Amanda Visell has released a nice army of toys so far, but she’s never had her own original mini-series. That changes on April first when Kidrobot drops her Tic-Toc Apocalypse minis featuring fourteen characters including many fan favorites including the Jackalope, Poopicorn, and Wood Dragon Scout. The name of the series is drawn from her ‘08 solo show in Palm Springs. Some of the figures are based on either paintings or sculptures (such as the Ice God) from the show while others appeared in later works.
From the individual shots (after the jump) – these new figs are strong translations of Amanda’s art from the dry brush-like textures to the strong 3D shapes (especially Ice God). Tic-Toc Apocalyspe drops April 1st 2010 for $9.95 per blind-box.
I’m so excited for these! Actually I’m excited about all the recent Amanda Visell news! I’m glad she’s finally coming out with a mini-series, it’s a great opportunity to see some more of her paintings in toy form! And also affordable!
