Whaleboy toy Prototype.





I got the prototype back. It was sculpted by my pal Brannon Wright (check out the links for his site) and painted by my bud Darren Henke. and I don't think I could be any happier. What do you think?

It may be a few months away yet to get the vinyl out. I hope to have some limited editions available as well. All hand painted by various artists. And they would be able to paint him any way they want to. Any color. It would be cool to have a one of a kind peice don't you think?

I will of course keep everyone updated on this.

cheers

Such an amazing job! I recognize Brannon's name. I think he did some work for my dad's product design firm. He really did a sweet job on whaleboy. I saw it at the Con but couldn't afford it at the time. I'd love to see some of the variations get made as well. Keep on impressing and inspiring!
