Los Angeles-based artist Jim McKenzie spins his unique brand of toy magic by blending his sculpting and filmmaking talents. His latest creation offers a stylized, tripped-out take on a childhood classic. The new Potato Face polystone art toy features sixteen interchangeable parts, some slightly traditional and others anything but. It’s up to you and your changing mood as to what form the figure will take, from out-of-the-box standard to an even more surreal transformation.
While McKenzie has partnered with art toy brands on his previous figures, Potato Head is his first fully self-produced release from sculpting to production to even hand-boxing each and every toy. But wait there’s more…! The figure will be front and center in McKenzie’s Potato Face short film which invites viewers into Roy’s Toy’s wondrous factory.
An edition of 200, the Potato Head polystone art toy (7.5″) is available for pre-order from Jim McKenzie for $300 and is slated to ship in the first week of December. Each box will be signed/numbered on the back by the artist. The short film is also set to debut in December.
