After we
fully revealed the “
Roadkill” release designed by Designer Toy Award: Break-through Artist winner
twelveDot, we've been dying for this
Pobber Toys produced piece to be available. Well, the wait is over. Standing 9" tall by 7" wide by 11" long, this resin art multiple will be available to pre-order on February 25th, 2016 at 6am PST in
Pobber’s online shop for $200 a pop! Here’s a little background info on Pobber created Roadkill. "
We first came across Twelvedot’s work at ATC 2014 in Seoul. We were mesmerised by the clean lines and simplicity of his work and loved how he was using toys to spread a message of conservation for the tiny and often forgotten frogs. Fast forward to a couple of toy-cons later, we began planning for a piece together. Thus was born Roadkill - a menacing looking frog modelled with the look and feel of a car threatening lives on the road. Each year thousands of animals are killed on the roads. Even more staggering is the fact that up to 95% of all roadkill are the little ones, the amphibians which we seldom pay attention to. We knew we had to make a statement so here we go, presenting “Roadkill”, our attempt to bring awareness to ecological issues. Be safe on the roads, no life is too small."
So rad to hear about the figure being released, but that's not the end of the news... On April 8th,
FLABSLAB will host "
Roadkill: Safe Passage", the first custom show based on this new figure! 2016 is shaping up to be a rad year for both Pobber and TwelveDot... and we can't wait to see what the future holds!
