Washizu, the previously mentioned collab between the Staple brand and James Jean will be available as a 24-hr timed edition on Saturday (3.4) at 8 AM PST over at StapleXJamesJean.com for an as-yet unannounced price.  Inspired by Akira Kurosawa’s Throne of Blood—a retelling of Macbeth—and its lead character, the striking PVC figure offers James Jean’s vision of the film’s climatic scene, recasting Jeff Staple’s signature Pigeon—celebrating its 20th anniversary—as a graceful yet powerful warrior absorbing a volley of arrows. 

As seen in the concept art, Washizu—produced by Mighty Jaxx—makes the transition from strong drawing to forceful sculpture with a commanding finish featuring a blue slate effect and golden arrows—that final color choice is in flux.  With an artful mix of the Staple Brand, James Jean and Akira Kurosawa, this promises to be one of the premiere drops of 2017.
