The Priest Vinyl Figure by Mark Gonzales

Super7 x Mark Gonzales The Priest Vinyl Figure

Skateboard legend Mark Gonzales has teamed up with Super7 to produce a vinyl figure of one of his trademark illustrations, The Priest! Gonzales’ distinctive artwork has piqued the interest of skaters and art fans alike for decades, and his The Priest illustration has been a constant image throughout his work. In fact, the original black & white image of The Priest was adapted into a three-dimensional sculpture in which castings served as a canvas for Gonzales’ original art. Now the Priest has been carefully recreated from the original sculpture into a high-quality designer vinyl toy.

After getting our first look at this exciting new figure more than two years ago, The Priest is finally ready to invade your designer toy collection! Standing over 10” tall, you may display your Priest with a choice of two expressions, happy or angry. All it takes is a twist of his poseable head. This limited-edition run was produced in Tokyo, Japan, and is collaboration between Super7 and Krooked Skateboards. Each figure comes packaged in a deluxe collector’s box, illustrated throughout with Gonz artwork, and retails for $75. Pick one up starting on Saturday, December 1st, at the Super7 online store.
