Foox is finally revealing the prototype for his upcoming Elemental Badgers series, scheduled to be released in 2011. This series of 6-inch tall vinyl figures will be limited to 500 pieces in 5 colorways.
The Elemental Badgers offer the world a view into the nexus between Science, Nature, and Magic.
Each Elemental Badger will be handpainted, named, and numbered by artist. The Elemental Badgers play upon the 5 elements of Nature (Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Soul), the elements of the periodic table (noble gases, flammables, liquids, metals, etc) and the different branches of the military (Air Force, Rangers, Marines, SEALS, etc) - making each individual badger a work of unique meticulously crafted art.
In Japanese mythology, the badger was put in a sack and beaten to bring forth good luck. Each of these elemental totems carries with it a small ruin for exactly that purpose. So rather than beating the poor Elemental Badger for good luck, we transferred the luck to the ruin and on to you!
