Tan-Ki’s KiClear Inclusions for Wondercon Resin Showcase

The DIY spirit and creativity of today’s resin toy artists is truly inspiring, and France’s Tan-Ki is no exception. Tan-Ki makes resin figures that resemble glass sculptures. They’re striking as standalone pieces, but then he went and upped the ante by designing them from the inside out. While many artists take a platform toy and customize its exterior, Tan-Ki transforms the original toy into a new toy, but also creates the best damn “display case” for the platform in the process.

Tan-Ki puts vinyl toys in clear resin toys. (To that extent, he shares company with the spectacular Ayako Takagi.) I’ve been a fan of Tan-Ki’s KiClear Inclusions for a while. He has a knack for making art sculptures that are beautiful, yet also playful. We’ll have 9 original KiClear figures available for purchase at Neon Monster’s Wondercon Resin Showcase. Each piece comes with a custom Wonder-Ki header card featuring 2D art of the 3D bagged piece. Can you name all the vinyl toys that have been suspended inside the resin figures? (The mini-Qees and tiny sushis are already spoken for…) Very, very cool.

You can see close-ups of these guys on Tan-Ki’s Flickr. Click through for a few more pictures, and hope to see you April 2nd-4th at Wondercon Booth 944 & 946.
