Cavey x Jon-Paul Kaiser

A plush toy that resembles a cartoonish character with a distinct facial expression. The character has a large, round head with two pointed ears on top. It has a prominent beard and mustache, and its eyes are wide open, giving it a somewhat surprised or curious look. The toy is predominantly white with black outlines, giving it a sketch-like appearance. There is a tag on the toy that reads "CAVER".Born into the greyness of England at the end of the Seventies, by the age of four Jon-Paul Kaiser knew that what he wanted to do in life was a draw. From that point he rarely strayed from that path; scribbling and doodling his way through School, College and University. After working with Porlzilla, Jon-Paul decided to go it alone concentrating at first on the toy customization scene, building up a name and strong reputation for himself with his stark Black & White custom style, influenced by comic book art, film noir & Ukiyo-e prints. This lead to him being approached by established toy producers for designs for their platform toys. Principally amongst these are Toy2R who have released numerous JPK Platforms. Cavey is a plush series by A Little Stranger. Each Cavey is lovingly handmade in the UK and come in many breeds, each with their own unique personalities. Caveys love humans, but they’re very shy, so they disguise themselves as everyday objects so they can observe us. If you find one be sure to say “Hey Cavey!” because they just want to be friends! Behind every Cavey is a focus on unique, handmade, quality collectibles for grown ups. Each breed will be released in small numbers before being discontinued. Every Cavey comes in a drawstring bag, ready to keep him safe on his adventures with you! It's Cavey's 1st Birthday and he wants to party with you!
