Joe Ledbetter’s Mr. Bunny and Fire-Cat

                                                         Mr. Bunny

Joe Ledbetter’s first two vinyl toys featuring his Mr. Bunny and Fire-Cat characters are due out from Wheaty Wheat sometime this summer.  Mr. Bunny is an 8 inch figure and Fire Cat stands at 6.5 inches.  Both will be produced in limited numbered editions of 400 each. In addition, there will be two special rare colorway editions of only 100 pieces each.  These figures are amazing, can’t wait to see them in person!  They have a unique visual style thanks to slammin’  character designs as well as the 2D-comes-alive design approach — i.e. flat ears and angular rather than rounded features.  Keep an eye out for these bad boys around summer time!

Also, I suppose it’s a little ironic and basackwards but I find myself learning about artists through their toys and then subsequently learning about their 2d or canvas art.  Oh… my point!  Joe’s art work is amazing.  He has some reasonably priced giclee prints for sale on his site.  They’re all pretty cool but my favorite is the "Wrath…".
