Treeson and Friends

Our flickr spies spotted this today, the prototypes for some of the new figures for the upcoming mini series ‘Treeson and Other Stories’ by Bubi Au Yeung and produced by Crazy Label.
These are looking really nice and should look great next to the rest of the Treeson range, click the image for a bigger pic and a clearer view of all the subtle sculpted details!

ALEX PARDEE x UPPER PLAYGROUND – Walrus Figure

Alex Pardee and Upper Playground have teamed up to create a Walrus figure set for release in early February. The figure features Alex Pardee’s signature characters, along with his interpretation of the Upper Playground Walrus.

The vinyl figure is in its early stages of development.  One of the first steps in the creation of a figure is a wax rendering and pictures of one of the early prototypes, along with Pardee’s notes are attached.

Can’t wait to see further progress on Upper Playgrounds iconic walrus character, stay tuned for further upades :]
