The wonderful thing about conventions is that you occasionally spot something that isn't necessarily new but that has flown completely under the radar, which — for me — was the case with
Buweon's "The Skater" figure from this past weekend's STGCC. It appears to be an official collaboration with
Korea's Vans branch, depicting an "urban vinyl" styled character carrying a skateboard and ice cream popsicle. And I love how the pictured diorama version incorporates tiny boxes of Vans sneakers and a massive flag for the brands as well as their well-known "off the wall" slogan! From what I've been able to find, the figure itself stands roughly 5-inches tall, but I can't figure out how to buy them… Of course, simply following
Buweon's Instagram feed might provide the answer in the near future.
