Upper Playground has asked Alex Pardee to design a vinyl interpretation of the brand’s Walrus mascot. Alex’s design features one of his angry characters riding atop a rather friendly and almost docile walrus. Upper Playground sent along pics of the figure in the sculpting stage, some of which feature Alex’s annotations. Looking good at this stage – especially the crazy ?hair? texture on the rider. It’s good to see a toy that exploits the benefits of the 3D medium – something we’d like to see a lot more. More pics after the jump.
