“Pillaging Pop Culture” Custom The Muppets Blind Box Series Wave 1 by Task One

“Pillaging Pop Culture” Custom The Muppets Blind Box Series Wave 1 by Task One - Fozzie Bear, Kermit the Frog & Rowlf

This Sunday, March 10th, Tenacious Toys will be releasing the first wave of Task One’s new Pillaging Pop Culture Series featuring everyone’s favorite puppets, The Muppets! This new blind box series is a tribute to today's lowbrow artists who are pillaging icons from our childhood to sell art. Task One does it again by transforming our favorite characters into incredibly detailed custom vinyl figures. Is there anyone this talented artist can’t transform into a vinyl figure?
