Multidisciplinary artist VERDY has unveiled his newest collectible, a plush toy character named 'VISTY.' According to the artist, the playful piece was created to celebrate his solo 'RISE ABOVE' exhibit in Tokyo, Japan.
The toy itself is a cuddly, monster-like character featuring a subdued color scheme consisting of green, blue, pink, and yellow hues. In addition, VISTY is made from several different materials; its arms, legs, and head come in a unique fur fabric, while its belly and feet feature a ribbed suede material. Other notable details include VISTY's bright white eyes, metallic silver claws, and two large front teeth.
The new plush toy will be released through a lottery on December 9, the final day of VERDY's 'RISE ABOVE' exhibition.
