Asterisk has tapped How2work for the ‘AHHA’ project, a collaboration between the two that is focused on producing collectible vinyl figures. This project recruits Tim Comix by Marti Guerrero, a terrestrial and extraterrestrial monster that was created to spread happiness using his whimsical and amusing facial expressions. Through this character, Guerrero is able to convey a wide range of stories about a multitude of topics, including fears, love, longing, hope, and dreams.
Tim Comix's story is as follows: “With the landing of a meteorite into the residual waters of the Mexico City canals, a chemical reaction between organic material from the meteorite and bacterial material from the residual waters occurred. That night, Tim was born.”
The new figure uses bright blue coloring with green, burgundy, and pink accents. Contrasting black is used to highlight these colors, and the figure may be posed in a multitude of ways because of its extensive articulation.
On October 22 at 8 a.m. UST, the Asterisk x How2work AHHA Tim Comix by Mart Guerrero collectible figure will be released only through Asterisk.
