last for 7 days at the start of the campaign. Here is a closer look at the individual figures, and an introduction to their work...
WHO WAS INVOLVED: "The conceptualisation of the toys came within the ‘Usual Suspects’ team. We did our 2D sketch using pencils, paper and refined it using a software in iPad. It was then exported to our 3D artist whom turned it into a 3D STL file which was required by our manufacturing factory in Guangzhou to print a 3D sample."
DIMENSIONS & MATERIAL: "All of the toys are 6.3 inches in height and are made of PVC. We are in the midst of refining the visor, which proved to be a challenge - especially for ‘Suspect Dino’ as it needs to work seamlessly with the structure of the head."
EARLY BIRD PRICE (Kickstarter): US$90 for each model.
ORIGINAL PRICE (Kickstarter):
'Suspect 01': US$169 (Kickstarter @ US$135)
'Suspect Skull': US$129 (Kickstarter @ US$103)
'Suspect Mask': US$149 (Kickstarter @ US$119)
'Suspect Dino': US$189 (Kickstarter @ US$151)
"The inspiration of the toys came from the year 2020. We can all agree that 2020 has been pretty rough for all of us around the world. Since the start of the year, we have heard news of homes being destroyed, separation between loved ones, losing those who we hold dear to our hearts, fighting for our voices to be heard, some are struggling to make ends meet and many are adapting to their lifestyles.
Truth to be told, we all walk many different paths in life and we each have a story to tell. Here at Usual Suspects, we believe everyone has a voice and even when things fall apart, there is always a new day, a new chapter for us to start again. And the toy we create will be the voice that individuals can resonate with. We believe in 'loving what you do, doing what you love', we love crafting toys and aim to make the world a better place.
Every toy is a metaphor of what our world looks like today."
