If you're a fan of musician
Aesop Rock, then you've certainly heard about Whiskers, whose Twitter account can be found
HERE... and while we have been posting teaser images last week of the upcoming Kidrobot vinyl figure, the folks over at
Vinyl Pulse got the scoop on the figure and posted up some details and photos of this soon to be released figure! Standing almost 11" tall, "
Whiskers the Undead" was designed in collaboration between Aesop Rock and former creative director for Kidrobot,
Galen McKamy... and their finished piece is above... so cool! Galen interviewed Aesop about the process, and this is what he said "
I was super excited to get the opportunity to actualize an idea of mine in toy format with Kid Robot, and immediately thought of Whiskers. I went back and forth with the ever-radical Galen McKamy about the character and design, and he was able to chip this sassy muffugah out like a vinyl David statue.” said Aesop Rock.
"I was especially happy we could get the crow in there because what's a realm-crossing zombie cat have in life if not to swat a god damn omen of death from the sky? Anyway, I'm psyched - I hope you are too.” - yup, we are psyched!!! Whiskers the Undead is slated to release on Thursday, December 11th 2014 for $250 a pop via Kidrobot.com, Kidrobot SF, Kidrobot Las Vegas, select retailers and Aesop’s official store
