Knockman @ Hero Design Studio

Posted on August 16, 2007 Under Design

Meet the Knockman Family: Cha Cha, Kerotama, Koron, Pororon and Knockman himself — all members of a strangely endearing/possibly highly irritating wind-up toy family, newly in stock at Hero Design Studio (who also, as it turns out, are some of the nicest people like, ever.) According to the Hero team, the last Knockman series sold out at lightening speed last year, so expect these ones to be no different — they even have their own MTV spots and a totally kitschy website, if you want to see them in action before you plop down your plastic. Designed by Japanese artist-musicians Maywa Denki, the little guys dance, bash and knock against eachother like any hyperactive ensemble to create a uproarious symphony of amusement — without the emo-hair and Klonopin dependencies, obvs.
