If you've seen the three-eyed Mickey from CLOT x Disney, meet the rest of the figures, which feature the infamous mouse with a new makeover from several artists.
The CLOT x Disney compilation showcased the new figures at the 'Man in the Forest' Travelling Mickey Exhibition in Shanghai. The brand asked several artists such as Dr. Romanelli, Madsaki, Andre and Mr. Cartoon to give their own interpretation of the famous character. The result is a colorful display of original, customized versions of Mickey Mouse that you won't find anywhere else. Whether the little fella has been changed into Iron Man or was given the street art treatment, all the figures are impressive and would make a great collectible if you can get your hands on one. Hopefully CLOT will consider making more of these.
