Gutter Kawaii – Bird Wizard
By Ironhaus Productions
Objective:
Gutter Kawaii is a new brand of minifigures from Ironhaus Productions. The original release of these figures, on January 26th of this year, was a yellow-ish figure with an ink wash (called “Antique Style” in the store). A more recent release has the figures cast in unwashed, basic colors.
The figure comes with a small two-inch, square trading card.
The back of the header card is different from the back of the Lieutenant of Doom.
The figure is smaller than the two-inch card. It is approximately 1 1/4-inch tall.
The figure cost $12, plus shipping.
The Ironhaus Productions blog suggested that there are “a couple surprises throughout this batch.” This figure appears to be a regular version.
Subjective:
I wish that I could say more about this figure. I wish I could properly articulate my feelings. I can’t.
I simply love this figure. He is a Bird Wizard.
Like I said in the Lieutenant of Doom review, I was surprised people were “meh” about the antique style. I think it may be the secret to this figure’s success.
Don’t get me wrong. This sculpt is fucking awesome. But the wash really makes it pop!I think the wash is key to the skull. It makes the skull scarier, which helps the bird look sillier. I don’t know if that was intentional, but I think it is charming. If you hear Bird Wizard, then I think “funny weirdo.” This figure perfectly captures it.
I called Jimmy the King of Microfigures in the last review, and this figure strengthens the argument.
