American toy designer and artist Jason Freeny has expanded his range of XXRAY collectibles, this time featuring an anatomical Garfield.
The iconic orange tabby cat is shown with half of his body as a colorful X-ray, with his skeleton oozing cheesy lasagna—Garfield's very favorite dish. The toy stands at 8 inches tall, and is constructed with vinyl and PVC materials. XXRAY Plus Garfield is available for pre-order from the Mighty Jaxx web store, where the collectible can be purchased for $149 USD. Consumers can expect pre-order shipments to start in February 2021.
As a unique interpretation of the sarcastic cartoon character, the toy is sure to appeal to both Garfield fans and dedicated vinyl collectors.
