Based on the painting of
Juan Muniz, the piece features Muniz’s signature character, Felipe, holding a rather dangerous group of “balloons”. In talking about the concept behind the character, Muniz explains that “
We often wear a second skin in daily life or at work and the ‘skin’ doesn’t reveal much of our true self. The ‘mask’ I draw is a blank stare and depending on the situation, can convey humor, doubt or irony. There is Felipe, dragging his bleeding heart, looking back to ensure it’s still there as if it’s a security blanket. There is Felipe, sitting on a chunk of earth with an anvil tied to his fishing pole. And there is Felipe, looking down at the bullet that moments ago pierced him, then popped out his back, walked around to the front and held up a sign that reads, ‘I’m sorry’.” First released at SDCC 2015 in the 'OG' colorway, Muniz's "Felipe" was an instant hit... and now for DCon 2015,
3DRetro is excited to announce the "Metallic" edition! Standing 9.5” tall from the top of the balloons, this metallic edition comes with a special metallic paint applied to body while the balloons feature a gold, silver, copper, and pearl finish! Limited to 150 pieces worldwide, this designer toy will retail for $55 a pop and will be up for grabs at the 3DRetro booth #532!
