The OOP Series By Coarse features two toys depicting figures in an embryonic state. The name Oop comes from the specific stage that the vinyl toys are meant to resemble: Oocyte Phase.
The baby figures in the OOP Series By Coarse are 7-inch replicas of two life-sized sculptures that were on display in 2010 during a Coarse solo exhibit titled Glimpse of Truth.
The embryo toys come in white and blush -- soothing, innocent-infant colors. Each pair comes with signed birth certificates as if you’re actually receiving two young'ns. The OOP Series By Coarse went on sale on March 8. Only 200 of these collectible pieces will be released -- will you be picking up a pair of the unborn vinyl figures?
