The Chopper 1:3 figure (200 pieces)  created by Mark Landwehr for Coarsetoys will soon be available worldwide. 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.
