Noferin’s Pecanpals wood figures captured collectors’ attention with last year’s release of the first pastel colored series. The toys did an excellent job of translating the duo’s characters from their paintings into 3D. It gets even better with the next release – the Natural Wood edition which drops on Tuesday May 5th @ 3 PM PDT.
The Natural Wood edition beautifully showcases the appeal of 100% sustainably harvested wood with a minimalist approach exposing the figures’ natural grain. Natural wood editions are few and far between and that’s a definite shame – these may go down as the quintessential Pecanpals.
Limited to 300 pieces each, the Natural Wood Pecanpals are a very strong and tempting offering with a very reasonable $45 retail price. So it’s pretty awesome that Noferin’s Nick and Candy are going the extra mile by offering a bonus for collectors who order a full set of 5 figures – a hand-cut, hand-pressed and varnished wood print. The bonuses don’t stop there – Noferin will include a double-sided poster for any purchase of the Natural Wood edition figures.
In our opinion the Pecanpals deliver on the tremendous and mostly unfulfilled promise of wood as an alternative to vinyl for art toys. If you’re on the fence, take our word for it – buy these directly from Noferin on the 5th. You’ll be extremely happy.
