Glamb and Medicom Toy to Release Limited 'Throw Mickey' Figures
Inspired by Banksy’s ‘Love is in the Air’ 2005 artwork.
Japanese grunge label Glamb teamed up with Medicom Toy to release a sleek series of Throw Mickey VCD (“Vinyl Collectible Doll”) figures. Arriving in monochromatic and color editions, the vinyl artwork features the famed Walt Disney set to lob a flower bouquet — a nod to Banksy’s iconic 2005 artwork titled Rage, the Flower Thrower or Love is in the Air which portrays a masked Palestinian throwing a bouquet of flowers.
This summer saw slew of Mickey Mouse-inspired editions from Medicom Toy and the toy manufacturer’s longstanding cohorts. In July, Medicom Toy released a Mickey Mouse edition set with Swarovski crystals with a hefty price tag of $7,820 USD. The following month, Medicom Toy partnered up with fragment design to release a translucent BE@RBRICK portraying the mouse’s likeness.
Glamb and Medicom Toy’s Throw Mickey figures are scheduled to be released and shipped this month. Each figure is priced at ¥ 7,800 JPY (approx. $74 USD). Get a closer look at both versions in the slideshow above.
