MAD’s 09 Kidrobot Dunny Concept Designs

Last week MAD posted on his Flickr account a slew of new Dunny concept designs he has recently submitted to Kidrobot. While there has been no word yet if Kidrobot will be putting any of these killer designs into production, they were just too great not to share here on The Blot Says… As many of you know MAD is one of The Blot’s favorite artists, and after seeing the designs below is there any question he should be getting his own Dunny series sometime very soon?



I really love the Ape and Dinero Dunny set with its Donkey Kong and Mario influence, but I swear if I don’t get a Guardian Dunny or Mad*l production figure sometime soon I’m going to be royally ticked off. MAD’s Guardian figures are some of the best custom designer figures I’ve ever seen, and I can’t wait to see the long rumored custom Guardian Mad*ls MAD is currently working on. I’m also a big fan of MAD’s Sham Da Clown vinyl figure, so it’s cool to see him reproduced here in Dunny form.

SDCC 09 Exclusive Wolverine Mighty Muggs with Retractable Claws Photo

We finally have a legitimate photograph of Hasbro’s upcoming San Diego Comic Con 2009 exclusive Wolverine with retractable claws Mighty Mugg thanks to ActionFigurePictures.com. (link) The Blot had some serious reservations about this year’s Marvel Comics SDCC exclusive Mighty Mugg when it was first announced, but I think it looks pretty cool! It’s obviously a homage to this summer’s quasi-blockbuster X-Men Origins: Wolverine, and it actually resembles Hugh Jackman (at least it does slightly if you squint while looking at the figure). I do wish they hadn’t tried to copy everything about Jackman’s movie version of Wolverine because I could have done without his big shiny belt buckle.


There has been no official announcement yet on the SDCC 2009 exclusive Wolverine Mighty Muggs’ run size or price, but I’d be willing to wager it will retail for somewhere between $15 and $25. For those of you unwilling to wait until the figure’s release at San Diego Comic Con, there might be one available already on eBay (and a SDCC exclusive Optimus Prime Mighty Mugg as well).
