"Blankie" Series 1 - A new vinyl mini-figure line from Brooklyn based Aarting!


Artist and designer Patricio Oliver has been super busy lately, not only designing his own figures but laying down some designs on platform toys... in fact he was picked along with a handful of other artists for an up-n-coming mini series called "Blankie" which stands 3.5" tall and is going to be produced by www.aarting.com, an new company based out of Brooklyn, New York! Now this is the first series which was voted on by all their piers... and out of 190 designs, they only picked 11 and PO! was one of the lucky few along with designs by Matucha, Menilla, Stor Dubine, PO!, Igor Ventura, Chupa&cabra, Atomic1970, Cvele, Miss Shelby, Jaoc, Jec and McCoy. PO! says that his design (left) "Samuel Secret Vamp is the first character from the Horror Forest to manifest on the vinyl world. He is a secret agent working for Child of the Night, who seeks to discover all secrets of the Pentacle Village." This character works well on the little figure, in fact most of the designs in series 1 are very strong. For more info and images from this series hit up the Aarting forum HERE and follow the process of this vinyl figure from concept to completion!

Nakanari x Kuso Vinyl "Spiki Chiisai" prototpe images


Nakanari just passed over some exciting news about a new figure line that he is releasing as a co-branded Maihiro x Kuso Vinyl figure. This project being called "Spiki Chiisai" is going to bring Nakanari's Spiki figure into the self-stated "dizzying world of blind-boxed minis", and how perfect because Chiisai translated into English means small! Above we are getting the first look at the proto of this figure which stands about 3.5" tall. Series 1 is slated to feature 15 or so artist designs. In addition expect a few store exclusives or brand exclusives. This should be very interesting to see how this goes, and I think it actually will be pulled off pretty well... but time will tell and I am sure more updates will follow in the near future!
