We love a James Jarvis figure over here at Clutter, so we were excited to find out that after the huge success AMOS  had with their first wood edition of YOD, One Gram  (Amos's Japanese Licensee) and Landscape Productions got together to produce a new Dark Wood version. Each figure is hand carved from untreated solid walnut and come in two parts that join together using steel magnets. Produced in Japan they are packaged in airtight bags inside a re-sealable clear plastic sphere.

James Jarvis toys are a starting to become more of a rare breed as alot of the original artists from the scene take a breather from the toy scene. So when James Jarvis does release a figure (like last years Caleb) it's gains alot of attention. This time the figure's not exactly new, cos we've all seen the YOD before but now he comes in this lovely wood finish in collaboration with Japanese design studio Landscape Products.

James Jarvis and Amos present their latest clothing releases.

Oh yeah...illustration book and some new Yods. I haven't, despite being a big JJ fan, bothered getting a Yod. As much as I like it, it hasn't been a "must have" for me. But these new versions look interesting, almost a Jarvis platform toy!

Woo yeah new Jarvis stuff always goes down a treat in my house. First time I saw Yodzine I was a bit "WTF?!" but the character has grown on me now and is probably the purest interpretation on the classic Potato Head.

Just thought i'd reiterate what Russell posted over on the Amos Toys blog. Don't cave in and pay over the odds for a White YOD figure from eBay as the SDCC figures were just a Special early release, there will be more of the same version coming in September. YOD will also be available in 6 other colourways with the white being the Amos exclusive. Don't cave to the flippers. Listen to Russell, the man speaks the truth.... even if he is a Spurs supporter ;)
