Crafted in a Parisian studio using genuine entomological specimens and vintage action figures adapted from the Star Wars saga, these display cases combine beetles or farmed butterflies from the four corners of the globe (Thailand, Cameroon, Indonesia, Philippines) with characters produced by the Kenner brand between 1977 and 1985.
In this "neo-cabinet of curiosities," each figure finds its bestial avatar, winged mount, or combat partner for an intergalactic odyssey... that is full of color.
Vintage Leia Organa figure (1977)
Belenois Calypso insect (Cameroon)
