Super7 @ SDCC 09 reveals some D.I.Y. love!
SDCC 09 is right around the corner, and Super7 is set to release a ton of toy's on all the unsuspecting geeks that roam the halls of the convention center! Looks like these are just a few from what the teaser posted HERE/BELOW hinted at and this time around they are giving the artist in all of us a crack at their designs with a three pack of 4.5" blank DIY's! The three above are from Josh Herbolsheimer's titled "ROSE VAMPIRE", then the very familar "STEVEN THE BAT" from Bwana Spoons and last but not least is Le Merde's "HOLLIS". These bad boys are going to be on sale at the Super7 Booth #4729 for $50 which gets you all three!
A big special thanks to Jeremy from ARTkivers for the pic and info! "Super7 (Booth #4729) is bringing a bunch of exclusive vinyl down to SDCC this year. There will be things that glitter and things that glow. Call me a minimalist, but what I'm most excited about is the 3-pack of 4.5-inch blanks. If the concept of abstract, shapeless DIY toys is growing old to you, check out DIY versions of signature characters instead. Super7 made up blanks of Le Merde's Hollis, Bwana Spoons' Steven the Bat and Josh Herbolsheimer's Rose Vampire. In addition to the blank Hollis, Super7 will have painted pieces. If you dig the fig, keep this in the back of your head: there may be some further exciting versions on the horizon. Bwana's Steven has been retooled for the SDCC release. With several colorways of the original figure, it'll be interesting to see what people do with the blanks (sans drumsticks). Finally, Josh introduces Rose Vampire, a hybrid of two entities that draw blood. The figure is cleverly designed to be both cute and thorny. Note to customizers: each figure is made of hollow, Japanese vinyl with a pop-off head. The figures will be sold as a blank set of 3 for about $50. With the artists in attendance for the convention, you can get them all signed or customized for what you'd normally pay for a single production piece. Nice."
