General Skullo and The Kyoufuoctopus from Plaseebo
Bob Conge from Plaseebo has been really busy with all kinds of customs and collaborations and this time around he has teamed up with Cannibalkaiju to deliver "General Skullo and The Kyoufuoctopus". These two rad figures are a mash-up of "Skulloctopus"(by Plaseebo) and "General Kyoufu"(by Cannibalkaiju) in an Ultra Limited edition of just 5 sets. The 5 1/2" tall "General Skullo" with swirled glass eye inserts has the patented Plaseebo color changing LED and the skull is hand painted by Bob Conge of Plaseebo... now the 3 1/2" tall "Kyoufuoctopus" with 2 internal motion activated color changing LED units is painted by Michael Pro of Cannibalkaiju. Bob has painted each of his 5 figures in a slightly different color scheme with various brain and arm inserts that can be seen through the clear part of the skull and arm. Both figures are made from clear vinyl produced in Japan.
The sets will be available from the Plaseebo web store on Friday March 12th, 2010 for $195 per set. What a great mash up of artists, and the figures are super cool!
About the figures:
[Press] "TWO HEADS ARE BETTER THAN ONE" or so the story goes. They met in 1956 at Paradise Ranch aka Area 51 millitary testing facility in southern Nevada. The Skulloctopus was a survivor of a flying saucer crash thought to have come from the planet Mars and General Kyoufu, a bio-cyborg soldier the government was experimenting on to create the ultimate killing machine. It was a match made in Hell and to make the most of it they exchanged heads as a symbol of their alliance before escaping into the moonlit desert.
