Totem 6" FatCap by Kronk

With an over-inflated sense of awesomeness and a love for dicey online casino games and XXX reading material, the Totem FatCap by Kronk consumes technology like bandwidth grows on trees. The Blot loves that Kidrobot has dedicated itself to continue to release new FatCap figures, including two awesome 6” FatCaps in the last few months. Kronk is definitely one of the most popular artists in the designer art toy scene these days, and I know his devoted fans are going to eat up this newest release.

The Totem FatCap by Kronk is 6 inches of vinyl symbolism, enshrining the evils of vanity, lust and greed on the iconic FatCap platform. Here to serve as a symbolic reminder to avoid leading self-celebrating lives, this totem’s old natural tones have transformed into a new electric vinyl palette – purple, turquoise, orange and pink. Beginning May 10, only 900 of this misguided Totem FatCap will be available for purchase at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers worldwide for just $75.
