Under the Radar: Cult of Toy's Johnny Birdman
Cult of Toy has revealed its first in-house project, an interesting looking sculpt by the name of Johnny Birdman. Yes, true to his name, it appears Johnny has a few bird friends resting on his arms, head and quite big horns. He also looks to be staring at the little birds quizzically, as if unsure what to do with these little feathered beasts perched in his hand and all over him. Designed by British pop surrealist artist Mr. Mead, Johnny Birdman will stand a full 16 inches tall and there should be a painted version soon, with other colorways possibly to come in the future. We'll also likely be getting details down the line on price, release date and run sizes, but what's your thoughts on this piece in its prototype form? Did you know?
