JPX hinted a while ago that an upcoming collaboration with
coarse they'd be releasing would depict an
Asian water monitor, and this certainly appears to be it! Similar in theme to the "
Friend Feast" series, depicting a cutely styled animal in the midst of eating in a somewhat disturbing manner, these photos come from
Wittawat Té Srikwan, who explains that "Thai people also call this animal 'Chicken Eater'", due to its penchanct to "steal chicken[s] (and any small animal[s])", which certainly explains the chicked component on the smaller design. Their colorations, according to Wittawat, probably are derived from another nickname these reallife beasts have: the "Silver&Golden creature". Displayed at this year's
Thailand Toy Expo, the larger version is titled "haloo — bad day to be a donut" while the other is "haloo — bad day to be a chicken", with these versions being cast in resin and not for sale. Expect vinyl versions released by
JPX to be forthcoming, though.
