The cactus is a sign of protection. Bruttino and his friends zip themselves into cactus suits like armour to help them face the world. The cactus is the conserver of water, and water means life. The Cactus Friends are pure like water, and represent the balance between fragility and strength.

Bruttino is one of two brand new vinyl figures from The Cactus Friends line by Tokidoki. Be sure to check out his feline pal Carina, too! 2 inches tall. Window box packaging.

tokidoki was founded in 2003 by designer Simone Legno and his partners Pooneh Mohajer and Ivan Arnold. An innovative line of apparel, handbags, cosmetics, accessories and more, tokidoki has built a worldwide following with its larger-than-life characters and designs. Echoing a Japanese kawaii (cute) aesthetic, the name tokidoki means "sometimes" in Japanese, and is a pun of doki doki, an onomatopoeia for a heartbeat.
