Ed Acosta & Whaleboy at Wondercon '09
Ed Acosta, (one third of the Cranky Studios team) was on hand at Wondercon to sign an ample supply of original blue edition vinyl Whaleboy figures. Each 6-inch $40 figure comes with interchangeable face plates–a nice touch for easy customization on a unique toy. Jason saw the original protos for these years ago and has been following them ever since. As the encounter with Ed ignited my interest in the alternate albino and goth colorways of Whaleboy, I took a peek on Evil Bay. Although there’s an albino edition (limited to 100 pieces worldwide) signed and doodled by Patrick Morgan, Ed Acosta and Taesoo Kim for $85, the similarly small goth edition is listed at almost $400. Dang! You can order the standard blue edition for $39.95 right here.
