If you took 10 minutes out of your day to watch my latest vlog (video blog spelled the lazy way), then you know that this weekend, we stopped by the opening night of Kidrobot’s Munnyworld exhibition. Before I keep going, I want to thank the Mr. for putting together video in the fastest turn-around pace [...]

Death to Fake Vinyl

September 4, 2009

Tomorrow, at 11:30am, Kidrobot will be holding a rally on Houston & Lafayette in NYC. I will be there to take pictures. I’m still not sure how I feel about the Taco Bell Bellheadz situation– or the fact that of all people it’s KR who’s protesting against them. The only reason I have my reservations [...]

Erykah Badu at KidRobot Dallas

July 31, 2009

Wow!! Although I’ve had mixed feeling about KidRobot, most of which had to do with their mean staff members and that bogus no-black-books rule (which they seem to have rectified), they do know how to put on great events. Seriously. Although I hate waiting on lines, and sometimes I’ve been lucky enough to not have [...]

KidRobot brings the Goodness of Futurama!

July 18, 2009

When KidRobot released their Simpson’s toys, it caused a rucus amongst collectors. The Simpson’s toys posed a bit of a problem in regards to whether or not they were “designer” toys or not. I didn’t really focus on this problem, because I’ll admit that I liked them. I liked that they were warped into this [...]

This upcoming weekend, Bwana Spoons, will be stopping by Kidrobot NY for a special book and print release. His book, Welcome to Forest Island, contains 144pgs of his art– which I haven’t seen in person, but I hear is stunning. The book will retail for $30 and I have no details on the print, other [...]

But, she will be on hand to talk to her [...]

Baroness Loves: 30 Customs by 30 Friends

April 17, 2009

I’ve said it over and over again– I really love this community. For me, last year’s NYCC really fortified my love for the designer toy world when I got the chance to meet an array of talented artists and they didn’t behave like douches. <– Those are some really kind words aren’t they? Either way, [...]

Tara McPherson’s “Gamma Mutant Space Friends” blindbox series will be released on April 23rd, hosting 2 well-known characters (Ace and Ion), along with some new kick ass characters. I have officially decided that I want; Ace, Ion and the Dracula looking [...]

Hanging with the Artists

NYCC really does bring some of the best times to New York. Now in it’s 4th year, it is becoming one of my yearly highlights and it’s all due to the releases and abundance of artists that I get to meet within the weekend. Kidrobot is just adding to the awesomeness that is this upcoming [...]

About the UK Series Dunny Launch Party

January 25, 2009

Thursday was one of those days I wish I had loads of loot in the bank so I could go where I wanted, without the worry of being dirt poor when I returned. And where would I have wanted to go this past Thursday? To the KidRobot UK Dunny launch party at Selfridges in London, [...]

Kidrobot’s TADO bags

November 29, 2008

Tado is one of my favorite duo’s out there. Thanks to my friend, the ever vigilant Pimpscooby, I have been directed to Kidrobot’s newest bag additions. I am not into their bags, they are way to tacky ang gaudy for me. Correctly, I’m not into their latest bags, seeing as how I own the all-over-Dunny [...]

MUNNY on the Run! from Kidrobot on Vimeo. A very long time ago, I posted a video from kidrobot in which they promoted their Munny. Now, they’ve released a second video and I love it just as much as the first one. If you missed Kidrobot’s first video, click this link to watch it.

Where I’ll be

Next week, November 5th, I plan on attending a lecture that hosts Paul Budnitz (KidRobot) and Mark Graham (ILoveDust). The lecture will focus on character design, animation and toy design. I think it’ll be great to learn about both the toy maker’s perspective and the artist’s perspective. I fell that many times whenever we interview [...]

Andrew Bell’s KidReaper

As soon as I got wind of these news, from my GID obsessed Mr., I knew I had to share. Andrew Bell is quite an awesome artist. I’ve bugged him twice for sketches for my book and I love them. I wasn’t around for many of his releases, so whenever that happens I always get [...]

Anyway, I wanted to share my excitement for the upcoming Dunny Series 5 from Kidrobot (ready to drop September 4th). I’d spotted the above image on the KidRobot forums and immediately spotted [...]
