Out of the ashes, Whiskers The Undead has come back to life in the form of a limited vinyl figurine, which hits the shelves at select stores December 11. Aesop Rock's vision was helped along by Kidrobot, producer and retailer of designer toys founded in 2002 by Paul Budnitz, specializing in artist-created toys and imports from Japan, Hong Kong and Europe.
According to a press release, "It is with great joy that I bring to you Whiskers The Undead - my new collaboration with the wonderful Kidrobot toy company. The ever-lovable Whiskers made his debut in 2012 and is back more/less alive than ever. This 10.5" mid-battle feline comes complete with exposed innards and detachable crow enemy for maximum death-play. He can be used to contact the deceased, or as a colorful accent-piece for that otherwise drab living room. The toy was designed in collaboration with Galen McKamy, and comes in a beautiful box illustrated by Coro." --Aesop Rock
The Minneapolis-based retail store Fifth Element also has an exclusive offer:
