Shin and Nao have collaborated on the first in a series of Artist Edition "Dankeschoen" bears designed exclusively for
MAQET... who by the way are starting to really embrace the designer toy culture and this figure is one of many others involved in this! What makes this unique is the process as these are created via 3D printing and infused with Plastin®, a powder like substance that uses no waste and combines plastic and porcelain! Above is Patchwork version of this bear and it will be available starting TODAY, August 4th in a limited edition of 25 pieces. Each one stands 4.5" tall and can be picked up
HERE for only $50 each. Oh, and is Patchwork not your style, you can design your own bear... kinda like a digital DIY over on
MAQET.com.
