After a year of development and production, Brandt Peters’ Stingy Jack, the first sofubi figure (6.5”) from the Tomenosuke + Circus Posterus collabo toy project, will drop this weekend. Stingy Jack is one mean character. While his outfit might remind you of a clown’s, he’s certainly not about fun and games. The sculptural detail is quite nice here from the pumpkin shaped head with an awesome edged mouth to Jack’s sweet outfit. For an awesome run-down of the process of bringing Stingy Jack to life, check out Shinji Nakako’s excellent WIP article series.
The debut edition features an opaque light pumpkin colored head with a vivid clear purple body with accents in purple, black and lavender. Limited to 120 pieces, Stingy Jack’s drop, as all future T+CP drops, will be split into two separate releases (60 pcs each) – one for North America and one for the rest of the world including Asia and Europe. The USA drop is slated for Sunday, August 26th @ 1 PM PDT from Circusposterus.com for $95. The Japan (and rest of the world) drop will be through Tomenosuke.com on 8.25 @ Midnight Japan time (Sunday Morning) for 7600 yen.
