French artist Bunka has been making a name in the the toy scene with his sweet customs (El panda, Moody, and more). Today on Proto Monday, we’re stoked to bring you the very first look at his first original vinyl toy – Chaos Monkey (14 cm, 5-6 inches) due in September from Artoyz Originals.
While vinyl monkeys aren’t exactly endangered, Bunka brings a very different adrenalin fueled look that matches the intensity of his art style. Adding to the overall aggressive feel, the large eye sockets give the character somewhat of a ghastly (skull like) appearance. While Chaos Monkey has some bite, he’s also got a bit of humor with the exaggerated proportions.
Artoyz Originals will unveil fully-painted protos @ Bread and Butter in Barcelona (7.2 – 7.4). Chaos Monkey will drop in September ‘08. We’ll have pics of the color protos as soon as they make their trade show debut.
