Spring Into Action (Figures)

Posted on November 28, 2007 Under Art

Some of us never quite got over our childhood obsessions. Admit it, you still have a box of G.I. Joe’s that you like to take out every once in awhile and stage epic battles with. Don’t be embarrassed there’s nothing strange about having plastic figurines fight each other to the death"¦that’s why they have a kung fu grip, so you can lay the smack down.

However, heroes change with age and while you may no longer worship at the altar of He-Man, that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to celebrate your newer esteemed icons in little plastic form. Enter Mike Leavitt, CEO, sole employee, and manufacturing machine of Intuition Kitchen Productions; The Seattle-based visual artist is responsible for creating a kickass line of one-of-a-kind action figures of artists and celebrities with painstaking detail. Now your fantasy of having Han Solo thwart an evil plot by The Three Headed Tesh Bolton Kenny G Monster aboard the Death Star can finally be realized…or if you’d just rather stage a meeting between Skeletor and Andy Warhol at "the Factory," that can be arranged too.
