PLASTIC & PLUS

Gure iritzia
JudasZ-ren irudia ikusita, Astro Boy, Panda Z eta artista beraren eragina izan duela sumatzen da. Judasen webgunera joaten bazara, konturatuko zara irudiak artistaren antza duela.
Nork ez luke nahiko PVCko gizon bat burusoila izatea? (Binilo rotocast moduko bat sentitzen du) Jostailu burusoilek ez dute beren homologo adarzabalen errespetu bera. Horregatik, asko gustatzen zaigu pieza honen diseinua. Itxura dibertigarria duen pertsonaia bat da.
Kalitateari dagokionez, uste dut irudi horietako gehienak hainbat galeria-ikuskizunetan erakutsi direla. Kaxatik atera berriak senti ez zitezen. Junturak askatu samarrak zeuden, baina ez zegoen pintura-markarik.
Zifra nahiko handia da, 14 metro ingurukoa. Eta bekainak bezalako hazpegiak zizelkatu ditu, ilea atzealdean eta sudur txiki bat.
Oro har, uste dugu JudasZ pertsonaia dibertigarrienetako bat dela. Oso pieza berezia da, artistak berak modu independentean ekoitzi eta banatu duena.

Our Opinion

Looking at the JudasZ figure, you get the sense that it’s been influenced by Astro Boy, Panda Z and the artist himself.  If you go to Judas’ website, you’ll notice that the figure looks eerily similar to the artist.

So, who wouldn’t want a PVC figure with male pattern baldness?  (It actually sort of has a rotocast vinyl feel to it)  Balding toys don’t get the same respect as their bouffant haired counterparts.  And for that reason, we really like the design of this piece.  It’s just a fun looking character.

As far as quality, I believe that most of these figures have been displayed in various gallery shows.  So they might not look or feel fresh out of the box.  The joints were a little loose, but there was no paint transfer or marks on the piece.

The figure is pretty large, measuring in close to 14” tall.  And it has sculpted features such as the eyebrows, flared hair in the back and a little nose.

Overall, we think JudasZ is one of the more entertaining characters we’ve stumbled upon.  It’s a very unique piece that’s been independently produced and distributed by the artist himself.
