Fools Paradise Unveils “Hungry in a Nightmare” — A Twisted Take on Cartoon Nostalgia!

Fools Paradise is back at it with another mind-bending release... and this one is equal parts nostalgic and nightmarish. “Hungry in a Nightmare” takes a familiar childhood icon — the cheerful, gloved, red-shorted character we all grew up with — and sends him spiraling into surreal distortion.

Standing proudly (and a little unsettlingly), this figure bends reality with exaggerated proportions — the bulbous eyes, drooping mouth, and melted grin perfectly capture that weird dream-state energy Fools Paradise does so well. There’s a glossy polish to the vinyl finish that makes it pop, and from every angle, you can feel the blend of innocence and eerie unease. Produced under the Ninebirds by Fools Paradise line, this piece feels like it stepped straight out of a fever dream about vintage cartoons gone slightly wrong. It’s playful, it’s haunting, and it’s absolutely unforgettable.

Standing 240mm(9.4" tall) and retailing for $168(including free shipping), this exclusive art figure captures the fine line between nostalgia and nightmare... a love letter to classic animation through the lens of modern pop-surrealism. Available now via pre-order - shipping March 2026 - through Fools Paradise and Exclusive Life, this is one you don’t want slipping into the void before it’s gone for good.
