David Weeks has given Kidrobot’s artist-interpreted vinyl collectible its first-ever large scale wooden revamp. The ultra-exclusive “Chiseler” is modeled after Weeks’ poseable timber toys Hanno the Gorilla and Ursa the Bear. Hand-hewn from zebra-striped hard pine, Chiseler makes sculpted facets out of Dunny’s familiar roundness. The limited edition of 5 is available exclusively at Kidrobot. Check out the detailed pics after the jump.

Upper Playground is proud to present the newest in a series of vinyl figures slated for release in 2009. Dragon Boy designed by Sam Flores. Known for his signature characters and fusing them with Asian motifs, Flores’ Dragon Boy fuses his influences in this new groundbreaking figure.

“I’ve been traveling [to]…a lot of places in Asia; I pick up a lot of things, styles and aesthetics. I’m infatuated with the beauty and architecture…the lines and attention to detail of everything.”

Unlike most other vinyl figures, the Dragon Boy is made up of 3 pieces creating the illusion of the dragon floating through the clouds. The figure measures 10” tall and the head, midsection and tail feature extremely detailed gradient blends. Dragon Boy will come housed in a double-sided window box with a scenic insert card. Limited to 500 units, Dragon Boy is slated to release in early September but is available for presale beginning Monday, June 15, 2009, on the Upper Playground web store.
