Hi all!
Saltnpaper:
The long awaited package finally arrived! 5 Solidboys are now ready for the final touch, I’m planning to have them coated with clear matte finishing. The previous experiment with the coating turned out to be much darker than I expected though.
Since the beginning of the first prototype, I have been receiving questions about when will I launch, how many will be produced and how much Solidboy will be sold? Well, not that I’m trying to be secretive or something… The reason I’m keeping it in silent is because I want to balance the pricing with the quality and originality. After the long and intricate process now I can share you these:
- The launch for this design will be on March 2010.
- This Solidboy will be limited to only 5 pieces for each design.
- The price isssss… (I hope I didn’t disappoint anyone) US$200, including shipping worldwide
Unlike paper toys that can be produced alot & almost instantly, working with this wood toy turned out to be very intimate. Especially with the very limited piece, they virtually kind of grows on me… A bit sad to think that I’m going to send them away their new home too…
The picture that you see above is not the finished artwork since it’s lacking the coating. I just can’t hold my self to show you all the whole troop of Solidboys ;D.
