Action Man 40 40 @ Blink Gallery (5.16.06)


For the 40th anniversary of Hasbro’s Action Man (G.I. Joe in the USA), Clutter Magazine  and Hasbro have organized the Action Man 40 40 Exhibition
at Blink Gallery in London, England opening on May 16th and running
through the 27th.  To celebrate one of the truly classic 12" figures,
the  40 participating artists have been asked to splash their talents
on  reproduction editions of the original Action Man. 

The chosen
artists range from artists known for their work with 12" figures
including Michael Lau, Jason Siu, and Eric So to designer toy stars
including Tristan Eaton, Huck Gee, MAD and Sket-One and finally to
lowbrow/postbrow artists such as Gary Baseman and Joe Ledbetter, and so many more.   Check  the dossier above for the full list of "secret agents"
participating in this "covert mission". At the conclusion of the exhibition, each of the custom pieces will be auctioned off to benefit charity. 

Be sure to check out  the slick Action Man 40 40’s  website for more information and a slick way to get a a sneak peek of some of the custom figures. This should be a great event
with a wide variety of looks and styles for Action Man.
