Mattel Creations Past Drops - AOE 8 Ball

IT’S GOT ALL THE ANSWERS.
IT’S GOT ALL THE ANSWERS. IT’S GOT ALL THE ANSWERS.

Well, most of them. Making a billiard ball tell the future is no easy trick, even for its inventor, the son of a clairvoyant. It takes a specially designed 20-sided die in a proprietary liquid held in a sealed canister and suspended on two shock absorbers. To get it all rolling, we weld everything together using sound waves — yes, sound waves — so you get a perfect sphere with no exposed fasteners.

CREATIONS COLLABORATOR DISTORTEDD

Philadelphia-based artist and illustrator Anhia Zaira Santana, known professionally as “Distortedd,” uses her wild imagination to recreate the Magic 8 Ball in her signature trippy, tormented aesthetic.

“My artist name, Distortedd, fits my art perfectly,” she says. “It’s a little bit crazy and distorted. It’s trippy. I use a lot of cartoon characters and like playing around with random things, misplacing things, and distorting them.”
