Joe Ledbetter x Play Imaginative 'Chinese Zodiac MINI FIGURE SERIES' with release date

The time has finally come for the release announcement of Play Imaginative's new mini figure line designed in the awesomely iconic stylings of Joe Ledbetter... the Chinese Zodiac Mini Figure vinyl series! When first posted last December, we couldn't figure out why this hadn't been done before because it was such a great idea, and I love how Joe put his own spin on the entire series of Zodiac creatures including Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog, Pig, Rat, Ox, and Tiger... which by the way all are going to be window boxed so you don't have to jump through hoops to find the one you like! They range in size from 3"-4.5" tall, with a retail price of $15 a pop and a release date for June/July 2011... I guarantee these are going to be a hit not only with the Chinese culture, but with vinyl collectors alike, and I don;t even really collect mini-figure at all anymore but I would love the entire series of these! Hit the jump to see all these figure close up!
