L.A. based pop-artist Plasticgod has created a series of Nick Cave figures that he’ll be debuting at San Diego Comic-Con on July 9th. (Also debuting at Comic-Con: new Star Wars Stormtrooper figures. Different strokes for different geeks, right?) Each is based on a Cave song title. There’s the “Red Right Hand”
Two slightly different designs for “Babe, You Turn Me On”
“Tupelo”
“The Ship Song” (Probably my favorite—the boats on his head win.)
And “Into My Arms”
Each doll will run $40—actually not terrible for an insta-collectable nowadays, and as there will evidently be only 200 made of each design and I can find no means of pre-ordering, you may have to hit Plasticgod’s web site on the 9th and hope you score. Best of luck.
Since this is the second time I’ve used the same dog-whistle as a title for a post about Nick Cave ephemera, I should probably post the song— here’s “Nick Cave Dolls,” from my favorite Bongwater LP, The Power of Pussy:
