OUTER SPACE MONSTERS

The Campana brothers tapped into their inner child to create Flix and Flex—space-age figures that come in four colours, almost like the adult equivalent of the Transformer toys. “This came from my childhood when I started watching TV,” says Humberto Campana. “I was fascinated by spaceships and life outside of earth.”

Creating Flix and Flex also reminded Campana of another aspect of his childhood. “When I watched Stanley Kubrick’s 2001, I was very upset because I couldn’t buy the spaceship. When we were back home, we started making our spaceships from the cactus in the surrounding countryside.”
