Kong Andri's "Uncle Chop" custom Dunny + Labbit silent auction!

 

Kong Andri, the second place winner for Best Munny in this year's Munnyworld Contest, created this wonderful 3" Dunny and 1.5" Labbit custom set entitled "Uncle Chop." Andri describes the design as "A pig butcher whose gone mad when a piece of carrot plugged itself to his head. Now, controlled by that carrot, Uncle Chop is on a prowl looking for labbits to kill."

There's a lot of clean line work here and lovely little touches, like the labbit outline on his apron. Written on his back is the kanji for — I believe — "butcher man," which makes sense given the design. Instead of simply selling this piece, Andri has decided to do a silent auction to find an owner for it.

Between now and Saturday, June 30th at 8PM Indonesian time (which is 6AM on Saturday PST), e-mail contact [at] mynewobsession [dot] net with your full name, phone number, e-mail address and the amount of your bid. Bids do not include shipping & handling costs and no bid under $30 will be considered. Best of luck to all hoping to win this beautiful piece!

Pac 23

Jeremiah Ketner.

Scribe.

Kansas City based urban artist Scribe aka D. Ross goes above and beyond the normal 3-inch stature forDS2012 with his first production Dunny, Jonahone Giraffe. We have seen Scribe express his love for animals through his various projects including the custom Giraffe MUNNY.

Junko Mizuno

Junko Mizuno's Purple soda girl looks amazing, its great to see that KR are including many adjustments to the dunny platform now.

 “I had already designed two Dunnys and this time I wanted to make a crazier one that reflects my recent style. I took some elements such as crazy hair, detailed flowers and gold flames from the paintings that I did in the past two years.”Purple Soda Girl definitely reflects the subject matter Junko painted live at the Cosmopolitan Las Vegas last year.

Sergio Mancini


Brazilian designer Sergio Mancini was the first confirmed DS2012 artist when he took Best In Show last year in our 2011 MUNNYWORLD MEGACONTEST. His original design Project: Munny has been given the vector treatment to adorn our beloved Dunny.

The founder of Milan based creative firm Mutado, Mauro’s favorite sport has been ping pong since he was a kid and can’t help but wanting to play every time he sees a ping pong table.

SDCC Exclusive – Cyborg 7-inch Labbit Excelsior Edition

Signing By Chuckboy, 12-2pm

Only 300 survived the mutation, but that’s why Labbits boink like they do – to survive!  With a sudden cigarette shortage, it was time to take drastic and evolutionary action.  Enter sexy technology, boasting the ability to smork non-stop without wasting time trying to light up without opposable thumbs.  After one sweaty night at the Silicon Valley Motel, the Cyborg Labbit Excelsiors were born. 7-inch vinyl labbits with a tip that never cools, and a butthole that’s always charged – now that’s a hybrid.

SDCC Exclusive – Mahākāla Dunny Prosperity Edition

Signing by Andrew Bell, 12-2pm

Dunny-sattvas take wrathful form when a gentler approach is not effective.

Seemingly demonic, the Mahākāla deity is a stern protector. With his trident, he fights the poisons that blind – pride, lust, greed, and ignorance – and destroys those that hinder the knowledge of enlightenment. He has four arms, three eyes, and one fiery crown. Some compare him to death; others hail him as a glorious guard.  All know him to be fierce.

The 8-inch Mahākāla Dunny by Andrew Bell – wrathful in name, and protective in nature – is inspired by the Mahākāla character, ever present in ceremonies throughout the Himalayan region, originating with ancient Indian and Nepalese culture.  Prosperity Edition is limited to 300 pieces, and rules with a trident accessory, extra set of articulated arms, and removable Dunny skull belt. Set to release at Kidrobot Booth #4529 at San Diego Comic Con for $100.

Kidrobot’s SDCC 2012 Tease

SDCC is just around the corner and Kidrobot has posted this teaser to kind off kill us slowly.
One could make out what some of them are but what they look like we will have to wait with anticipation.

Kidrobot - City Bots.

Kidrobot is lucky to call some stellar cities home. With each unique urban culture, they inspire us, energize us, make us laugh and sometimes make us a bit queasy (take a stroll down Grand street in NYC on a hot summer day). After 10 years of loving urban living, we had to pay homage in the only way we know how: vinyl.

Introducing the Kidrobot City ‘Bots Mini’s. Each 3-inch vinyl figure highlights the city where it is exclusively sold by showcasing the characteristics that the city and its citizens are famous for. Five Kidrobot retail stores have their own special ‘Bot: San Francisco, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and London. On the scene June 21st, each figure retails for $11.95 (£9.60 UK). Take a summer trip and check them out… these ‘Bots and their cities will not disappoint.
