Shadow Serpent 8” Dunny by Marka27

Kidrobot - Shadow Serpent 8 Inch Dunny by Marka27

Powerful ancient gods and contemporary musical forces mix it up to form the new Shadow Serpent 8 inch Dunny by Marka27, blending an iconic platform with Marka’s popular mini-god aesthetic. Bright green and adorned with slithering serpents and native markings, Shadow Serpent bears 3 decorative mini-speakers sculpted into its head and a printed speaker on both the back and belly. The serpent influence comes from Marka’s Mexican heritage, pulling inspiration from the ancient god Quetzalcoatl, a feathered serpent deity worshipped by the Mayans, Aztecs and other indigenous cultures.
