Throughout the world, Kidrobot has released their anticipated Dunny 2010 series. Just like you, we’ve been following their countdown, where they would introduce a new dunny every day. Below you can see some sweet looking pieces by Sket-One, Kozik, Jesse Hernandez, MAD, Triclops, Beast Brothers, and CW.

The Figures are available non-blind-packed(!) for Prices from 8,50€ – 85 €  at Superchan or, like we are used to it – blindpacked for 7,50 € at Collective.at

From Designer Luke Chue comes a new Toy which reminds me of a character of the movie Donnie Darko… It looks like the scary bunny, appearing in Donnies dreams. A quite unusually movie, watch it if you havent already. But enough of movies, this is a vinyl-toy review, no movie review. This sweet toy is about 8 inches tall, made from vinyl and comes with a furry suit plus a really sharp knife. It took the artist 2 years in the making… lets see if it was wworth the wait.

Available 01.09.2010 from Munkyking

Matt Hawkins of (custompapertoys.com) shares with us his latest papertoy project – dubbed: Build-O-Bama – featuring U.S. Presidential-hopeful, Barack Obama in paper-form!

Matt also mentions: “I wanted to show my support for Barack in a creative and positive way. I’ve been thinking a lot about my work and while I love to make funny little characters I feel like it’s my responsibility as an artist to speak my mind through my work every once in a while when I feel strongly about something. Obama is one of the first canidates to come along (ever) who has actually inspired me to create art! Paper to the people!”
