Michael Lau + Clockwork Orange = Rad Gardener

Didn't know we could do Lau here. I loved and had most of (still have 5) of the SFCC set. Got a few odd pieces, too. Like his rougher, more sculptural stuff best.

 

so far from the picture I think both the clockwork orange and full metal jacket figures by lau are amazing. Its a must for me.

 

Vinyl Pulse posted from the opening of the Michael Lau show with pics of figs. They're all awesome, looks like its just the 3 we've seen and some random Michael Jordan figure (Not sure how that fits in with the Kubrick theme but maybe he ghost directed Space Jam) Anyways, the MFJK was an awesome suprise and it being unpainted makes me swoon.

From crazy toys

 

Jordon was one of Laus original 101 Gardeners. Being tied into Nike he managed to get official approval to do a secret 1:10 Michael Jordan variant.

Not 'random' . . . it's part of the original concept . . . if anything the Kubrick trio are the random spin-off!

Whilst I appreciate the collaborative nature of MFJK, (IMO) it kinda looks like a poor mash up (I'm sure that was intentional) . . . seems a shame the 4 designers couldn't develop something together that 'worked' in its own right, rather than just threw their token style at the same figure . . .

 

really like this one
to me simple style works well – totally into playful fisher price looks.
opposed to lau´s futura and jarvis figs,
me thinks its ok lau did this one on his own,
as mfjk looks like he created something new.
each one seems to be different - really dig that.

didn’t get, is there normal or dissected heads?
do they come with two different heads?
or can u take down one half of the face?

now if anyone needs a watch lets team up and hunt down a set!

 

I'd be down for the watch.

 

I kinda like the Kubrick Trio.

I might buy it if I had the chance at retail....

 

Double sided . . . head turns around, one side with full face and dissected on reverse.

 

sounds cool, thanks for info andy!!!

just read toysrevil questioning mfjk fig supposed
to be lau himself - with its long hair and goatee???
weird...

 

He's done many self styled figures . . . unsure if it's egotistical but it's a definte Lau thing!

 

Michael Lau.. is now a one-man Medicom

 

I love Crazy Toyz... I had no idea there was multiple colorways. So dope... never will have...

 

Crap they do sales???

 

those are so awesome Jordan23...still debating on pulling the trigger myself!

 

The price on the secret Jordan figures have already doubled from the original ebay prices...damn these people with Jordan fixations

 

i imagine that the sneakerheads also want in on the secret fig too... i like the afro one better actually

 

red & black jerseys - great pair!!! ...im jealous. fuck me for sleeping on those.

 

Hoping mine will arrive tomorrow (didn't go for the chase figure)

 

I like the Jordan x Lau stuff but you could put a 23 jersey on a turd and someone would still pay big bucks for it. I would really like to see a Strangelove, Spartacus, or the clown mask bank robbers from The Killing. I don't know if the Johnny aka Jack figure would look cool. Love the 2001 stuff though. Classic!

 

Are you talking to me? Cause...um....yeah I would buy it.

 

No not at all. Just saying some people are really fanatics over ANYTHING Jordan. Didn't mean it as a diss at all, even though your name is J23.

 

I forgot to add the little smiley face.....I was just kidding

 

Ning has the Clockwork Orange and others...

 

Yeah...and the watch set (600) and the Jordans. Lau is sorta one of those guys that got me INTO toys...I've got a book somewhere that has nice photos of all the gardner stuff...really amazing how he makes vinyl toys with cloth clothes NOT look like barbies.
