上個月21日，WaCowLA 受邀出席 Nakanari 與 Kidrobot 聯名合作的公仔發表簽名會，以下是專訪內容:
W: 這次與 Kidrobot聯名，能稍微談一下合作的概念與Spiki 這個角色的創作過程嗎?
T: When I go about designing a new character or family of characters, I try to breathe life into them and give them their own life stories of who they are and how they came to be. Each of them has their own background story. For example, my Spiki is a super ninja in his mind, and he spends his time daydreaming of how he might save the world in different situations. Whatever he tries to do is accomplished in a humorous manner- he’s a lovable character with good intentions but sometimes not quite as skilled as he might think. In the end, though, he comes through and saves the day!
The idea of the Ninja Spiki dunny originated from an 8″ dunny custom that I created for a private collector. The finished piece looked great and was one of the favorites that I had done, so we (Mai Hiro) pitched the design for the mini series. In order to distinguish it from other figures in the series, we added more intricate details like Spiki’s flowing red scarf and a bloody splattered bandage. I’m happy with the final production version and how close it was to my original design.
W: 透過這個 Dunny Series 2012，你希望傳達給大家甚麼訊息?
T: Every toy has its own message and concept behind its production. The Dunny is one of the most popular mini-series since the designer toy movement was brought to America and became huge. When facing the challenge of designing something original for a blank canvas figure that has been around for years, I just let my mind wander to bring a unique composition to reality. I didn’t worry about what has been done in the past, I just did my own thing and remembered that creativity is beautiful and can move people to feel happy.
W: 我們都知道你在公仔設計的領域小有名氣，那亞洲的粉絲朋友跟歐美的粉絲朋友在跟你的互動上會有很大的差別嗎?
