Material: Individually hand-painted poly-resin. Historic & Collector's BackgroundThe Bad Taste Bears collection was the brainchild of designer Peter Underhill, who first conceived the concept in the mid-1990s as an antidote to overly cute merchandise. The first figurines were released by Piranha Studios in 1999 and became globally famous for their irreverent, tongue-in-cheek humor, often bordering on shock value.Figurines released between 1999 and 2008 by Piranha Studios (or later, OddCo) are considered part of the Original Retired Series and are highly prized by collectors worldwide. This Mr. Magica figurine is a perfect example from that desirable early era, having been launched by Piranha Studios in 2003 and retired just two years later in 2005. The inclusion of the original box with the "WARNING CONTENTS MAY OFFEND" and Piranha Studios labels makes this a complete and valuable collector's item.
