David Choe Munko vinyl toys by Upper Playground

Upper Playground has teamed up with Japan’s Good Smile Company to become the official distributor for David Choe’s “Munko” Vinyl Figures. The toys were initially seen as simple sketches on David's blog, and now following the premiere of the physical Munko toys at San Diego Comic Con in Giant Robot's booth, Upper Playground is the exclusive wholesaler and distributor for the line of figures.

 
Upper Playground has continually been impressed not only by Good Smile Company's detail and intricacy in their vinyl figures, but also by the innovativeness of their other ventures, and are very excited to begin this partnership between their companies.  The "Munko" line of figures comes in three unique sculpts: Munko, Munkosaur, and Munkette.  Munko, is offered in 3 colors and 2 extremely realistic textures.  Munkosaur comes in 3 color ways with one in a concrete texture.  And Munkette (above) comes in 3 unique color ways.

 

The figures are available in a set of all 12 toys and individually by blind-box. We can get them so please email us if you are interested!
