Organ Donors Chinese Edition Vinyl Figures by Foox

The Blot’s a little slow in covering this, but last month Street Anatomy unveiled exclusive Organ Donors Chinese Edition vinyl figures! How cool is that!?! According to Street Anatomy:
David Foox, designer of the popular Organ Donor dolls has given Street Anatomy an exclusive first look at the Chinese edition of the Organ Donors! Foox created these designer vinyl toys in order to bring awareness to the issue of organ donation.

Organ Donors Chinese Edition by Foox - One Heart Vinyl Figure
Above is a pre-production snapshot of the new ONE HEART. The final production vinyl (RARE) will have slightly darker reds and the dragon will be metallic gold. This rare version is called ONEHEART and replaces LIONHEART from the US Edition of ORGAN DONORS. There is another super rare vinyl code-named “1949-2009 Forever” (the real name is not being released yet).
The Blot was checking out Foox’ Flickr page and stumbled upon this photo of both Chinese Edition Vinyl Figures (see below)! I assume the second one is the mysterious “1949-2009 Forever” figure mentioned by Street Anatomy, but who knows. The Blot hopes to uncover more information on these exclusive Organ Donors figures very soon.

A Boy and His Organs: A Review of Foox’ Organ Donors

A few weeks ago I finally got my hands on a pair of Organ Donor vinyl figures. Since then, I’ve seen these little guys everywhere! In a comic book store up in Dallas…at San Diego Comic Con…you name it I’ve seen them there. Created by Foox and produced by Erick Scarecrow’s ESC-Toy Ltd., it looks like Organ Donors have officially invaded America.

Organ Donors by Foox - Lion Heart Vinyl Figure and Packaging
I first talked about this unique blind box set back in February, but thought I’d blog about them again (and post some pics) now that I’ve seen two of them in person. I pulled a Lion Heart figure and an Eye of the Storm Plasma figure out of my blind boxes and was thrilled. The Lion Heart Organ Donor is definitely one of my favorite figures in the series, second only to the Invincible Lungs with its Iron Man colorway.

The paint job on these 3.25” figures is really great, and I was surprised at the amount of detailed sculpting of the Lion Heart’s organ head considering the figure’s size. I also didn’t realize the Eye of the Storm Plasma figure’s head was see-through, which is also very cool. But best of all, these figures bring attention to the real life implications of organ donation and the lives it saves. I think this is an issue that unfortunately hits home with a lot of us, and I’m a sucker for any designer vinyl figure that draws attention to such an important topic.
