BIC Buddy Mini Vinyl Figure Artist Series 1

The Blot has been waiting for the official release of BIC Plastic’s BIC Buddy mini vinyl figure Artist Series 1 ever since the 3 inch toy line first debuted at San Diego Comic Con 2009 back in July, and it sounds like they should finally be hitting store shelves sometime soon! I love my Jesse Hernandez SDCC 2009 exclusive yellow BIC Buddy, and I’ve been wanting to add Hernandez’ black BIC Buddy to my collection ever since. Designed by Marka27, the new BIC Buddy platform is fantastic.

While this 3” platform is the same height as Kidrobot’s Dunny, it has a bulkier body and head giving artists more surface area to play with. Plus, certain BIC Buddys come with killer accessories like wings and capes! The BIC Buddy platform is definitely the first mini figure artist series I’ve been excited for in a really long time.
