Not sure how I stumbled upon the Tainer Boy figure, but there is something about it I find cute. Recreating an object favored by Graffiti artists, TWA (Toyz Wit Attitudes) has put a shipping container on top of a little person. Is it very original? No. However, in the same vain as other Graffiti 'objects' like All City Style trains or the Box Truck from TYO Toys it's all about which artist is working with it. This will definitely speak to a certain type of artist more than others, but judging by the customs shown from Serbasiko. Bazak, Si3N, and Bisual the platform definitely has some potential. While not in production yet, these 3.7" figures might be available soon. Go follow T.W.A. on their facebook page to keep up with release info.
from T.W.A.:
Tainer Boy was born not so long ago and is the result of the union between designers, graffiti artists and toy lovers Bisual and Bazak. Tainer Boy belongs to the brand name T.W.A, which is the acronym to Toyz Wit Attitudes. Our idea was to create a toy for graffiti artists, but with one goal in mind: become a platform where designers of any kind and any place in the world can contribute. We then had the idea to give “life” to a port container.So far, we have produced only a few units using traditional tools aimed to some artists, but our intention is go ahead with a limited production that should be available very soon. We will keep you informed.
