- LIL’ DEATH - by Paul Shih
Hiya! Hope you’re having a great Friday, I’ve been good ( sick at the moment) but otherwise pretty good today I’m going to talk about a wonderful art toy that I received in the mail a few weeks ago.
I’m talking about LIL’ DEATH a cute but sinister character from the Hollow Threat Metal Universe all created by Paul Shih an awesome friend and talented designer from New Zealand. LIL’ DEATH is a great exclusive piece to own because it’s limited to 20 figures Worldwide!
I admire Paul’s work because he has exactly the kind of aesthetics that makes me buy toys like crazy, clear lines and chubby round simple design, very Kawaii - Japanese + the fact that I Love all sorts of METAL music, these are just some of the many reasons why his designs speak to me. LIL’ DEATH is handmade out of resin by Paul himself as you can see in his blog here and stands 4.5 inches tall, is surprisingly light weight for a resin piece and it smells wonderful like vanilla with marshmallow and to be honest if you don’t know much about resin toy figures you could confuse LIL’ DEATH for a vinyl piece oh yeah! is that good ^_^
So as you can see I’m absolutely in love with this piece and I’m very happy to have it in my collection, you can check out more photos of it over here at my flickr or on Paul’s Website ohh yeah and I forgot to mention that is his Birthday today! so go check him out and congratulate him. See ya later and have a good weekend!
