The Stellar Dream Scouts Mini Figure Series by Tara McPherson x Kidrobot

Deep in the cosmos in an alternate dimension of our very universe live our friends the Stellar Dream Scouts, wandering in and out of the Waking World and the Dreamwell searching for lost sleepers. Many of the creatures in this dimension are mischievous… sometimes offering a helping hand, and sometimes playing tricks! Now you can add the residents of the Dreamwell to your designer toy collection thanks to Kidrobot with the new Stellar Dream Scouts Mini Figure Series by Tara McPherson!

The Stellar Dream Scouts navigate the vast realms of the unconscious searching for Dreamkin to rescue, but beware of the nightmare Namaka, ruler of the Lucid Seas! Test your intuition with the water demon Umi! Keep your eyes peeled for the friendly space whale Cosmo who rides the sparkling interstellar oceans. But there’s also the Mystery Mountain, Borealis the polar bear, Gamma the elephant, and the Brainbow Scouts: Skull Flower and Eye Flower.

Collectors can pre-order The Stellar Dream Scouts Mini Figure Series by Tara McPherson now at Entertainment Earth. You can purchase a 4 pack of blind boxes for $47.99 or a full case of blind boxes for $287.99 here.

The uber-talented Tara McPherson has teamed up with Clutter Magazine to release a pretty fun new print entitled “Wiggle Friends”. The Blot’s always loved how Tara is able to convey such emotion with her signature color palette of pinks and turquoises mixed with shimmering metallic inks. “Wiggle Friends” is a great example of how even the simplest of images can come to life with Tara’s magic touch.

“Wiggle Friends” by Tara McPherson is an 18”x24” signed and numbered screen print, and features both glow in the dark and metallic inks. Pick one up today from the Clutter online store for $70 each.

Kidrobot's Dunny Series 2012 Full Reveal!

Kidrobot has given us the full reveal of its upcoming Dunny Series 2012 and man does it look incredible! For the past few months KR has done a great job pushing its Dunny platform in directions with both its 8” and special 3” releases. But this is the first time I’ve seen a full artist series with this many unique sculpts and accessories. I have to give Kidrobot’s it’s due…I’ve been asking for more from their Dunny releases and with Series 2012 they deliver! Plus there’s a freaking Sucklord Dunny!

Kidrobot’s Dunny Series 2012 features 20 designs by 14 artists, including seasoned Dunny masters mixed in with some fresh blood. Each artist has created characters that push Dunny into new worlds with new sculpts, new uses of the Dunny platform, new treatments, and new plans. A more colorful mix than you would find in the Mos Eisley Cantina, each figure is its own species – an ambassador to the mind of its creator. If you are one of the lucky few to see them all together, you will find a window into what whimsy and wickedness lies under the creative rocks found in the far away corners of the Dunny galaxy.

Dunny Series 2012 features emissaries from the hands of Andrew Bell, Attaboy, Scribe, Jeremiah Ketner, Jon-Paul Kaiser, Junko Mizuno, Kronk, MAD, Mauro Gatti, Sergio Mancini, Nakanari, Pac23, Tara McPherson, and Triclops Studio. Best of all, collectors can get their hands on an exclusive Dunny by the Sucklord with the purchase of a case pack at select retail locations (while supplies last). DS2012 goes on sale Thursday, June 21st, at Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com, and select retailers worldwide for $9.95 per blind box.

Leaked: Dunny Series 2012 Checklist & Ratios

Yesterday, the world of designer art toys got its very first look at Kidrobot’s upcoming Dunny Series 2012!!! Thanks to Spanky Stokes and Trampt for the image above! Whenever a leak of this magnitude happens it seems to really get collectors talking, and all in all it seems like fans are really happy with the artist line-up and their designs. The Blot is especially thrilled to see KR continue its trend of including popular artists who have never designed a Dunny before in their trademark 3” blind box series. Names like Scribe, Jon-Paul Kaiser, Jeremiah Ketner, Sergio Mancini and Nakanari have me super excited for this release!

I’m also pretty pumped to see MAD's Vandal design was chosen for this series (originally seen here back in 2009). This is a great reminder to all the artists out there that even if your design isn’t picked when it’s first submitted, there’s always a chance it gets chosen a few series down the line.

Dunny Series 2012 includes designs by MAD, Junko Mizuno, Kronk, Tara McPherson, Scribe, Andrew Bell, Jon-Paul Kaiser, Triclops Studio, Jeremiah Ketner, Attaboy, Pac23, Sergio Mancini, Nakanari, and Mauro Gatti.
