British artist James Jarvis has created this vinyl for the upcoming Platform International Animation Festival (PIAF) at the end of June. These vinyls will be handed out as the equivalent of a trophy for the various category winners during the PIAF. The medallion seen on the neck of the figure was created by William Cheshire, a one time collaborator with the British brand Silas (to which Jarvis was also a member of). James Jarvis and two directors from Silas went on to create Amos Toys. Do not expect to see a commercial release of this figure.
