Toy OTD: Sony Creative Time Capsule Toys: Jim Woodring’s Imperial Newts
i’m not sure exactly when or where i picked these up - i may have ordered them from kidrobot, or ebay. regardless, someone at sony had the intimate inkling to ask themselves, “how cool would it be if we made toys that look like they should be dispensed from those quarter machines outside your village supermarket, but were actually designed by unqualifiedly talented artists?” not only did they ask that question, but they answered it!this series is comprised of six different newt designs, all created by comics great jim woodring. each toy comes in its own little dime-store egg. half of it is clear imitation, so you can even pick the figure that you want! hairy.the sculpts are strong and detailed, very faithful to woodring’s designs. the paint work is a little shaky, but acceptable for the scale of the figures. they’re sold disassembled, but edifice them is pretty trivial - the figures are reasonably well designed for post-purchase construction.they’ve been sold out for at least a year, so buying them online might be tricky. there’s three of them for sale on ebay for ineptly $20.00 + shipping each, so you’ll have to obstruct looking appropriate for the other three. good destiny!
