Ah. Doubt they will look different

It 100% Medicom and it's polystone resin, not vinyl.This is what spanky Stokes state, Ever since we first announced that UK artist Banksy had officially licensed designs to Medicom Toy through anti-advertising mainstay Brandalism, fans have eagerly been awaiting releases… like the pictured “Flower Bomber,” which just became available! While the original design debuted over a dozen years ago, this roughly 14-inch tall polystone resin rendition took two years to sculpt to perfection. An extremely limited release, these 10+ pound pieces are on presale through the Japanese marketplace until January 10th, 2016 at 7am Pacific time through the CJ Mart online shop for ¥48000 (approx. $398) apiece. This statue is expected to ship late in May 2016.

Why is everyone so surprised, it's good enough for kaws(maybe not the best example as he's a glorified graphic designer) but deface and he's just rolled out the Beethoven bust and it's not his first rodeo either. English is a huge activist and he digs vinyl design. They are just inexpensive sculptures. Iamzero that's a 400%camo bathing ape or bape be@rbrick.

Within the toy collecting community I would say these will be revered as much as any kaws vinyl. I am however a little bias as I am awaiting both my flower Bomber and deface Beethoven, but going on spanky Stokes has stated all seems legit.

Has is been established that these are definitively not a collaboration with Banksy? Or is it still in doubt? Anybody received theirs yet? Are they still available? Is there and edition size? Lots of questions regarding these, I think they actually look quite good and apparently they are quite substantial if they weight 10lbs.

[Unica]

Hi there if anyone has a Banksy brandalism Medicom Flower Bomber toy they'd like to sell please PM me. I'm not looking for the monkey or the rat, just the flower chucker.

Thank you.

[MrMagoo]

i've just received one from japan that has the bottom flower stem broken, and also looks like the hand with the flowers might have been broken off and reattached.

would really appreciate if anyone else that bought one could post a few photos of the how the flower hand is attached here or PM please.

i'm wanting to confirm the quality of work with these, either it's not as high as i'd expected, or someone is trying to pull a fast one. regardless of the broken stem.

cheers.

did you buy off a retailer or reseller? and did your package look like it was opened? I just checked mine and my stem seems fine.

[Petrusino]

It seems a new version is on the way..

[BKBOI]

Looks better than the first

[onetwothree]

Think I prefer the White one, though this ones more like the painting.

[kwatis]

I am also awaiting the D*Face Beethoven (as I missed the original all white flower thrower) but the drop date was pushed back from late June to more like late July/August (received email from CJMart a couple days back).

[kwatis]

Also seems like another color way is available now for Flower Thrower -http://www.syncstore.jp/product/brandalism/0406/

Not sure if it ships to UK or US thru this site. You can also see some of the other items in the Medicom X Sync X Brandalism line.

I wouldnt bother thinking too much its a dust collector, make one outta playdoh, cheaper and more fun, involve the kids!

[warholsdream]

Banksy open sourced his images I'm pretty sure so it's kinda a free for all. I could be wrong though. 👍

[warholsdream]

I bought June as an investment while I got the new dface bust for my collection.

As an investment..?? I don't fancy your chances.... :/

[warholsdream]

I paid 700 already selling for 900 and being sold on P8 so I'm quietly confident. But thanx for your vote of confidence.

Banksy's 'Bomb Hugger Graffiti Print Is Transformed Into a Figurine
hypebeast.com/2017/1/banksy-bomb-hugger-figurine-867

bomb hugger:
store.shopping.yahoo.co.jp/project1-6/4530956490298.html

"Banksy‘s Bomb Hugger graffiti artwork was first released by Pictures on Walls in London in 2003 as a limited edition of prints. The image of a young girl hugging a military bomb is classically Banksy in its satirical commentary on violence and war and its dark humor. Today, we see the iconic stencil piece gets transformed by STUDIO PERFECT into a three-dimensional figurine that stands 320mm tall. The sculpture is pretty loyal to the original artwork, replicating the young girl’s ponytail and schoolgirl attire. For a retail price of ¥48,600 JPY (approximately $429 USD), you can pre-order the STUDIO PERFECT Bomb Hugger Figurine"

monkey sign:
hypebeast.com/2017/1/banksy-medicom-toy-monkey-sign-statue

"The UK’s most mysterious and prolific artist Banksy has released a very limited run of designer toys. Called the “Monkey Sign” statue, this is only Banksy’s third statue creation for the mass market. Working with Medicom Toy, the 14″ figure falls under the brand’s “BRANDALISM” section and features a monkey wearing a sign that says “DO NOTHING YOU’LL LIVE LONGER.” The figure is constructed of resin, and was available at retailers such as TOYKIO for €599 EUR (approximately $630 USD). While it’s sold out now, keep an eye out for this piece to pop up elsewhere."

Hi, I might be bringing this thread to life, but I have a question. Medicom released the sucide bomber which...even if it expensive for a toy I would like to have, but I think that the page to buy from overseas is not working

Had anyone else have this issue?

www.medicomtoy.co.jp/search/12107.html

Also, the other toys were released for a limited time, not limited edition, do any one here understand if this bomber will follow the same dynamic? With the other figures, even in japanese it was clear, but for this one I don't understand.

I don't think you can buy from Medicom outside Japan. You'll have to find another store selling them.

I've not seen this "Suicide Man" statue before... I hope Pest Control sue them!
The others were a 3D version of a Banksy stencil... but this is a direct reproduction of an existing Banksy artwork. Dodgy ground!

The suicide bomber was displayed during the Banksy vs Bristol museum in 2009 I think you can even see it in the trailer he released in YouTube.

In Medicom there is a link to buy overseas

I was not really convinced about the others, but I liked a lot this rendition of the David

[Happy Shopper]

If anyone is wondering about these, then I just had confirmation from Pest Control that these are not endorsed by Banksy and he has not been involved in any way.

Just to remove any doubt!

This is a late late reply
Thanks happyshopper. Yep they are not related to Banksy in anyway, This one even has some slight differences from the original sculpture. But right now it is the closest thing I can get to a Banksy. 

It is damn expensive for a toy, but probably if I have an opportunity to acquire a Banksy in the future I will be able to sell this at least for the same amount or a little less, I hope it's resale price don't crash. 

Anyway I will tell you how good or bad it is when I receive it. I bet the next one Brandalism and Medicom toys will release is the Ballerina resin sculpture. That one I think it was an edition of 6 from 2005, but right now the price is insane.
