As Prince Paul said, buddy simply means body, bodies of all kind. And De La Soul has been recreated into vinyl buddies for you and me. Kidrobot, Myong Kurily and the legendary De La themselves teamed up to celebrate their 1989 debut, 3 Feet High and Rising.
This limited edition set ($50) consists of all 3 members standing 3-inches tall.  Merc rocks the crowd with a mic and fresh specs, Maceo kicks it with  headphones while Trugoy is on his hustle, briefcase in hand.  Toy collectors and hip-hop heads, you might want to get on this - 1000 sets worldwide.
