Warner Bros. animated characters have a long history of invading pop culture through television, from popularizing classical compositions to creating mainstream hits that stand the test of time. ToyQube has teamed up with Soap Studio to invite a handful of artists – including Eric So, Kenny Wong and Tik Ka – to reimagine WB’s iconic Looney Tunes characters through their own unique lenses in a new series of vinyl figures entitled “Get Animated”.
The first two releases in this exciting new Get Animated Series are Bugs Bunny and Tweety Bird vinyl figures designed by artist Pat Lee! Bugs features a wild, dynamic design blending his traditional gray and white color scheme with vivid, fleshy pink. From his mismatched eyes to his bulging heart and curious leg shackles, the toy offers surprises and unexpected details.
Pat Lee’s Tweety design recasts the adorable yellow bird as a force to be reckoned with. A stylized Sylvester lurches out from his brain, perhaps in an attempt to flee the enraged canary with his angry violet eyes and almost mech-like power. The patches of gray, fibrous anatomical details gives Tweety a futuristic, mechanically menacing appearance.
These limited edition Looney Tunes figures are made of vinyl and PVC, and go on sale at noon EDT today, Thursday, September 20th, at the ToyQube online store. Bugs Bunny stands 13” tall and retails for $179.99, while Tweety Bird stands 9” tall and retails for $169.99. The Blot cannot wait to see what will be next in this awesome “Get Animated” series!
