Spiritus Dea Dunny Blind Box Series by Kidrobot

Spiritus Dea – “spirit of the goddess” in Latin – marks the second Dunny mini series to feature a line-up of all female artists! Each artist channels a specific goddess into the 3” Dunny form, spanning vastly different cultures, times and theologies… all with one common calling: the rebirth of justice. Worshipped for both creation and destruction, protection and war, chaos and fate, and even life and death, the goddesses in Spiritus Dea maintain essential roles within the greater celestial world. The cultural stretch of these heavenly beings strikes harmony with their combined powers and reach, creating a Dunny series to be revered. Fans can now purchase a four pack of Spiritus Dea Series blind boxes at Entertainment Earth for $47.99 here.

With a global reach of 3 continents, artists Candie Bolton, Laura Colors of 64 Colors, Stephanie Buscema, Marylou Faure, Stickymonger, Mizna Wada, Lisa Toms, Mia Alvarez, MJ Hsu, Muxxi, Tomodachi Island, and Anna J (Yoii) each capture the unseen force of will within each of us that anticipates their goddess’s long-awaited return. There’s even a case exclusive variant of the Moirai Goddess Dunny by Stickymonger that was given away to the first 50 orders on Kidrobot.com of a full case of Spiritus Dea blind boxes.

Good 4 Nothing Dunny 8” Vinyl Figure by 64Colors x Kidrobot

The Blot was pretty excited to learn Kidrobot was teaming up with 64Colors again to release a beautiful new 8” Dunny! Meet Good 4 Nothing, a daydreamer, ne’er-do-well, lazy, irresponsible, loafer, maker of nothing, doer of little. Life’s too short with both good luck and bad. Too much pressure and expectations for sure. So I’ll roll like a tumbleweed... taking my sweet time keeping my stress level low rolling on slow. Relax and join me if you wish and be totally carefree. I may be Good 4 Nothing to some but, what I’m doing may be Good 4 Me.

The Good 4 Nothing Dunny vinyl figure by 64Colors stands 8” tall and is available in two colorways: OG Good and Vintage Red and Blue. The OG Good standard colorway is limited to 800 pieces and can be purchased now at Entertainment Earth for $74.99 here. The Kidrobot exclusive Vintage Edition is limited to just 200 pieces and can be purchased at Kidrobot.com for $75.

Supermagical 8” Dunny by 64 Colors

Wow, it’s truly amazing that the same company that announced those lame Kidrobot Mascot figures earlier this week can turn around and unveil this masterpiece yesterday! Inspired by myth and folklore, supernatural events and walks in the woods behind their studio, 64 Colors weaves together tales both real and imagined to create the Supermagical 8 inch Dunny. Supermagical is a strikingly beautiful but merciless sentinel of the forest…The Blot just hopes Kidrobot’s QC can live up to 64 Colors’ amazing designs.

I roam the forest keeping a watchful eye for those who disrespect that which is sacred and in decline. Beware and do not destroy, or I will descent upon you with a mighty fury and vengeance that is swift and absolute.

Featuring a uniquely sculpted head with branched ear, intricate matte painted details, and captivating watchful eyes, the Supermagical 8” Dunny keeps watch and protects the animated acorns, the dancing leaves, and the mystical mushrooms of the forest. As long as she is on guard, the woods are alive with mysterious life forms and energy. Supermagical by 64 Colors has a limited edition run size of 1,200 pieces, will retail for $75 and goes on sale February 23rd at Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide.

Dunny Series 2011 Official Release Info

Kidrobot’s worst kept secret became official yesterday, as the designer toy company announced Dunny Series 2011 will be released on Thursday, June 23! This all new blind box series includes 20 diverse Dunny designs from 15 inspired artists. From nice to nasty and cute to killer, Dunny Series 2011 serves up a Dunny design for virtually every taste.

Featured artists include both longtime KR collaborators and a host of Dunny newbies: 64 Colors, Aya Kakeda, Chuckboy, Dirty Donny, DrilOne, Elphonso Lam, Huck Gee, Kronk, Le Merde, MAD, Mishka, Mister F(r)ame$, Squink! Travis Lampe and Betso, 2010's MUNNY Munth winner.

Put the individual pieces together and you'll have a one-of-a-kind, not-sold-anywhere Dunny! It looks like Kidrobot has officially jumped in to the Collect and Connect craze.

Also, you can snag an alternate monotone version of Huck Gee’s Zombie Dunny for free with the purchase of a case of Dunny Series 2011 at Kidrobot retail stores, Kidrobot.com, and select retailers worldwide. Plus, Paul Budnitz and Aya Kalkeda will be in attendance at the Kidrobot NY release party promoting their new book “Hole in the Middle.” No word yet if the “Hole in the Middle” Dunny you see above is a Series 2011 mystery figure, a special release for the book signing or something different altogether (Golden Ticket anyone?). More info as it becomes available!

