Yoka - Huck Gee GID (Chase)

In August 2002, adFunture Workshop released its first designer vinyl figure in Hong Kong and began its irreplaceable role within international designer figure movement. Graffiti artists, visual designers, art collectors became the company's creative force, supporters and customers. adFunture has grown to be the embodiment of designer figure culture, playing an integral part in its revolution. While it has grew into a Shanghai institution with both its global headquarter and factory setup in the vibrant city, adFunture also established itself internationally as a brand known for quality, styles and attitude. In the past 5 years, adFunture has worked with some of the most groundbreaking designers and artists of our generation, and it expects to expand the list with its setup of adFunture Europe in London. A UK native, Huck Gee is a contemporary artist, illustrator, toy maker, and designer best known by toy enthusiasts for his iconic “Skullhead” character and “Gold Life” art creations. Heavily influenced by Japanese and Hong Kong pop art, Gee calls his style “Bastardized Asian Pop Culture”. The demand for Huck’s Custom Toy Art and illustrations has grown quite immense, with small runs of hand crafted Art Toys and original prints selling out in seconds online and shipping to art collectors worldwide. Huck’s works have been exhibited in galleries worldwide and in 2007 his “Hello My Name Is” 8” Dunny was accepted into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in NYC. In addition, Huck has also consigned several pieces for one of the world’s leading fine art auction houses: Christie’s Auction House. Yoka is a series of vinyl art toys created and produced by Adfunture, first released in June 2008. The collection includes figures in two primary sizes: a larger 10-inch figure and smaller 2.5-inch figures, each individually blister-packed. The Yoka series has featured numerous editions and collaborations with various artists and brands. These collaborations have made Yoka figures a canvas for artistic expression, appealing to both collectors and artists within the designer toy community. The series’ limited editions and unique designs contribute to its enduring popularity among enthusiasts.
