Plastic Culture News: MEGA – Newest DIY Platform from Middle East

MEGA is the newest DIY Bad Boy in town. Standing at 8 inches tall, this DIY Platform is made by an artist named Mo Abedin, who is based out of Dubai. He is also the owner and founder of a company called Foo Dog. Looking at the platform closely, this DIY unifies couple of DIY into one. The body is similar to one of MadL, the hand curves is pretty standard across most DIY, and the head resembles Munny by Kidrobot. Although that is the case, MEGA has this attitude that none of the other DIY toys have.

MEGA is clearly the first Do-It-Yourself Vinyl Figure out of Middle East. This shows that the Designer Toys movement has clearly gone global! Recently they, just hold custom show (shown above).

‘Project: MEGA’ is the initiative of the Foo Dog a Dubai based urban arts collaborative and is the The Largest Artistic Collaboration and Designer Toys Exhibition in the Middle East featuring 100 of Dubai’s most creative talents and 100 customized MEGA’s.

‘Project: MEGA’ launched on May 26th 2010 at the Gate Village in the Dubai International Financial Center and runs till the end of June 2010.
