First Vinyl Toy!!

I am very excited to announce the first vinyl toy released by Hints and Spices!! Designed by Shane Haddy, with line work by TOVI and sculpted by a very talented Japanese sculptor, Makino-San of TTToys!

A creature in it's own right, this unnamed chubby beast is derived from developmental concepts of elephant/crocodile combinations. He is currently in the wax stage, ready to be made into iron tooling for Japanese vinyl production. You will be able to see the original sculpt at the launch event on the 28th of May.

Also available at the launch will be a limited edition resin cast run ;) - more details later

    A name that is being used at the moment is Waniphant. Wani is Japanese for crocodile/alligator.
