Rollis Kickstarter Brings Stylized Retro Car Toys + Animated Short

Previous Next

Based in Korea, the Rollis project is creating a stylish world  inspired by retro European cars.  So far, the fictional, old-is-new motor company offers an eclectic, fun  selection of models for y our driving pleasure, including the Iso Isetta, Inter 175A, and the oh-so-cool Piaggio Ape.  Each of the Rollis designs feature CG-style drivers wedged into the teeny, tiny cars.

In addition to producing  super glossy 1:18 resin versions of the cars, Rollis is also working on a CG-animated short which from the teaser looks to be top-flight as well. To make their retro dreams come true, Rollis has launched a Kickstarter, ending on February 13th, with several rewards including the car toys which are available for $269 each.  The cars are available in a selection of colors and are limited to 20 per color.  Each features eight coats of spray + a UV clear coat and for better or worse, a fixed plaque-style display.

With Rollis’ work on the CG short film, and the high-gloss, pristine images of the resin toys, we’ve wondered whether the resin toys would live up to the pics on their IG and now, Kickstarter.  While we haven’t seen them in person, photos from their display at the recent Hong Kong Toy & Game fair are quite promising.
