Plaseebo Custom will announce and preview a new figure at SDCC. The “Night Gamer” figure was conceived by Bill Hand and co-designed and sculpted by Bill Hand and Bob Conge. The 7 inch Night Gamer will be roto-cast in a clear pink vinyl with transparent sprays and have a glow in the dark vinyl brain inside the see-thru head. Eyes will be inset cast plastic. The package illustration was done by our third Plaseebo artist John Kastner. The Night Gamer is in production now and should drop in late August or early September on the Plaseebo website. As with all of Plaseebo Customs releases, the color-way editions will be strictly limited. Hand painted vinyl test samples will be on display at the SDCC in the Toy Tokyo booth.
