Korean studio Hands in Factory has collaborated with Pop Mart on the new Lil’ Tie resin art toy. Part of the studio’s long-running Horns concept and series, this little ram designed by Up is all about staying ready to seize the moment. With a red kangol hat, and removable glasses, Lil’ Tie keeps his eyes out for any opportunity by doing all the little things. As a metaphor, he always keeps his shoes tied tight—no loose, sloppy laces here.
The Lil ‘Tie resin art toy (8.27″) will launch as part of a special Hands In Factory event at the Pop Mart Hongdae Flagship Store on April 1st (2- 4 PM) in Seoul, Korea. A very limited quantity (10 pieces) will be available online from Pop Mart’s Aliexpress shop on Friday (3.31) @ 7 PM PDT. While pricing has not been formally announced — it appears the figure may retail for $144.90. As a special bonus, collectors who purchase Lil ‘Tie on AliExpress can enter to win UpTempo’s Built On Fire 2 signed sketchbook (see product page)
