"BIC BUDDY" Artist Series One

We recently saw some teaser images not to long ago from Bic Plastics (posted HERE) and it has been officially announced, BIC is releasing their first mini figures artist series, dubbed “Bic Buddy Artist Series 1.” The series features custom designs from 13 artists! The feature above shows the works of MAD, Marka27 and Ritzy Periwinkle!

Check out all the artists involved in this project:

MAD, Marka27, Brandt Peters, Kathie Olivas, Cope2, kaNO, Jesse Hernandez, Scribe, Andrew Bell, Sket, Indie84, Angry Woebots, Ritzy Periwinkle

Ritzy’s design shows off the wings accessory, adding a new dimension to the standard figure shape. “I only had a couple of days to create two design options for BIC Plastics,” explains Ritzy. “The chosen design was inspired by my experiences of Dia De Los Muertos in Oaxaca, Mexico, as well as the ongoing struggles of women all over the world, the revolutionary acts we commit on the daily and the incredible strength of my mom, who passed away 14 years ago.” The Bic Buddy figures will be distributed in the USA by DKE toys and in Taiwan by Pixie. They will be available in August with a preview at SD Comic Con next week, and there will be release/signing events in L.A. (AUG 15), N.Y.C. (AUG 20) and CHI TOWN (AUG 22).
