(SIR) MUGI TEAWORTHY (Shiba Inu Mechtorian) by Doctor A X Lowbrowee Toys
TOYNEWS SUBMISSION: Introducing a new sofubi designed by Doktor A and produced by Lowbrowee Toys, the theme for which caught me totally by surprise: A steampunk'd Shibu-Inu! Welcome "(Sir) Mugi Teaworthy"to toy-consciousness! First, let's talk TOYS:
Sized 6 inches tall X 8 inches long, this "grey mint" colorway edition is n a run of only 20pcs, each US$80 plus shipping and handling.
An online release is scheduled for Saturday March 16, 2024 at 5pm GMT (10am west coast) via www.mugiart.shop. Stay connected to Instas @doktor_a + @lowbrowee + @mugi_artlv for updates!
This Shiba Inu giant doggo robot Mechtorian is the first of its kind to be made in Japanese soft vinyl. Not at all menacing, he is actually a playful charmer (as the play pose suggests) and a snappy dresser, with his three interchangeable hats – topper, bowler, fez - one for each mood. With his tail carried high-up to reveal a fine behind, he is about 6 inches tall and 8 inches long.
This first colorway (grey mint) brings to mind Lady Liberty and pocket George Washington portrait prints, but is mostly inspired by the interior design of Fortnum and Mason – his favorite London spot for afternoon tea. He likes cake and scones, by the way, but also crumpets. Sold in a poly bag with a header card designed by Doktor A, including a leaked secret blueprints for Teaworthy and his upgraded internal mechanisms.
This release is the culmination of a 2-year production process by Doktor A and Lowbrowee, with credits to Willy Kao (digital sculpt) and Science Patrol (wax and molds production).
Mugi Teaworthy is the first collectible produced as part of Mugi’s Circle of Art - Lowbrowee Toys’ personal project celebrating his furry buddy, Mugi the Shiba Inu, through artwork by his favorite toy makers and pop-surrealists. More on the curation of this “pup-surrealism” collection and the production of this toy can be found here.
