Skwak’s Maniac

Skwak’s Maniac figure was recently shown at Toy Tokyo’s Toy Fair booth.  Pics of the lil’ blue guy with beenie have caused quite a stir on the ‘net.  People  want to know more about this wild and distinctive figure.  The figure design flows  from Skwak’s art which packs intricate detail and scores of wide-mouthed characters into chaotic scenes exploding with color.   Well-known in France, Skwak’s unmistakable signature style has earned him international recognition.  The Maniac character has appeared in various forms throughout Skwak’s
illustrations including those featured in Beautiful Decay’s recent Archive show at Scion LA. The Maniac has also escaped into homes nationwide through the recent Wienerschnitzel TV campaign.


Fresh from the illustrations and TV spots, the Maniac vinyl art toy will be released in May ’07 from MINDstyle.  The pictured colorway will be limited to 500 pieces.  An additional colorway will be limited to 200 pieces.
