Japanese illustrator Ippei Gyoubu weaves together visions of hip youth awash in trendy style — current and futuristic. From their clothes to their gear and music, these ‘toons exude cool. In addition to his Spunky A Go-Go and Planet Fusion comics, Ippei has also worked with high-profile brands including Sony Walkman, Dr. Pepper and Addidas. He is currently in charge of character design for Nickelodeon’s animation adaptation of Akihabara@Deep. In between all these projects, he’s also designed his first original toy, Jet Girl.
The Jet Girl polystone figure will soon be release by Wonderwall as part of the 2nd wave of Galle Colle figures. With a funky mashed-up fashion sense, she’s ready to rock with axe in hand. She drops at the end of June — keep an eye out.
