Noferin and the Cuteness Factor
Friday, June 13th, 2008
SuperPunch posted images last night of Noferin’s totally kawaii upcoming figures, and saw it as my opportunity to finally post about them. They’ve been patiently waiting in my “Things to Post” file. Now, this might end up being a rather long post… since I plan on including tidbits of both the artists and the figures… so, you’ve been warned.
Who is Noferin? When visiting their site I was able to gather that they (1 boy, 1 girl) are a collaborative partnership. The girl, Candy, expresses her talent on a blank canvas. And the boy, Nicho, focuses on the world that is Noferin, plus the wood sculpting. They had their first show in March of 2007, and this is the first time I hear of them releasing their own figures; all of which are made out of wood and are limited to 200 pieces. That means, I’ll have one of each please. Most of their work is infused with lots of nature themes, which I think is clear through their preferred choice of wood. It seems Nicho is studying (or studied) in a science related field.
So, who are their upcoming characters? You’re going to have to hit the jump to find out.
