I have been collecting designer toys since 2004 and this is my weekly column. I also have other interests (I am for example the Curator of the Breyer Horses and Warne’s Observer’s Pocket Books and generally am known to add anything cute to my collection).
This week’s Art Toy of the Week is Tsuchi by DGPH and produced by Munky King back in 2009. This is a curious figure that sits 6″ tall and was released in three colourways in limited numbers.
DGPH says of the figure’s character: “Tsuchi is Father Earth, the oldest god and wisest being that has ever lived. Seated on his throne in the planet’s core, he rules the seas and the land, surrounded by his little minions. His upper half controls all the nice good things that happen in the world, while his bottom half rules the mysterious dark side. The energy caused by the friction of his internal struggle keeps the planet on its rotation. As long as both sides keep up the fight, life will continue its natural course.”
Standard Tsuchi
A tricky figure to hunt out now, but if you do find one they’re not usually badly priced.
