Usugrow presents REBEL INK



Rebel Ink was designed by Japanese Artist and Icon Usugrow. This figure is produced by Secret Base and initially released in two colorways, black and white. Since it's initial release Rebel Ink has become one of the most popular figures in the designer toy scene. To my knowledge there are seven different editions of Rebel Ink that have released so far. The sculpt is the same on all editions, there's just slight differences in color scheme and in one case tattoo print. The SDCC version has the most variation compared to the rest, the stomach tattoo actually spells SDCC and it sports a completely different back piece than the others(pictured below... Thanks Joe).





Rebel Ink Edition List:
  • Black with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
  • White with black love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
  • Smoke Grey with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
  • Milky White with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
  • White(Golden Week) with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back
  • Blue(SDCC) with silver SDCC print on the stomach, and variant silver print on the back
  • Blue with silver love/hate print on the stomach, and silver print on the back



This is such a popular sculpt that I'm pretty sure more editions are bound to drop. The only one I have right now is the 4th Edition(Milky White), but eventually I plan to track them all down... I know it's gonna cost me a pretty penny though.







Usugrow has collaborated with different companies to produce shirts, prints and even skatedecks(pictured below are samples of his other work).
