David Choe’s “Choegal” by Ningyoushi
by L.A. Ruano, December 19, 2008

Limited to 1000 hand painted pieces, LA-based artist David Choe, in association with Upper Playground, presents his latest work of art entitled Choegal. The piece produced by Japanese toy makers Ningyoushi is based on a wooden toy Choe made for past Giant Robot shows. The toy features moving parts including a spinning head revealing three different faces and emotions and fully poseable arms. Standing at approx. 8″ tall, the Choegal is now available via Upper Playground’s web store.

david choe is the man.
Could be just the face is hand painted, all three bodies are the same.
Yesterday the Ning website said 200, now its 1000? Why does Ning (manufactirer) not mention hand painted but UpperPlayground (retailer) does?
these are pretty dope.
