KidSuper and SUPERPLASTIC Team Up for Chop Chop Vinyl Figures
Each figure holds a functional paintbrush.
Following its collaboration with the likes of Bored Ape Yacht Club and Gucci for physical and digital collectibles, SUPERPLASTIC now works with LVMH Prize-winning designer KidSuper for a range of limited-edition vinyl figures reimagining SUPERPLASTIC’s signature Chop Chop character.
Two variations of the figures are available found in Kidsuper’s bold colorways. Limited to 1,666 units, the “8-INCH KIDSUPERPLASTIC” is finished in a contrasting mix of vibrant matte magenta and soft blue vinyl with a gold electroplated belt buckle. Exclusive to the SUPERPLASTIC NYC location with just 500 figures made is the 8-INCH KIDSUPERPLASTIC DESERT which is finished with a scenic desert view vinyl and a silver belt buckle. Both figures hold a fully usable paintbrush and are accompanied by a digital comic that follows the “misadventures” of KIDSUPERPLASTIC.
“I wanted to design a product that inspires people to create,” says Colm Dillane, Founder of KidSuper. “With this in mind, every KidSuperplastic figure was intentionally designed to include a fully usable paintbrush that is symbolic of this and the idea that anyone can create their own world.”
The “KIDSUPERPLASTIC” collection will be available via the SUPERPLASTIC website and retailers starting February 23.
