Super Malfi Inflatable Bop Bag NEW RARE 52" Friends With You Loyal Subjects Art

Description: New in box. Box has some damage. Back in 2011, The Loyal Subjects collaborated with the wild, crazy, magical and supremely talented Friends with You on the Mr. TTT Bop Bag. Now the two have revisited the sold-out success of that first release with the brand-new Super Malfi Bop Bag. The 52” piece brings one of FWY’s most beloved characters to life as a fun inflatable art toy. Just like your favorite classic bop bags, the Polka dot colored Super Malfi will always pop back up, ready for more action. Limited to 350 pieces Friends With You's latest toy line is the appropriately named Wish Come True. Based around the concept of making anyone's wish come true, similar in fashion to what a genie does, all characters are assigned lucky numbers and come packaged blind boxed. One other similarity between all models of toys in this line is that they all have weighted bottoms and built-in bell chimes giving each one a playful rocking motion and a subtle, soothing sound reminiscent of infants' toys. There are six main "Friends" Friends With You is a commercial art collective based in Miami, Florida, founded by Sam Borkson and Arturo Sandoval in 2002, that creates designer toys, particularly plush, and modular wood toys, as well as motion graphics, stop motion animation, and art installations that incorporate music. The Friends With You website states that they "make magical toys" that "help the every day person cope with the daily routines of their every day lives." The work of Friends With You is distinguished by an aesthetic that is at once cute and bizarre, use of non-traditional materials, and a hand-made quality. Pieces are produced in small numbers, and are usually not re-released. Friends With You toys feature entirely unique character designs, which departs from the plush design tradition of anthropomorphized animals, most notably the Malfi character and its variations. In addition to their names, dolls are given fantastic personas, and their distinctive personalities are described in booklet-style tags included with the dolls. To date, Friends With You have produced 28 plush dolls, six wooden toys, and a small assortment of miniature figures. Additionally, they have exhibited work at the Hanna Gallery in Tokyo, 111 Minna Gallery in San Francisco, and the MOCA Museum of Contemporary Art Miami in Florida, and have been commissioned to create motion graphics for companies such as Sony, MTV, Nike, and Columbia Records. In October 2006, the German art press Die Gestalten Verlag published a Friends With You monograph titled Friends With You Have Powers!
