Licensed statue company PureArts announces that they are launching a new designer toy brand (the name of the project to remain secret until February 21). The goal of this new mystery brand is to help and support talented artists by bringing their creations to collectible life.

For their first release, PureArts is teaming up with futuristic mech artist DayToner to create Master 9 Eyes (M9E), a cool-looking samurai sword-wielding robot. To launch as a Kickstarter project February 4, the M9E art toy will be available in two different sizes:  one a massive 1/6 scale polyresin (12 inch) statue and one a 1/12 (6 inch) scale vinyl art toy. With enough support, PureArts hopes to release additional surprises.

To get collectors excited about this new project, PureArts has set up a contest for a chance to win a 1/6 M9E statue for free! Click the image below to enter.
