The biggest designer toy announcement coming out of San Diego Comic-Con this year was the launch of Luke Chueh and Munky King’s new Kickstarter project “Grief Encounters”! The goal of this exciting new KS project is to raise the funds necessary to produce a series of animated shorts based on the art of Luke Chueh. Entitled “Grief Encounters”, this animated series will bring to life Luke’s unique pop-surrealist art and answer some timeless questions like “What's the deal with the bear after he was hijacked by the Devil in Possessed?” or “What's up with the chicken in I Asked For Scrambled?”
Grief Encounters sounds amazing, and I can’t wait to see how the creators of these animated shorts are able to bring Chueh’s unique blend of comedy and tragedy to life through his iconic paintings. This Kickstarter campaign is Munky King and Luke’s way to feasibly independently produce their vision of Luke's art in animation. And as with most Kickstarter campaigns there are some insane rewards for this project! If you’re a fan of either Luke’s work or designer art toys in general, there are some amazing rewards to choose from!
Backing the Grief Encounters Kickstarter campaign is the only way for Luke Chueh fans to get their hands on the first two colorways of the brand new, never released before 10th Anniversary Possessed!!! The Blot can’t believe one of the most popular figures in the art toy scene is finally back! This redesigned vinyl figure is available in two KS exclusive colorways: Black (As MY Soul) and Chrome (limited to 25 pieces). The insane Chrome Edition features a gunmetal chrome Bear with a red chrome Devil.
But that’s not all! Collectors can also pledge to receive a Kickstarter Exclusive Glow in the Dark Hung vinyl figure , a Kickstarter Exclusive Glow in the Dark Prisoner resin figure, and a Kickstarter Exclusive Kuma Kush Edition Prisoner XL 6” flocked resin figure. There’s seriously just too much Luke Chueh goodness to choose from! Any Luke Chueh completists out there better be pledging big time to the Grief Encounters Kickstarter campaign because this will be the only way add all five of these killer exclusives to your collection.
