Upper Playground has released David Choe’s Choegal, a wooden figure produced by Ningyoushi, in association with Upper Playground. The Choegal is based on a wooden toy that David Choe made for past Giant Robot shows. The Choegal is limited to a set of 1000 and each doll is hand painted. David Choe himself was surprised at the detail that the overseas factory was able to replicate by hand.
The figure has fully poseable arms and has three faces with different expressions: happy, angry and sad. To reveal a new face, turn the “pom pom” on the hat. The Choegal measures approximately 8 inches tall and, since they are all hand painted, they will all vary slightly. The Choegal is available online now at the UP Web Store.
