Seen: Shane Jessup – Lucky Cat Android Signing @ BAIT

 1_sjessup_bait_lcatandroid

If you like Lucky Cats, chances are good you’re eagerly awaiting the new Lucky Cat Androids designed by Shane Jessup for Andrew Bell’s Dyzplastic.   On Saturday, BAIT hosted a release party and signing for the new figures which should be on their way to retailers around the country.  While these looked great in the press photos, a few including the pearlescent white and the glossy black look even sharper in person.  As a fun bonus for collectors, BAIT worked with Shane to create four 5”x5” mini-prints and  offered one print for those that purchase six boxes and all four for case purchasers. 

I don’t normally comment on toy signatures per se, but as you can see in the photos after the jump, Shane has one of the fanciest, cursive signatures I’ve ever seen on a vinyl toy. Tag? No sir… John Hancock would be proud.

Fellow artists kaNO and Tristan Eaton (aka Dunny Creator) came out to support and also took turns doodling on BAIT’s previously pristine 20” Gold King Dunny – each rocking an eye.  Hopefully other artists will keep this going.

Props to Shane for a job well done on these and kudos to Andrew for seeing the possibility of going beyond a single figure or event a box set and making an entire Lucky Cat series. Missed the prints at the opening ?  Give BAIT a call for more info.
