The Reliquary For Broke Piggy at Dcon

A receptacle for the holy!
A vessel for a collected soul.
Bound with artful craft and arcane Magiks.
Residing out of time, waiting for a new beginning.

Commune with a spirit from your collection.
Insert your chosen Spirit Battery into the slot at the rear of the head.
Then facilitate temporary transfer to communicate.

Customised WNDGO resin figure by Scott Tolleson.
Resin, Acrylic, Lead, ABS, 100 Year Old Nails, Light up LED unit.
6” tall.

Once again Broke Piggy are joining forces with the art toy mastermind Scott Tolleson to bring a custom show to DesignerCon. This time it is the turn of WNDGO. A masked enigma, eliciting echos of folklore and shadowy realms.

The all-star line up for this show is truly stellar. And Doktor A is honoured to be among the ranks.

His piece “The Reliquary” will be on display and available at booth No. 1618 for the weekend.

It is highly recommended that you visit the show if you are at the convention to take in the best the designer toy world has to offer.

The kings of awesome action figures, Four Horseman Studios are at DesignerCon in Las Vegas this year. They are launching their latest selection of amazing releases, including the new Valiant Knight figure.

He will be available to purchase from the Four Horsemen booth, No. 1811. Or contact Doktor A beforehand if you are interested in adding him to your collection.

Mounted and vigilant!
Always ready for battle!
If kept stoked he will guard you indefinitely.
