Extremely limited edition Android EL01 Torso Ver.1 resin art statue figurine by Japanese artist Prototype "K" and renowned studio Manas S+U+M.

Created in collaboration with Japanese artist Prototype "K", this exclusive hand-painted art piece is limited to 200 pieces worldwide.

Unveiled in the 2021 toys & collectibles WONDER Festival (the world's largest modeling and model exhibition since 1984), the Android EL01 Torso is carefully crafted one by one with high quality resin. The figurine is about 33.5cm in height (including base) and it comes in a beautiful deluxe box with certificate of authenticity and an acrylic pedestal for display.

THE PROCESS

Inspired by the aesthetics of Ex Machina "Ava" robotic character, the work as a whole maintains K’s original artistic fingerprint. In order to better show the skin texture of the work, after trying different attempts and production approaches, K and the Mana SUM team decided to use the process of creating movie props to present the skin part of the work, resulting in a more realistic and authentic expression of texture.

THE ARTIST

A former automotive designer, K started to get involved in the field of prototyping in order to let more people understand his aesthetic heart.

K hopes to show the public his interpretation of "life continuation" through the beautiful fusion of humanoid biology and machinery.
