The Hog, Slot and BigPig, residents of Hagg Wood have been relentlessly stalking UK Designer Coll Snowball for years as countless doodles in the margins his sketchbooks and corners of random pieces of paper. Now he’s about to free himself by unleashing them and their ensuing mischief on unsuspecting vinyl collectors.
First up is Hog, a deceptively innocuous-looking sort, and his quirky sidekick, The Slot, a mere molar with decidedly grander aspirations. With the Hog prototype nearly completed, Coll is planning to launch a Kickstarter campaign in a few days to make his toy dreams a reality.
Coll is planning three editions of the 3”’ Hog – Zip Tup, Captain ‘A’ Pants, and my favorite, the Howler. There are also plans for a 3” DIY and an 8” DIY. If all goes well, BigPig – a sloth who tends to reproduce constantly, will follow in Hog’s peculiar footsteps.
With a curious blend of cute and off-center quirky, the trio of Hog designs feel pleasantly different. From the front, the Hog has a more or less familiar shape. Seen from the side, the Hog’s boxy profile meshes nicely with Coll’s curious designs. We’ll let you know when the Kickstarter campaign is up and running.
