[x'mas ballmer] by patrick chow
Ever felt lonely during Christmas? Meet the [X’mas Ballmer]! Standing on one foot in the snow, [X’mas Ballmer] represents single and lonely people searching for companion during Christmas. He looks through the window where other families and friends gathers and shares, but the only thing he sees are glittering lights of Christmas tree reflected on his golden icy eyes…
First featured last Christmas - [X’mas Ballmer] is brought to you by G999 and is created by Patrick Chow, the renowned Ball-joint doll artist from Hong Kong. [X’mas Ballmer] "is an unique creation which is different from the vinyl world and is made by traditional handcraft skill and connected by hooks and rubber strings."
