David Flores x Disney x Kidrobot Thumper Vinyl Figure Teaser Image

UPDATE: The Blot just found out that the new David Flores x Disney x Kidrobot Thumper Vinyl Figure will be coming out on October 22nd! I've also included a photo of Flores' original Thumper painting, which this new vinyl figure will be based on.

The Blot can't wait for this upcoming David Flores x Disney x Kidrobot vinyl figure collaboration. Even from this angle the Thumper figure looks awesome! This photo mysteriously showed up on Flores’ official blog yesterday and The Blot already needs to know more ASAP.


All we know for sure is what Flores put in his post’s caption: “THUMP thump...thump...shhhh! Kidrobot X DISNEY X DAVID FLORES. What could it be?” My guess is that it’s a Thumper Rabbit (from Bambi) vinyl figure (see the photo below for a better idea of what this new Thumper figure will look like).


Flores' original Mickey Mouse vinyl figure is a classic, and I can't wait to see his take on another of Disney’s classic characters. Any guesses as to which Disney character will be getting the Flores treatment next? Maybe a Donald Duck figure (hint, hint)!

Kidrobot - Free 3 Inch White MAD Ape Dunny

Unbeknownst to The Blot, today is MAD Day at Kidrobot. To coincide with the release of MAD’s BoOoya Ghost mini series and MAD designed Kidrobot clothing line, KR will be giving away a super limited 3” White MAD Ape Dunny with the purchase of any apparel (and bandanas don’t count) at any of Kidrobot’s four stores (Miami, NY, LA, SF and Dallas) starting at 11 am today, Thursday, August 6th.


The 3” White MAD Ape Dunny is limited to just 500 pieces and in order to get the Dunny, you have to actually ask the Kidrobot employee at the register for it. This is to weed out people who don’t actually know the promotion is taking place. The White MAD Ape Dunnys are limited to one dunny per person, so buying two hoodies does not entitle you to two White MAD Ape Dunnys. And, for those of you in the New York area, make sure you hit up Kidrobot New York for the MAD signing tonight starting at 6pm.

Kidrobot - BoOoya Ghost Mini Series by MAD

In a few hours Kidrobot will be releasing its newest vinyl mini figure series BoOoya Ghost designed by MAD, one of The Blot’s favorite artists. The BoOoya Ghost series features an undead collection of surly punks, freakishly evolved apes and belligerent boogeymen. What I really like about this new blind boxed series is that it combines a number of MAD’s most popular characters, like Sham da Clown and the MAD Ape, with this new ghost theme.


There are fourteen figures in all, including two secret chases. Each BoOoya Ghost is 2 inches tall and some figures even come with accessories. This new blind boxed series goes on sale today, August 6, at all Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide. The BoOoya Ghost blind boxes have a suggested retail price of $7.95 and can be purchased online from the Kidrobot online store here.
