Frank Kozik x Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi -- Candy Corn Jerome

With every kid’s (and dentist’s) favorite sweet Holiday right around the corner, Frank Kozik and the folks at Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi have whipped up a new treat for collectors.  Inspired by the treat that is at once irresistibly nostalgic yet a few pieces later is more than enough until next year, Candy Corn Jerome is the 2nd edition of Kozik’s Smorkin’ Self Serve soft vinyl  figure following the originial call it ‘vanilla’ edition which debut at this year’s SDCC. 

The insanely small edition of 50 numbered pieces will be split in half – 25 for NYCC via Clutter’s booth [#603] with the other half slated for online release from Rotofugi on (10.13). 

A quick note on “Soft Vinyl”.  Jerome is slush cast using liquid vinyl in China using a process that is extremely similar to the  method used by Japanese craftsmen to create what is commonly referred to as sofubi. Presumably in deference to the Japanese tradition, Squibbles Ink + Rotofugi have chosen the more generic/descriptive term – soft vinyl for Jerome. Kudos to them for their care and respect in describing the toy. That said, if you like the feel of Sofubi, you’re likely to enjoy these as well.
