WHAT'S NEW

SCAPEGOAT VINYL EXCLUSIVE

I was extremely fortunate to meet Jure Gavran(GREAT GUY), and I got a sneak peek at his vinyl figure called Scapegoat aka Scapegoat Billy! I am really looking forward to seeing more of this, and I hope this trip to SDCC was not in vain for Jure, because this figure is AMAZING, and I hope he is able to find a distributer to get this toy out. Now mind you these pics are prototypes(extremly tight), and the produced ones are going to have improvements such as leafblowers(you read that right)Sorry for the crap pics btw!

The figure stands about 8" tall and breaks apart in the middle revealing a lil glow in the dark figure(sorry I forgot the name, hopefully will update tomorrow with better info). Enjoy the pics and the bio at the bottom!






From Jure's site:
Since the beginning of time, people, groups, things and places have been blamed for things they didn't do. These unfortunate victims of unjust blame are known as scapegoats. Until recently, the act of blaming others for ones mistakes has been faceless and anonymous, but to everyone's surprise this very act has decided to take form and come out to show its ugly face. It goes by the name of Scapegoat Billy and its sole purpose is to inflict discriminatory blame on the innocent.

Billy thrives off its victim's sorrow and helplessness, which is why it uses its semi-transparent belly. The belly is used to trap and display the vulnerable Blamees. Once the Blamees are securely trapped in its belly, Billy transforms its appearance to label, subjugate and ultimately blame its victims. Scapegoat Billy's cold stare is a testament to its indifference and lack of moral values, but Billy is cunning and deceptively creative. It knows the power of good iconography, symbolism, color and graphics, which are all tools in its arsenal of deception and stereotyping. So be careful, it might want to blame U next.
