DC DIRECT- DC DESIGNER SERIES: BATGIRL BY JOSH MIDDLETON STATUE
Project manager / Art Director : Rey Taira
Sculptor : James Marsano
Assistant Sculptor : Rino Zvizdic
Prototype print : Tristan Del Giudice & DC Direct ( In house )
Painter : Michael Cowart

a fun background story:
we had a really quick turnaround on this during Toyfair 2020 this year.
it was around 3 weeks total. and we had to deliver at the end of February. ( project started on January )

At the duration of the project I was also in Japan at the time for an exhibition show, I hired Rino Zvizdic to help on modeling some of the props, back to back with me at the same time with the rest of the figure
because of our limitation in printing and time constraint, I hired my friend Tristan Del Giudice to run the printer at my studio (phrozen shuffle 2018, 50 microns) and the cape was printed using Form 2 and post processed by Rey Taira
Tristan was able to deliver the prints straight to Michael Cowart, our legendary painter.
Michael, then Delivered the painted/assembled prototype to Rey Taira ( Art Director ) and it was carried on the plane straight to New York Toy Fair.
the release date is still TBA but we are so excited that this project came to a good fruition!
it is now processing at the factory at 85%
please look forward to it!

I came up with this Backpack design with the background of having some sort of Tech to resemble gadgets used by Batman since there was no definite design in the actual concept. each artist had their own Rendition of it .
