You can now own a piece of the viral “Tumindig” artwork created by Kevin Eric Raymundo a.k.a. Tarantadong Kalbo.

Artist and custom toy maker Gino Roberto has come up with a collectible toy figure inspired by the online icon.

The three-inch all-white fist Tumindig Art Toy figure is handcrafted and made of resin material.

The public can get their hands on this limited-edition figure by ordering in advance through Gino Roberto Custom Figures Facebook page for P1,500 with P500 required down payment.

Part of the proceeds from the sale of the action figures will go to the Philippine Animation Workers Association (PAWA).

Kevin caught the attention of netizens with his satirical “Tumindig” graphic image showing rows and rows of anthropomorphic fists bowing down in obedience except for one illuminated fist standing defiantly in dissent.

Many were impressed and amused by the image including writers, artists, community figures, working professionals, and activists, who gamely made their own customized fist-shaped images to show solidarity.

“I wanted to show how 'one's voice' can affect those around them. It's much more effective when we lead by example instead of belittling others,” Kevin told GMA News Online.
