"Honoo" The Flame by Leecifer x Super7
What's been in the making for over 2 years now, Super7 has finally opened their loving arms and let Leecifer come out and play :-) Set to debut at his 2 man show with Paul Kaiju on Saturday, February 26th is Leecifer's induction to the Monster Family (his first production vinyl figure btw... yeah!!!) with his new vinyl figure called "Honoo" The Flame! Standing at a little over 4.5" tall this little guy has wood stumps for legs and enough flame to make any forest shudder! This figure looks to be another epic character in the Monster Family line... and I am sure will be greatly sought after by all fans of not only Leecifer's, but of Super7 as well!
I sat down with Leecifer and asked him how he came up with the concept for this figure, and if there was some sort of story behind it... and this is what he had to say. "The initial concept was that if you told a fireside story about any of the Monster Family critters including the Honoo (Flame) that there was a very good chance that one would appear in the fire - playing, dancing, skating on a board of flame etc. (whatever you were into) to keep prospective night terrors, weather real or imagined at bay. Protector of children, both young and old, Honoo loves a good story, a mulled beverage (cocoa, hot chocolate, sake, and mead are enjoyed with equal relish) and a warm fire. Honoos also appear in a wide range of colors and sizes depending on the nature of the story that's being told, the time of year, and what's being burned. Simple chemicals like Strontium = Red, Calcium Chloride = Orange, Sodium Nitrate = Yellow, Barium = Green, Copper Sulfate = Turquoise, Copper Chloride = Blue, Potassium = Purple, and Magnesium = White etc all summon different hued Honoos. But the story makes a difference too as regular old wood, a few pages from a trashy romance or a tale told of romance and unrequited love in the month of February can summon different shades of pink (authors note - I've NEVER called a pink one, ok well mebbe' once or twice). In fact I'm fairly certain the magic in the air from various holidays will also effect to color of the spirit called."
So does all of this mean that we are going to see many awesome colorways of this figure... you bet your bottom dollar we will! Congrats goes to Lee for getting his figure finally produced... who else is stoked for this?
