Just in time for Father's Day, Richard Christiansen, advertising guru and founder of New York's Chandelier Creative, has collaborated with Andy Spade's acclaimed design studio Partners & Spade to create the ultimate toy for boys – a five piece, 24 karat gold, limited edition toy soldier set. Comprised of an embossed incandescent gold box with a fitted case for five individually crafted soldiers, it's being produced in a limited edition of 100. Each soldier is handmade, individually capturing a slightly different look and feel, so no two will be exactly the same. They are all engaged in various activities – some are marching, some are standing guard, and others are taking pictures. Accompanying the soldiers are four different props, also 24 karat gold, ranging from a chiseled brick wall and barrel that provide a safe place for cover, to a pile of debris. The limited edition sets will be available to purchase exclusively at Partner's & Spade in NYC beginning Saturday at $500.00 apiece.
