His rendition of the prankster exudes a sleek, dare we say it regal appearance in contrast with the character's often comical appearance.  Once<strong> Munky King's Patrick Lam</strong> saw Nathan's version of his store's namesake, the vinyl figure project took flight on a fluffy cloud.  Under expert sculptor <a href="http://davepresslersculpting.blogspot.com/"><strong>Dave Pressler's</strong></a> keen eye and steady hand, Monkey King made the jump from 2D animation to 3D  as an 8" vinyl figure with removable staff. removable cloud and bendy arms and tail.  We'll have more information including run sizes and colorway **** as it becomes available. <br > </p> <a id="more"></a> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a rel="lightbox[monkey_king_nathan_j_protom]" href="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1456_b.jpg"> <img border="0" src="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1456_m.jpg" ></a> <a rel="lightbox[monkey_king_nathan_j_protom]" href="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1451_b.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1451_m.jpg" style="margin-left: 10px;" ></a> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a rel="lightbox[monkey_king_nathan_j_protom]" href="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1433_b.jpg"> <img border="0" src="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1433_b.jpg" style="width: 308px; height: 230px;" ></a> <a rel="lightbox[monkey_king_nathan_j_protom]" href="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1462_b.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1462_m.jpg" style="margin-left: 10px; width: 173px; height: 229px;" ></a> </p> <p style="text-align: center;"> <a rel="lightbox[monkey_king_nathan_j_protom]" href="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1436_b.jpg"> <img border="0" src="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1436_m.jpg" style="width: 300px; height: 223px;" ></a> <a rel="lightbox[monkey_king_nathan_j_protom]" href="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1466_b.jpg"><img border="0" src="http://images.vinylpulse.com/vp_pics/munky_king/monkey_king/protom/IMG_1466_m.jpg" style="margin-left: 10px; width: 183px; height: 222px;" ></a> </p>
