The project

GOLD TOOTH is the Maskman edition Walkman: a brand-new cassette player designed from the ground up under the UUuTANG MASKMAN name. Matte black body. Five satin gold teeth across the front: four of them are the transport controls (play, rewind, stop, fast forward), the fifth is a fixed gold endpiece. A vertical smoked window shows the tape turning, with a gold down arrow over the glass. The Maskman crest sits on the rear housing and on both earcups of the matching wired on-ear headphones.

Where it stands

This is not a render and a dream. The full engineering review (Revision B1) is finished: the exterior design is locked, every visible feature is specced and placed, the mechanical control system behind the gold teeth is defined, and the internal packaging studies are done. The package is ready for mechanism selection, supplier quotes, and prototype development.

What your pledge funds

Every dollar goes into making Gold Tooth real: selecting and qualifying the cassette transport, getting supplier quotes, and building the first working prototype before any tooling money gets spent. Prototype first, production after it is proven.

How pledging works

Pledge any amount: it is charged instantly and securely through Stripe, and 100% goes to the artist. Backers hear every milestone first: mechanism selection, quotes, prototype progress, and the road to production.
