More news on that Kidrobot Black x Ron English figure... "America Depress"

Kidrobot Black has just updated their site... and per our post last month HERE, we are seeing a whole new angle to the next sculpture in their 'Black' line... oh, and we have much more info to go off now!!! Pop-artist Ron English brings a new 2D painting to life with his upcoming KR Black figure titled "America Depress", and according to the site, this massive piece of vinyl will be 12" tall, limited to 200 pieces worldwide, and will carry a $400 price tag! Oh, and just like we assumed, the piece will feature Mickey Mouse "Crucified" on a credit card... just like his OG painting... and all we have to go by is that very cryptic silhouette above. KR goes on to explain:

"Pop iconoclast Ron English presents the ultimate black vinyl fetish item – American Depress. A three dimensional depiction of America's Bloated Billionaire Mouse Messiah is crucified upon the mousetrap status symbol of American capitalism: the Black Card. The over-stuffed mouse is splayed on a 12-inch tall sheet of black ABS, embellished with gold printing. The card numbers reference the beginning of the royal rodent’s reign, and, a very short time after, the darkest hour in the history of the American economy. From there both iconic rodent and consumer grow to obesity until the card’s expiration date - the day of the foretold apocalypse. Fitted with an indent on the back, this modern relic is built to be hung over all we devour."

So now that we know all of this info... the only thing we don't really know is what this looks like. I personally can tell you though... I have seen the piece, and it's really impressive! This is going to be much more sculptural then the rest of the KR Black line-up so far... and do remember that Kidrobot New York will be hosting semi-private event on May 29th, 2012... and seeing as this is just a few weeks away, expect the full reveal with more info soon!
