Awhile back we mentioned that Coarsetoys x Vans 1:3 Flake-Chopper edition figure previously exclusive to Vans’ Berlin store would soon be available to customers worldwide. That day is almost here… Rotofugi is taking preorders for the figure with a non-refundable deposit of $145 (half the full price of $290). In case you’re wondering – the 25” Chopper edition has also been referred to as the Butcher edition – named after the Vans Butcher Block store in Berlin, hence the butcher knife accessory. The figure is expected to ship at the end of July/early August.
If you’re not familiar with Mark Landwehr’s 1:3 figures – they’re amazing well done and at this scale feel more like vinyl sculptures than toys. Definitely a standout piece suited for the discriminating collector.
