"Obadiah Marsh" - Custom Koibito Run by Doktor A (For July 30 Release)
Bruce Whistlecraft AKA DOKTOR A share with us a build which he considers "the most complex custom art toy edition I have ever undertaken.". ... Introducing "Obadiah Marsh" -Abhorrent Piscine Denizen of the Deep-!
TOY STORY: "A tailor by trade, Obadiah found he had an affinity with the sea. His small personal fortune was spent on many small alterations which over time helped him move with greater ease though the oceans of the world. His new styling and tedious obsession however made him unpopular at dinner parties and he soon found himself without friends. He found new friends at the travelling circus and decided to join their ranks."
Sized 6-inches tall (with limited articulation), "Obadiah Marsh" took over two years in the creation, utilising a "Koibito" vinyl toy originally designed by Yoskay Yamamoto and produced by Munky King, and in turn is based on an original custom art toy from 2009.
Featuring cast polyurethane parts, real metal winding key and gemstone tie-pin - each figure is hand assembled, finished and painted by Doktor A. This emerald green version is limited to only 10 pieces, each signed, dated and numbered under the tail. As well each figure comes packaged in a foam lined presentation box with a signed certificate of authenticity.
Each figure is priced at £350, with release since scheduled to be at 6pm (UK time) on Friday the 30th of July, online via mechtorians.bigcartel.com. Updates via the good Doktor's socials: Instagram / Twitter / Ello.
