This is the long awaited release of the MaK.Po collaboration between UNKL and Kow Yokoyama. In UNKL’s words, this is what would happen if you tossed Kow’s Maschinen Krieger and UNKL’s HazMaPo in a sausage grinder to see what comes out! This 1/10 scale MaK.Po comes complete with 3″ HazMaPo that rides inside, a changable left arm with gun, and an RPG launcher! Well worth the wait in our opinion…this guy ROCKS!

Chopper was initially exclusive to the Vans Berlin store but 60 pieces will soon be on their way back to Hong Kong for world-wide distribution. Chopper is similar to the Pain 1:3 release but has notable differences — the wicked meat cleaver accessory, a new deck design, and different kicks.
