The newest Karl Lagerfeld toy is a manga-inspired vinyl figurine that comes from an Italian living in Los Angeles.  I guess it takes that many layers of cultural mingling to create this 10″ tall Tokidoki piece.  Artist Simone Legno ran Tokidoki as a personal portfolio before the founders of Hard Candy moved him to LA and built Tokidoki into a well rounded street brand.

Lil manga Karl wears all K Karl Lagerfeld and will be featured on K Karl Lagerfeld T-shirts next spring.  The figurine looks like its namesake circa 2004, soon after his diet.  Lagerfeld is now into Tom Ford’s more muscular cuts.

The figurines will come in an edition of 1,000 and will go for 129 euros, or about $190.  Colette will launch them next month, and then they’ll be available at Todoki stores in New York, Milan and Los Angeles as well as some more stores around the holidays.
