Duckhead x Merry Go Round – Bream Man debuts at TTE

Bream Man, a koi fish dude strolling along with sack in hand, is one of Korean artist Duckhead’s main characters.  He’s released many colors and versions of the resin figure including several at the recent Shanghai Toy Show.  Now he’s teamed up with Merry Go Round on an excellent new version which appears to be a production run—perhaps in vinyl. The brand will debut the new Bream Man at Thailand Toy Expo (5.3 – 5.6) in booth A21.  While similar to the resins, the new figure seems to feature additional sculptural elements (ridging on the fins) as well as sharper, crisper paint.  From the photos it appears that Bream Man balances with a stylish lean on the bag and the two feet.  Really nice piece blending the familiar urban aesthetic with an eclectic, unexpected character.
