Nick Cave vinyl Loverman figure by Plasticgod drops in February
Plasticgod® is the artist behind the introduction of the very first, five Nick Cave vinyl figures. After selling out the first five designs in a matter of hours, Plasticgod is now releasing his Loverman figure in a limited edition of only 500 just in time for Valentine's Day.
Based on one of Nick’s most popular songs “Loverman”, Plasticgod relies on his graphic design background to create a logo mark that exemplifies the title, the symbol for man and a reverberating heart outline to complete the echoing design. This being the sixth design Plasticgod created exclusively for Nick, the Loverman figure follows the limited edition figures of Tupelo, Ship Song, Red Right Hand, You Turn Me On, and Into My Arms.
The figure will sell for $75 on Plasticgod’s website www.plasticgod.com, the beginning of February.
To learn the exact time and day of the release, shared via mailing list, fans can sign up for the exclusive announcement here: https://plasticgod.com/pages/sign-up

The Beast of Rebirth by Taylored Curiosities - £300
‘It is said that if you offer the Snail Witch the tastiest leaf, she will consider sharing her potion with you and gifting you with eternal youth…’
This piece is one of a kind, created from a mix of materials and incorporating organic textures to bring it to life.
It’s got a nice weight to it as it is made predominantly from ceramic (hollow).
Hand painted for extra details and covered in symbols.
The Snail Witch, cauldron with potion in and baby Dragon Whelp are all removable; turning this into a play set for adults and witches.
5” tall to top of body (7” to top of twig)
