Benny the Dreamer is a cute (not so little) figure produced by Okedoki and VTSS Toys. Limited to 200 pieces, he stands at 11.5" and is produced from Polystone with a leather scarf. Retailing at $280 each one is individually hand painted, and is packaged in a laser etched bamboo box with metal engraved plaque stating production number.
Okedoki's intention with Benny the Dreamer:
"Iâve always loved the dichotomy of innocence and wisdom. I wanted to combine these
two aspects into one figure, and make it unified. That was how the enlightened multiple
eye rabbit came about. He represented the wisdom and clarity, the transcending force to
see beyond social and cultural constructs. Benny represents innocence and pure
emotional energy, the child in all of us.
The figure went through many stages of transformation over the year I was sculpting it,
which was reflected in my personal life. I had gotten very ill as I was in the final sculpting
phase of it, and had to focus my energy to have it completed in time to send it to Taiwan for
production.
So, this project was very significant to me, because it represents a chapter in my life that
was very challenging. So I suppose Benny also represents hope and perseverance. I
finished painting him, then gave him the name Benny the Dreamer, because I wanted Benny
to inspire others to go after their dreams; to pursue what is truly in their hearts." -Okedoki
