Bent World Spray Can Artist Series by MAD

Renegade spray paint cans are primed to bomb the streets with this new blind box mini series from Kidrobot and mastermind artist MAD. Inspired by his sold-out 2007 Bent World Vandals Series, Spray Cans are here with a total of 16 designs ready to make their mark on society.

Each character is “Bent” with an angled posture and equally crooked personality. Each can comes in two versions – a “new” fresh from the hardware store look, and a “used” dripping with paint and well-placed tags from MAD and some of his favorite artists, including kaNO, Marka27, Jesse Hernandez, Scribe, Pon, J. Brunson and Sket One. Each 2 inch figure features a removable cap, articulating arms, and makes the telltale metallic rattle noise when shaken.

Bent World Spray Cans Artist Series drops November 3rd and will retail for $7.95 per blind-box. This is one mini figure series that is sure to leave a lasting impression on collectors, artists and VANDALS!

Kidrobot 2Tone Dunny Series Checklist & Ratios

Besides a few “leaked” photos, Kidrobot has been completely silent about today’s release of its newest 3” Dunny blind box series, the 2Tone Series. With that being said, you'd have to be living under a rock to not know that the series dropped today in extremely limited quantities! If you’re hoping to pick up a few blind boxes or even a case (which includes 16 blind boxes), you’d better act quickly as these are selling out everywhere and it’s only 9am.


Since Kidrobot has still not made an official announcement about its 2Tone Dunny Series, The Blot thought I’d throw together a crude little checklist for all the collectors out there. The Blot’s 2Tone Checklist includes every design in the series and its official ratio as stated on the series' packaging. Thanks to Neon Monster for most of the photos above!!!

Kidrobot’s 2Tone Dunny Series is available now for $9.95 per blind box at Kidrobot stores, Kidrobot.com and select retailers worldwide. There are 14 figures in the 2Tone Dunny Series, which includes designs by Huck Gee, Gary Baseman, Doktor A, Angry Woebots, Aya Kakeda, Pon, Chuckboy, Tad Carpenter, Steven Harrington, Chuckboy, Ryan Bubnis, Aaron Meshon, Maxx242, and mcbess.

Dunny Series 2009 PON Golden Ticket AP Murder Pigeon 3 Inch Dunny

The one Dunny Series 2009 figure The Blot still needs goes on sale later today! Pon has added some paint to his 3” GT Artist Proofs to make them look good and bloody, and rechristened the figures Pon's Murder Pigeon Dunnys. The paint Pon added to each figure by hand really gives his Pigeon Dunny an evil look, and I love it! Sadly, the Artist Proof Golden Ticket Murder Pigeon Dunnys are way out of The Blot’s price range (they retail for $300 each!). But I would be more than happy to accept one as a gift! ;)


Pon’s Artist Proof Golden Ticket Murder Pigeon Dunnys will retail for $300 each and go on sale today, Saturday, September 19th, at 1pm eastern on Pon’s online store.

Dunny Series 2009 Golden Ticket PON 3 Inch Pigeon Dunny

Earlier today Pon officially unveiled the design of his Golden Ticket 3” Dunny. It seems like every artist nowadays has a niche, and Pon’s pigeon theme is a great one. I’d dare say he’s done more to improve the image of New York City’s pigeon population than anyone has ever been done before. Pon’s pigeons show up in everything he does, and his GT is no exception. Just check out his great Pigeon Dunny design below:


What can I say, The Blot loves the Dunny Series 2009 GT 3 inch Dunny. Now I’ve just got to figure out a way to get one. For those of you willing to shell out some big $$$ for one, Pon’s putting his GT Artist Proofs up for sale tomorrow, Saturday, September 19th, on his online store at 1pm eastern.

Dunny Series 2009 Golden Ticket PON Pigeon Dunny Sneak Peek

Yesterday on Twitter Pon decided to give the world a little teaser of his soon to be released Dunny Series 2009 Golden Ticket Pigeon Dunny! (link) The Blot’s been dying to see what Pon’s GT Dunny would look like, and now we kind of know. The image’s blurry of course, but if you squint just right you can make out Pon’s second awesome looking Dunny in Kidrobot’s Series 2009.


Pon will be putting his Golden Ticket Artist Proofs up for sale sometime soon. As soon as we know more The Blot will be sure to let you all know!

PON - AP Grease Stained Take Out Dunny Chase and Canvas Set

PON, one of The Blot’s favorite artists, will be putting the Artist Proofs of his Kidrobot Series 2009 Take Out Dunny chase up for sale on his website tonight in a very special set! Not only has PON added some extra detailing to his Take Out Dunny to make it grease stained, but he is also including a handmade 5”x7” canvas to make this truly a set collectors will not want to miss out on.


Each of PON’s Artist Proof Grease Stained Take Out Dunny chase figure and 5”x7” canvas sets will retail for $120 and goes on sale today, Monday, Sept. 14th, at 9pm EST NOW. You can purchase the AP Grease Stained Take Out Dunny Set here at PON’s official website FeedThePigeons.net

Dunny Series 2009 Pon and Travis Cain Chase Figures Photos

Kidrobot’s Dunny Series 2009 is almost here! We’re just a few days away from the official release of KR’s newest line of 3” collectible designer vinyl figures, and The Blot is excited to bring you pictures of the toy lines’ two chase figures designed by Pon and Travis Cain.


