The Biggest of the Big, A True Crescent City Shot Caller, Has Arrived as an Art Toy “Z’Bo”

New Orleans- Compton III’s debut original art toy, SPY BOY, has some company with the arrival of his potna, Z’Bo! Though this superstar towers over SPY BOY in height, he shares the kindred spirit of a New Orleans legend. Word around the barbershop is that Z’Bo holds the key to the city. Laced with bold hues and accent pieces tinted with 24karat gold color, you might as well refer to him as Mr. New Orleans— the biggest of big, Crescent City true shot caller.

Z'Bo is the latest art toy from Compton’s featured series including his debut original art toy titled, SPY BOY. On Saturday, July 30, 2022, Axiom Art Gallery will host the official release of the original art toy, Z’Bo, by Compton III in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Bigshot Exclusive Black & Gold Dalek Space Monkey Drops Friday 3pm EST

BUY IT HERE: https://bigshottoyshop.com/

The Space Monkey is a classic and iconic character created by James "Dalek" Marshall. Appearing frequently throughout Dalek's oeuvre starting in his graff in 1995, the Space Monkey has evolved over the years to become one of the most recognizable characters in the scene. The Space Monkey is a representation of humanity and its ever changing relationship to itself and its evolving world. We are huge fans of Dalek's artwork, so it was a true treat to work on the Space Monkey in all its wacky, colorful goodness.

The 3DRetro Space Monkeys were designed, sculpted and produced by Bigshot Toyworks. They stand 6.25" tall and are made of vinyl. Each colorway includes a mallet and a knife accessory, packed safely into an inner tray inside an art box adorned with Dalek artwork. Articulation includes shoulders, waist and a super posable ball jointed neck.

Each colorway is $100, and each is limited to 100 pieces, with only 80 per colorway made available online as the shop exclusive releases.

The Bigshot Black & Gold Space Monkey drops at 3PM EST on June 17th at bigshottoyshop.com
