I, WZL
Designed by WZL
Height: 9cm

WZL, the Beijing-based designer, is known for his multi-layer vector designs. The charcter I, WZL came from his own iconic that he designed back in 2003, back then, there was only the head, no body. In late 2005, Eddi worked with WZL to develop the whole character, and officially named it "I". Stage 1 of this collaboration was to turn the character into a designer vinyl and then the rest will follow.

I, WZL was the first designer vinyl that was designed and produced in Mainland China. Released in March of 2006, a "platform toy" exhibition was then held in June of 2006, which involved 102 Mainland designers using "I" as the common platform.
