The Erosion Move figure from INSTINCTOY in its NEO CHROME colourway, the first colour of the series: a chrome-silver girl with small horns, a cropped jacket and glowing blue and violet sneakers.
The Piece
INSTINCTOY is the Tokyo studio of Hiroto Ohkubo, whose Erosion figures, with their melting surfaces and drips of colour, brought the Japanese soft vinyl tradition into the world of contemporary art toys. The Erosion Move line gives the studio’s characters a streetwear stance, dressing them in oversized jackets and chunky trainers.
This NEO CHROME example is finished in a mirror-like silver over the whole figure, from the bobbed hair and two short horns to the quilted cropped jacket, the wide shorts and the heavy-soled sneakers, which fade into blue and violet at the soles. The face is painted with large aqua eyes and a pink mouth, giving a cool, slightly sullen expression. The illustrated card included with the figure shows the character drawn in white line on a violet ground.
The first colourway of a series is usually the one collectors pursue most, and chrome finishes are among INSTINCTOY’s most sought after.
