Singaporean Simon Kang is readying his first designer toy… B09. This bovine with "a passion for graphics and cars" is based on his BlackOink design firm’s mascot. B09 is a one-man operation, Simon’s doing everything – design, sculpting, casting, sanding, painting, etc. What you see here is the unpainted version featuring the pig with a ‘tude in his racing suit. The plan is to release a total of 10-20 pieces of the 4" figure in three colorways. Since this is his first figure, Simon’s kept things straightforward with one point of articulation at the head. Pricing and release date are still TBD.
Props to Simon for following his passion with the time and energy necessary to produce this figure with his own hands. For a follow-on project, we’d like to see Simon work on a version that recreates the cocky outstretched arm pose of his original 2D drawings.
