Fools Paradise's "Super Professional (ORIGIN)" Available Now!

Artist Alan Ng, and his Fools Paradise brand, is back at it with his designer toy renditions using characters inspired by the film Léon: The Professional remade in the cartoonish likeness of Super Mario Bros. Titled "Super Professional (ORIGIN)" is the 18th Anniversary limited edition, and this beautiful work depicts Natalie Portman's 12-year-old character "Mathilda" from the film but carrying the Nintendo game's Bullet Bill in one hand and ghostly Boo in the other as well as her 'unofficially adopted father', Jean Reno's "Léon" character, a professional hitman who wields a gun with Bullet Bill attached to the end as well as carrying a Little Shop of Horrors-esqe Piranha Plant. A brilliant pop art parody, one that feels very fresh for using two "older" inspirations, this set stands roughly 13" at its tallest point, all the pieces made of out of vinyl and PVC plastic. Limited to a small edition, these are available to preorder now from the Fools Paradise online shop for $450 and are expected to ship Q1 of 2024!
