Remember back in 2010 when
we announced a line titled "Toxic Candies" designed by French artist
Stéphane Levallois and produced by
Artoyz? Well, this partnership have conceived of a new series, one which has already debuted! Titled "Story Killers", this new line reimagines the heroines of childhood tales as powerful and independant women who have a tendency to be… violent? I mean, as the side of the box states, paraphasing lyrics from the song "The Future" by Leonard Cohen, "I have seen the future: it is murder".
Sculpted by
Etienne Aillaud from Levallois's illustrations, the 7⅞-inch tall vinyl "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge" figure, whose name is French for
Little Red Riding Hood, debuted at ComicCon Paris in a "Snow Edition", which was followed by a regular version using traditional colorations of the character. And the character, obviously, is Little Red Riding Hood, though herein she has killed the wolf by cutting its head off, wearing the gory reminder as a trophy! The pictured version is the new "Dark Night Edition", mixing glossy and matte blacks in a standout colorway which is limited to 200 pieces. Available now in the
Artoyz online shop for €75 (approx. $80) apiece, some copies of the regular version might still be available as well!
