DESIGNER TOY ALERT: Deconstructed Mouse Vinyl Figure
Here’s great news for designer toy fans and collectors! According to Matt Gondek, also known as @gondekdraws on Instagram, ‘the wait is almost over’, as his first full color vinyl figure — Deconstructed Mouse — will be released on August 15, 2017. His Deconstructed Mouse is a collaboration with Toyqube, an art production company creating high end, limited edition collectibles. Back in May, Gondek and Toyqube provided us with a first look of the figure, basing on Gondek’s Mickey Exploder print from 2016. A prototype of the figure was displayed at Five Points Festival, and also at Hong Kong Toy Festival. Since then, we have been eager beavers on how the figure would look like once it’s finished. Of course, Gondek and Toyqube did not disappoint!
