DOUBLE SUPER Ushers In a Return To Art Toys

DOUBLE SUPER, an upcoming range of figures by San Francisco’s own STRANGEco, made its debut at Comic-Con. Representing great hope for art toys, which in recent years have dropped the “art” from the equation, DOUBLE SUPER features intricate, high-quality sculptural editions by Nathan Ota, Bob Dob, Mars-1, Ron English, Feric and Will Sweeney. Each figure has been created faithfully from an original painting by the artists, and read this twice toy junkies: they have NO articulation. The sizable works are made from vinyl, and though prices aren’t set as of this posting, they are expected to be in the $120, $150 and $175  ballpark with low run sizes. I, for one, am double-super-stoked.
