Metamorphin Capsule Toys by Daniel Goffin

Metamorphin Capsules by Daniel Goffin

These tiny sculptures are cast in isomalt a sugar substitute frequently found in pharmaceutic and diet products. The mold is also made from food safe silicone and the capsules are made from gelatine. So basically the whole product is edible (sans the packaging, of course). However, I still wouldn't recommend swallowing it in one piece because well, I haven't tested the effects...

Metamorphin comes in a handmade blister capsule packaging and a handmade box. There will be 10 different sculptures out of which 2 will be less often and one will be a chase. I will take care not to have a set of only one sculpture but I can not promise that there won't be doubles. No single purchase will be possible. The first run of 20 will be released at my show at LA's Toy Art Gallery. LINK

Background story: After body modification nano-technology had become not only common but also fashionable one company quickly seized the opportunity to offer the ability to buy cheap, timed capsules with the ability to enhance the body and mind in almost every way imaginable. Metamorphin advertise themselves with low cost and highly satisfied customers while at the same there is very little known about longterm and side effects...

Daniel was kind enough to send me this amazing gift. It's his Maneki Tora figure cast in the same crystal sugar material. Very fragile as one of the arms broke off, but so amazing... The packaging is awesome too...Thanks Daniel!!
