It's impressive what a couple of years can do in an artist's career… Méxican customizer
Shiffa originally created the "Ikarus" original on the Dunny platform in 2014 (though he notes it as 2013 in the comparison picture below), and now he's revisited the design with a new version using the skills he's acquired since. Bear in mind that — to the best of my knowledge — the original "Ikarus" was Shiffa's second professionally available custom creation and it was on an 8-inch Dunny! Yes, he's packed the same amount of detail, if not more, onto a 3-inch tall vinyl figure! With loads of sculpted work, I love the addition of flocked ears and skin marks, the tiny bolts of hair atop his head, and the transparent drool oozing forth from his mouth. A wonderful example of how persistence mixed with creativity and skill can evolve, this one-of-a-kind piece will be available today (August 2nd, 2016) at 9am Pacific time in
Shiffa's online shop for $130.