First Look: Dunny Series 2011

In case you haven’t seen this yet, here’s the first leak of Kidrobot’s upcoming Dunny Series 2011 (with ratios included). The Blot’s REALLY excited about this series because Kidrobot has included a number of designs by popular artists from the designer toy community who have never had a figure produced by KR before. There are so many artists who create truly amazing work in our toy community, and it’s great to finally see some of those names included in a Dunny series. The visibility and notoriety an artist receives through their inclusion in a Dunny series is unrivaled, and I’m glad so many new artists are getting the opportunity to share their work with the world.

From the small photo above, I’ve been able to make out designs by DrilOne, Squink, Le Merde, 64 Colors, Travis Lampe and Besto. I am also pretty sure two of the Dunnys on the bottom row were designed by MAD and the Dunnys in the bottom right corner were designed by Huck Gee. Who else can you spot in the leaked photo above???

Skeleton Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Leecifer

The amazing custom in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series is by California artist Leecifer. The Blot’s a huge fan of Lee’s work, especially his many Batman and pop culture inspired custom figures (definitely check out his awesome hand painted Super7 Mummy Boys!). If you’ve never seen Leecifer’s work, then I definitely suggest checking out his art at Flickr here. Leecifer contributed four Skeleton Marshalls to Tenacious Toys’ Marshall Custom Series, three like the figure you see below and one mystery color variant.


The Tenacious Toys Marshall Blind Box Custom Series will retail for $50 each and features the artwork of Mike "Nemo" Mendez, Brent Nolasco, OsirisOrion, Ian Ziobrowski, Den Ramos, LYS0L, Rolo, Bryan Collins, Phetus, John "Spanky" Stokes, Leecifer, Steve "Sketchbot" Talkowski and ZAM. The Marshall figures, which look like little marshmallows that have sprouted arms and legs, were originally designed by 64Colors and produced by Rotofugi.

Kabuki Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Zam

Zam is the creator behind the newest custom figure in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series! Not only does Zam run Genuine Artikle on Long Island, NY, but he’s also a killer tattoo artist and an accomplished toy customizer. His Kabuki inspired custom figures look awesome, and I especailly like the way he transformed each Marshall's head. From the few pics I’ve seen the paintjobs look extremely tight! Zam created 4 custom Marshalls for Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Series, including one secret variant.

Día de los Muertos Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by LYS0L

LYS0L (a.k.a. Brian Ahlbeck) is the creator behind the next stellar custom in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series. The upstate New York based artist stepped away from his traditional custom sculpting and did an amazing paint job on these Día de los Muertos inspired hand painted custom Marshalls. LYS0L created three Marshalls like the one seen above, plus one secret custom Marshall variant! But to see the variant, you’ll have to try your luck with one of Tenacious Toys’ Custom Marshall Series blind boxes.

Oil Mongers Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Den Ramos

The next amazing custom in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series was recently unveiled and it comes from Den Ramos. Den started creating his custom Marshalls right after the BP oil spill, which inspired him to make these Oil Mongers custom figures. Den did a crazy job sculpting his four Marshalls for this series and they turned out great! There are three Tarball Brown Oil Mongers and one super rare chase BP Green Oil Monger.

Nuggs Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Ian Ziobrowski

Ian Ziobrowski is the creator behind the next killer custom in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series, and it’s a custom Marshall of Ian’s signature character, Nuggs! Ian has produced Nuggs customs in a variety of different platforms over the years, which is one of the reasons The Blot likes these customs so much. I love it when an artist takes their marquee character and reproduces him in a variety of different forms.


If you want to find out more about Nuggs, be on the lookout for Ian's “Nugg Life” website, which is scheduled to go live soon. Ian made four Nuggs customs for this series, three standard figures (1 of which is seen above) and a secret chase variant.

The custom figures in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series just keep getting better! Check out these wild looking Space Junk Custom Marshalls by OsirisOrion, which takes OsirisOrion’s trademark Space Junk character and transforms it into a cute little Marshall.

Sketchbot Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Steve Talkowski

The Blot was pretty excited to find out Steve Talkowski had included three custom Sketchbot Marshalls in Tenacious Toys’ upcoming Custom Marshall Blind Box Series to coincide with the three colorways of his Sketchbot figure. I’m a huge fan of the Sketchbot design, and Talkowski did a great job taking the figure’s key elements and applying them to the Marshall platform. These custom figures would look excellent next to the Sketchbot in your collection, so be sure to try your luck by buying a blind box when the series drops.

Tiki Custom Marshall Vinyl Figures by Nemo

From the upcoming Tenacious Toys Marshall Blind Box Custom Series comes four angry looking Tiki Marshalls by Nemo. The artwork on these is incredible, and each Tiki Marshall actually looks like it was hand crafted from wood! But what The Blot really loves about these custom figures by Nemo is the center figure’s sculpted head, which really makes the figure come to life.