Pon has quickly become one of my favorite artists, and I’ve been dying to find out what his two designs for Kidrobot Series 2009 were going to be. While his golden ticket design is still under wraps, the design of his chase figure has finally surfaced!


I love how Pon’s Chinese Food themed figure uses the Dunny platform. Kidrobot’s been altering the Dunny platform a lot lately in its 3 inch series (Touma’s Endangered Dunny and Devilrobots’ Dunny Series 2009 Dunny for example), but this figure really shows an artist thinking outside of the box. Get it, a Chinese Food take-out box! Man, I crack myself up. The ratio for Pon’s Series 2009 Dunny is currently unknown.


Travis Cain’s Series 2009 chase Dunny is a special one. As I alluded to on Friday, wood really is the new vinyl. Cain’s chase Wood Dunny is the first mass produced all wood figure made by Kidrobot, and I can’t wait to see one of these unique figures in person! Cain’s Dunny has a ratio of 1/100, meaning it will be pretty hard to get, but I wonder if it will be easy to spot while in a sealed blind box due to a difference in weight. I guess we’ll know more come Wednesday night.


Dunny Series 2009 goes on pre-sale Wednesday, September 9th, at select pre-release parties, and at retail locations worldwide and Kidrobot.com on Thursday, September 10th.

Kidrobot - Dunny Series 2009 Checklist and Ratios

Be sure to keep an eye out for 2 chases that slipped into the line-up, plus Golden Tickets redeemable for an elusive 3 inch Dunny by the NYC-based artist, Pon. One of the two unidentified chases was also designed by Pon, which is music to The Blot's ears since I’m a huge fan of his work. These are sure to be two Dunny designs you will not want to miss!

Baroness’ 30 Customs x 30 Friends Charity Auction

The Blot’s a sucker for a good cause, so I wanted to pass along the details of this charity auction put together by Kidrobot’s Toy Baroness. The following press release is from the Baroness herself:


30 Customs by 30 Artists: An Auction to Benefit the Children of Cambodia is the first step in trying to help the children that have impacted my life. After traveling to Cambodia last year I fell in love with the people of that country. Every day I think about the amazing children I met and how I could help them. Most of these children lack the necessities of food, clothing, shoes, and transportation. Many can't even afford the pencils and notebooks they need to attend school. So instead of attending class they sell trinkets at the temples in order to survive.


I have reached out to 30 of my friends and asked them to create a custom toy specifically for this auction. Every cent from the sale of these customs will go directly to help the children I have met in Cambodia. With the help of people that I have met in Cambodia, I will be delivering clothing, shoes, books, paper, pens, and bicycles to children of Siem Reap villages. It has been a passion and a dream of mine to use art as a way of helping children and communities all over the World, and I am excited about this first step.


Available now on eBay are one-of-a-kind custom works from: 123KLAN, Alex Pardee, Andrew Bell, Beast Brothers, Brian Morris, DEPH, DEVILROBOTS, FILTH, Gary Baseman, ILoveDust, Jime Litwalk, Joe Capobianco, Joe Ledbetter, Jon Burgerman, MAD, Maze23 Brooklyn, Mori Chack, Nathan Jurevicius, Pon, SEEN, Shawnimals, Sket One, SourBones, TADO, Tara McPherson, TILT, Tim Biskup, Triclops Studios, Urban Medium, and Christian Jacobs of YoGabbaGabba!

I am very excited about this opportunity to help people that have impacted me so much. I hope that you find a custom you love and bid! If you are interested in helping in any way I am not only looking for monetary donations- If you can provide clothing, notebooks, papers, or pens that would be greatly appreciated. Feel free to email me at toybaroness@gmail.com. Also, if you are interested in directly donating to a non-profit for Cambodian Children, please check out The Cambodian Children’s Fund.

Pon - Custom Dunny and A/P Fatcap Set

There’s a second exciting release also coming out tomorrow, Tuesday, June 17th, and this time it’s from New York artist Pon. As you all know I was really excited about his Feed Fatcap, which was released a few weeks back as a part of Kidrobot’s Fatcap Series 2. Well I had been hoping he’d be selling his Artist Proofs (A/P) sometime soon, and yesterday The Blot found out some exciting news.


Not only will Pon be selling 10 autographed A/Ps, he is pairing each one with a custom hand painted 3” Dunny. (link) According to Pon, the “idea behind the Fatcap is a clean bronze statue with a standard city pigeon sitting on his head with poop all over it. The Dunny is a companion to the Fatcap, but is an aged/dirty bronze statue with an albino pigeon complete with red eyes.” (link)


Each two figure set will be sold on eBay for $100/pair and will go on sale at 2/1 p.m. Central. You can find Pon’s eBay auction here.

Kidrobot Fatcap Series 2

Today Kidrobot released their newest line of 3 inch Fatcap designer vinyl figures. Fatcap figures have the same basic body as Kidrobot’s line of Dunny figures, but with a spray cap head (tying the figures to the graffiti community). Fatcap Series 2 includes 17 regular figures plus two rare chase figures by artists such as Bubble Fetishist, Tilt, DOMA, Sket One and MAD.


My personal favorite has to be PON’s Feed Fatcap. This New York artist’s work is really great, and I love his incorporation of Pigeons into everything he does. You can check out more of his work, including this limited edition print he collaborated on with kaNO, at his website Feed The Pigeons.net.


Check out a few of the other Fatcap Series 2 designs below. These limited edition figures are blind box items, retail for $6.95 each and can be purchased here.
