Mark James is back with another clever Cardboy figure series dropping shortly. This time it’s the Cardboy CMYK Cartridges Set featuring four ‘toner’ characters: Cyan, Magenta, Yellow and Black — constants in designers’ never-ending quest to bring ideas into living color. Just like the previous Cardboy toys, you turn the dope outer packing inside out to create these new figures. Sharp stuff. The Cardboy CMYK Cartridges Set is produced by Playbeast and distributed by STRANGEco.
I’m slightly confused about the route these took, Original Cardboy rocked hard with its little back story, sneaker-ones I never liked, the attempt to go for what the kids out there would find AWESOME! took so much away from the original, clever concept. Here’s one for you graphic designers.
I’d hoped Mark J had gone the Cardboy – Cardgirl – Carddog – Cardfriends -House of Cards way if he wanted to expand the series.
I often destroy my toys, cardboard based or not.
LOVE!*
