Benson Wong x Steppyplus x Unbox – Stepo The Explorer

HK designer Benson Wong has collaborated with space-age bag maker Steppyplus to create the  Stepo The Explorer vinyl figures.  First off, these are to use a very technical term, ‘super cool’. First there’s the stylish urban vinyl aesthetic which Benson is seemingly working to bring back. In addition to Stepo, he also created Lazy the sloth, now available as a vinyl from Devil Toys.

If you look closely  at the set of eyes peering at you from under the shiny clear dome(removable), it appears Stepo just might be a penguin.  More?  Stepo is a space explorer right?  The astronaut helmet and the ray gun say yes, while the  jacket and boots say outdoor adventurer.  Complicating things, note that the grey edition features a camping style backpack while the red features a rocket pack – that’s right,  they have  different gear. Stepo seems ready for adventure, here on Earth or on a far flung planet.

These were first released at Shanghai Toy Show and will be released shortly from Unbox who produced the sweet new toys. So far Unbox has said the drop is ‘next weekend’ which likely means Saturday May 5th  (7AM PDT?).
