VINYL ARTIST MICHAEL LAU DOING METAL GEAR CROSSOVER?
If you’ve never heard his name, a little introduction: Hong Kong artist Michael Lau is one of the progenitors of the urban/vinyl toy scene, having curated his line of Gardeners for over a decade now, and remains one of the scene’s most original and influential artists.
His yearly CSBOOTH exhibit at his personal HK gallery always ends up spawning at least one completely wicked design (see: CSBOOTH15’s 2001: A Space Odyssey crossover fig), and it’s looking like CSBOOTH16 is going to be no exception.
The flier at above right has recently been making the rounds, showing an unmistakably Metal Gear-ish motif, followed by that pixelated preview which, shrunk down (via crazytoyz), is starting to snap into focus as what would appear to be one of his miniature Square figures in Snake’s signature Metal Gear Solid 3 alligator-mask.
That’s all we’ve got to go on for now, but CSBOOTH16 will open a week from Saturday, and all will be revealed.
