Kidrobot is known for manufacturing toys that are actually worth buying thanks to their artistic and mature designs, and their latest figurine ‘Dweezil’ is no exception. Designed by artist Kronk, Dweezil is a Chinese dragon decked out in cool urban attire. With his badass top hat, Converse Chuck Taylors and slim-fit “peace” t-shirt, Dweezil’s coolness trounces on anything you’d find in the aisles of Toys “R” Us.
The Dweezil dragon comes in two color variations, one black with blue and white accents and the other gray with red and white accents. It stands 15-inches tall and comes at a hefty price tag of $350. Its retail value is justified however as there only going to be 300 of these stellar figurines produced.
