DKE Toys will be exhibiting at San Diego Comic Con 2022 again this year with a ton of fantastic resin figures and bootleg toys, including this amazing collab between Ghanaian movie poster artist Magasco and Luke Chueh curated by DKE Toys and Deadly Prey Gallery. For this release Magasco has recreated a number of iconic movie posters but incorporated Chueh’s beloved sad emo bear. A 3.75” resin emo bear was then attached to the 12”x9” painted wood panel transforming it into blister card packaging.
Luke Chueh went on to say, “I don’t know if I’ve ever said this, but I freaking love Ghanaian movie poster art. The “naive” art style, coupled with over the top violence speaks to me on so many different levels. Though the hand painted movie posters are no longer being used, the style and aesthetic are still very much alive, and Ghanaian artists are now being commissioned by collectors and fans”
Limited to 40 signed and numbered pieces, these Bear Wars paintings and resin figures can be purchased at the DKE Toys SDCC booth #2643 for $200. In an effort to not alienate their online customer base that DKE Toys has cultivated over the past few years, they will be offering all exclusives for sale online first at noon PT on Friday, July 15th, at DKEToys.com/store.
