February 2003 - The new Asian trend in cool makes its way to the U.S. in the form of the Out of Town: Chung Shan Vinyl Figure, available exclusively through Diamond Comic Distributors!

In 1999, Western street culture hit Hong Kong with a vengeance. It was this change in style that caused designer Jason Choy to ask himself why people are always accepting Eastern or Western trends, but never a blend of the two. He created the revolutionary concept of combining of the traditional Chinese Ching soldier with the hip-hop style that hit Hong Kong so hard, in a new figure that is less toy and more art.

Imported from Hong Kong, this 5" to 6" rotocast vinyl figure follows the successful Ching Head Previews Exclusive Vinyl Figure, which was Choy's first figure sculpt. The Chung Shan Figure is a mostly modern figure, but still with the same amazing features and details. This first in the "Out of Town" Hong Kong Urban Vinyl series, this figure features several points of articulation, beads, and baseball bat accessory. Scheduled to ship in June 2003, this one unique figure that no collector will want to miss!
