First released in extremely limited quantities at Beijing Toy Show, the MechaSoul: Anti-virus vinyl art toy from Singaporean artist Clogtwo and adFunture offers a bold, in-your-face look at the nature of happiness in the digital age. The oversized figure features a mechanized smiley face with a cutaway revealing its true soul. At 9.84” high, the roughly circular piece is slightly larger than an NBA basketball. The commanding size is a large part of its appeal, giving it a presence and import that it wouldn’t have if it were smaller. Here the form factor is part of the message.
The MechaSoul: Anti-virus vinyl is now available for pre-order from adFunture for $195 with free global shipping. It comes with a clever vinyl base that tucks discretely underneath for optimal display. The first batch is slated to ship out on November 22nd, 2019.
