Dutch artist Parra and Toykyo has released the new 'Take a Rest' Sculpture Black Edition to finish off the series that they started not too long ago.

As a refresher, the collaboration between the artist and the creative agency came together to produce a penguin with heels for arms and legs sitting in a resting position; the first release saw the [red and blue colorways](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ralph-pucci-pure-exhibition). For the finale, the two are putting out the 'Take a Rest' Sculpture Black Edition featuring the exact same sculpture, but in a much darker tone.

The 'Take a Rest' Sculpture Black Edition is said to be the most exclusive one in the series with [only 20 to be produced](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skullpanda-my-melody). The figurine has been released so if you want to grab one, I suggest you start hunting immediately.
