Nathan Hamill will be debuting Lavabear, his newest vinyl figure, later this month at San Diego Comic-Con 2014! The Lavabear was once a shapeless, colorless being created from stardust by The Those. Over time, he rose into a vibrant, ursine-esque creature whose sole purpose was to guard the entrance to the Sacred Realms of Märchen and, along with it, its memories, treasures, and secrets. The legend goes that if awoken from his deep hibernation, those foolhardy enough to trespass on his Sacred Grounds will be met with a terrible and ancient wrath.
For its first release, the Lavabear will sport this “Classic” colorway, which pays tribute to Disney’s Mickey Mouse. Pretty awesome, right? I love the mixture of Hamill’s signature art style with the color scheme of Mickey. The San Diego Comic-Con 2014 Exclusive Classic Edition Lavabear vinyl figure stands 8” tall, is limited to just 125 pieces and will retail for $80 exclusively at the 3DRetro SDCC booth #5049.
