Kidrobot announced exclusively on Vinylpulse the upcoming release of the Whiskers the Undead vinyl figure by Aesop Rock. Whiskers originally debuted back in 2012 in a series of four promo videos for Aesop Rock’s Skelethon album. This undead cat has been reimagined as an anatomically realistic 10.5” vinyl figure designed by artist Galen McKamy and Aesop Rock. According to VP, “the undead cat is poised to snare a crow perched tantalizingly on his skeletal head, a scene which unfolds on the gorgeous gold-foil stamped box featuring three original illustrations by Coro. The figure makes strong use of injected PVC to realize Whisker’s intricate skeleton including a hyper-detailed head with sculpted nasal passages and a torso with individual ribs which give way to organs (heart, intestines) and finally the cat’s fur hind quarter – all of which appear to be rotocast.”
Whiskers the Undead goes on sale this Thursday, December 11th, at Kidrobot.com, Kidrobot SF, Kidrobot Las Vegas, select retailers worldwide and Aesop’s official store, Fifth Element, for $250 each.
