Hambuddha Vinyl Figure by Tik Ka From East x Mighty Jaxx

Hambuddha Vinyl Figure by Tik Ka From East x Mighty Jaxx

“Eat them burgers, for fast food
is the fastest path to the Pure Land” – Hambuddha

From the brilliant mind of Hong Kong artist Tik Ka From East comes the Hambuddha! Based on his “Eat Good West” painting series, Tik Ka From East’s concept for Hambuddha came from the artist's idea that fast food is responsible for speeding up our journey to Sufkhāvatī, the Pure Land, which is the place that we go to after we pass away.

Hambuddha may look like a regular Buddha sculpture from the back, with a halo around his head, but turn him around and you'll be surprised! He wears clown-like make up and has bright red hair, inspired by McDonald’s iconic mascot, Ronald McDonald. Hambuddha holds a pearl-shaped hamburger in his hand and sits in a single lotus position on a deliciously golden-brown lotus throne.

The fast food inspired Hambuddha sits 8” tall, is made from vinyl, and comes packaged in a full color printed box. Limited to just 300 pieces, this meaningful and humorous figure went on sale at the Mighty Jaxx online store for $169. Sadly, this epic figure sold out almost immediately upon release.
