Artist Shepard Fairey has collaborated with STRANGEco to release his first vinyl figure in over a decade. The figure, Mr. Spray, is is based on an original character created by Fairey in 2004 as a street-art appropriation of an advertising character design from the 1950s.

Like many artists these days, Fairey, who has always made a point of making sure his art is accessible to the masses, is using the product as an alternative yet equally viable medium for his work. Mr. Spray is being released in four limited edition color variants: red, black, gold and silver.

The first two, which are limited to 350 pieces each, are available now for pre-order ($84.00) through STRANGEco’s online shop. The gold and silver versions (shown below, limited to 200 and 100 pieces) are OBEY and STRANGEco special editions. The former’s pricing and release info are forthcoming, while the silver version will be available at Comic-Con 2010 in San Diego (July 22-25) and also through Strangeco.com.

Mr. Spray is a rotocast vinyl figure, standing 11 inches tall. He has four points of articulation and comes packaged with an OBEY mini stencil in an illustrated card box.
