For the past six months, Rocketboy has been working with 3D printing accelerator/evangelist Bold Machines on Nohwitz, a spunky new art toy. Inspired by the annoying know-it-all coworker who is in fact clueless, Nohwitz will be produced by Mold Machines as a fully 3D-printed run. Designed as a 3D model, the figure includes three different hand options (hands, tentacles, and hooves) and three tooth options (molars, fangs, and tusks).
Look for a May release of a hand-painted original colorway edition (above) as well as a custom show. For those of you looking to paint one of these, Rocketboy is considering a small DIY edition as well.
We’re excited by the toy and the possibility of 3D printing as a truly viable production choice for low-run art toys.
