#NeverBeenMade: GLAM BEASTS by Patricio Oliver + DGPH


Spotted this 80s-fueled retro awesomeness on Patricio Oliver'a Facebook and needed to find out what they were and where they are now! Turns out they were done for now defunct brand "Red Magic", featuring both his designs, and fellow Argentinian designers DGPH on the 3" tall "Animody" figure!

Read on for a lil'Q&A I had with PO! and more images to gawk at, along with Song Lists I requested, to go with the designs! Because, how can you go retro without retro-tunes, yeh? LOL


TOYSREVIL: I am loving the retro-design and vibe! Give us a lowdown on who did what, and what your inspiration was for the designs!
PATRICIO OLIVER: My gang was more like a glam rock/ new romantic late 70s early 80s gang and DGPH had to do a more rapper bling bling thing. The result was bizarre! ahhahahaha

In my case I used to work for clubs and electronic parties back then and I used everything I had from flyers and invitation to design this bizarre retro guys. The movie Warriors is a huge inspiration. Liquid sky too.

TOYSREVIL: I don't recognize the figure. although they remind me of Playmobil body-types!
PATRICIO OLIVER: The Animodys was one of Red Magic 3 inches platforms the idea was to boost the platform with new designs but the figures were never produced. This how they look in real life (not our designs) …
