It’s happening…it’s really happening. Mark Ryden is coming out with his first vinyl toy, slated for a mid-summer release from Necessaries Toy Foundation.
Ryden let his son Jasper choose the design; a three-eyed, bunny-eared, amorphous totem from the painting entitled YHWH.
The original painting:

Even the box is predictably phenomenal:
I wish all of Ryden’s characters would be manifested in 3-D.

The next new item is the collectors edition Tree Show book.
This hard-bound book includes over 130 color images of paintings, drawings, studies and sculptural works as well as a wealth of Mark’s inspirational reference materials. Each signed and numbered Special Edition book comes in a handmade clamshell box covered in a fine Japanese silk. The edition also comes with a collection of “Vintage Souvenirs” including a postcard set, commemorative pin, pennant, bookmark and pencil.
Sadly, though I’m absolutely salivating over this book, I can’t spare $350.00 for it. But what a fantastic item for serious collectors.
