ANATOMY OF WANANEKO by Javier Jimenez (for Sept 26 Pre-order)
Since my earlier feature, Javier Jimenez has complete his painting of his ANATOMY OF WANANEKO 3D-sculpt and it looks GLORIOUS!
First appeared as a 2D-illustration print & printed on tees, the current incarnation of "Anatomy of Wananeko" is hand-painted on resin figure, with pre-orders getting a signed print and a trading card! Featured below is a look at some of the details apart of the sculpt, followed by product & availability details!
"Those who've been around long enough will remember the classic print I released back in 2014 when Wananeko was first released as a resin figure in a show in Tokyo. It later became a t-shirt, and for the longest I wished it could be made into a toy. I never gave up on the idea but for some reason didn't know how to do it, or was too busy with other stuff. Recently I realised that the best way to present this toy was as a classic anatomy model. Today I'm showing you how it came out, and I will start taking limited pre-orders on Sunday 26th at 11AM EST (17 Spanish time)."
"Based on the classic "Anatomy of Wananeko" print that was inspired by the works of Shigeru Mizuki, here comes a new toy that shows what's inside of the yokai cat Wananeko!"
Character design by Javier Jiménez.
Sculpt by Andrea Calleja.
