The 1-meter statue of Jim Hopper does not stray from Hanai’s signature art style, including an expression that makes Hopper look like he is deep in thought. Hopper holds a cup of coffee and a pen, clad in his sheriff uniform. Yusuke Hanai has recently collaborated with [AllRightsReserved](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stickymonger) to release a solo exhibit of 3D artworks. The Jim Hopper statue comes complete with a 610 x 460 cm print signed and numbered by Hanai. The sets will be capped at 100 pieces and up for grabs during Hanai’s online draw.
