Paleolito DIY

Designer Vinyl is a global phenomenon.  While there are certainly key hubs of creative activity (LA, NYC, Tokyo and more), cool toy projects are sprining up worldwide.  Paleolito from Brazillian artist Isamel Lito.  As the name suggests, Paleolito’s design is patterned after Prehistoric man with a rough and tumble  born-from-rock shape.

Conceived as a DIY figure, Paleolito stands 10 cm (roughly 4″) and is available now directly from the artist’s web shop  in both white and black editions for R$ 45 (~ $20) + shipping.  Customs are also available  for extremely reasonable prices (many are  slightly under $35).  Check some of them out after the jump.

While there are a lot of platforms in the mix these days, it’s cool to see independent creators trying to realize a different vision.  Paleolito offers a unique shape set apart from cookie-cutter geometric me-too designs.
