THE THING: PDS AITSU HEAD from PUNKDRUNKERS X Unbox Industries
Introducing "THE THING: PDS AITSU HEAD" from PUNKDRUNKERS X Unbox Industries, with this licensed interpretation of John Carpenter's 1982 classic horror feature film recently launched and revealed at DesignerCon AND Taipei Toy Festival, now ready for online purchase here this Saturday November 22nd!
Sized (approx) 20cm X 28cm, this INJECTION ABS & VINYL collectible figure will be priced US$200 per (exclude shipping).
I am truly appreciate that Unbox is pushing "media in pop culture" beyond their usual legacy, and melds+crosses over with the art toy realms and aesthetics, and honestly that gives collectors of media a whole new "world" of options, as well expands said art toy culture beyond, IMHO.
THE THING: PDS AITSU HEAD
An officially licensed collaboration inspired by John Carpenter’s legendary sci-fi horror masterpiece The Thing, this figure reimagines the iconic “Norris spider-head” transformation through the unmistakable lens of PUNK DRUNKERS. Equal parts grotesque, stylish, and absurd, the PDS Aitsu Head brings cult-cinema terror into the world of PUNK DRUNKERS!
A perfect fusion of horror nostalgia and alternative toy art, the ultimate evolution of Aitsu that nobody asked for, but everyone needs.
If you've not watched the film, nor am familiar with the reference, this is a SPOILER-FUELD reveal sequence to aid in your path to toy-enlightenment, cheers.
