No Strings On Me 8” Dunny by WuzOne x Kidrobot

Kidrobot will be releasing its newest 8” production Dunny next week, and it’s the Pinocchio inspired “No Strings On Me” Dunny by WuzOne! Based on a previously released 3” custom Dunny, the name of this design comes from the lyrics of the classic Disney song “I've Got No Strings” that appeared in the iconic 1940 animated film Pinocchio. For those of you unfamiliar with the Spanish artist, WuzOne draws inspiration from graffiti, typography and cartoons. He has developed an identifiable style known for clean lines, bright colors and high contrast.

The No Strings on Me 8” Dunny by WuzOne, his first production piece from Kidrobot, will go on sale next Friday, August 14th, at Kidrobot.com, both Kidrobot retail locations and select retailers worldwide for $60.

First Look at Kidrobot’s Upcoming Slate of 8” & 20” Dunnys by Ron English, J*RYU, Scott Tolleson & WuzOne

Thanks to our friends at myplasticheart, we now have our official first look at Kidrobot’s upcoming slate of 8” and 20” Dunnys! While KR has been teasing these four releases pretty hard over the past 6 weeks, this is the first time the designs have been seen in full. The most impressive of the four designs is without a doubt J*RYU’s breathtaking “It’s a F.A.D.” 20 inch Dunny! “It’s a F.A.D.” was originally designed as part of Kidrobot’s now canceled Army of Snipers 3” Dunny Series. Once that production series was discontinued, J*RYU took matters into his own hands and turned it into a seriously amazing custom 20” Dunny. Thankfully Kidrobot felt the same way and decided to produce the design as a 20” production Dunny. Expected to ship in Fall 2015, “It’s a F.A.D.” will retail for $449.99.

Releasing in August 2015 is the Pinocchio inspired “No Strings On Me” 8 inch Dunny by WuzOne! This is the super talented customizer’s first production Dunny and it’s about time. WuzOne has been killing it with his customs for years now. Based on a previously released 3” custom, this Disney themed design looks fantastic and will retail for just $59.99. Ron English fans should be very excited to learn that his classic Grin 3” Dunny (inspired by Disney’s Mickey Mouse) from Kidrobot’s Dunny Apocalypse Series will be given the 8” Dunny treatment this September 2015 when “Grin” is released for $74.99.

Last but certainly not least is the beautiful Imperial Lotus Dragon 8” Dunny by Scott Tolleson! Based on his design in the Dunny Evolved Series, this super detailed figure will ship in Fall 2015 and retail for $99.99. Is this piece stunning or what!?! While I am surprised Kidrobot chose to release so many previously produced designs, albeit now in a larger scale, I can’t imagine any collectors complaining. All four artists have huge followings and these Dunnys look killer! I just wish we had more time to save up for their releases.

Kidrobot’s Upcoming Release Schedule Gets A Little Clearer!

It sounds like the long hiatuses between Kidrobot releases is finally over! A lot has happened to our favorite designer toy company in the past year that caused those long periods of silence, including being sold to NECA and the installation of Frank Kozik as KR’s creative director. Now it seems like every day we see a new teaser for an upcoming release! Those teasers include possibly a new Circus Posterus Dunny series featuring works by Brandt Peters and Kathie Olivas, a new Adventure Time blind box series, a Junko Mizuno 8” Dunny, Scott Tolleson 8” Dunny and the very first production Dunny by WuzOne. But that’s not all!

Yesterday, Entertainment Earth posted a number of previously unannounced Kidrobot figures available for pre-order. While we don’t have any pictures of these exciting releases, the titles alone have The Blot super excited! While it’s not expected to hit store shelves until January 2016, we now know KR will be releasing a production Sketracha 3” Dunny by Sket One!!! It is going to seriously look amazing next to my custom resin Sketracha 8” Dunny. September 2015 brings us a new Tricky Cats blind box mini figure series, while November 2015 will see the release of more South Park mini figures! I can’t wait to find out what the “Many Faces of Cartman” is all about.

In January 2016 Amanda Visell’s long rumored artist blind box mini figure series “Ferals” will be released! If the teaser images hold true, this series will utilize a number of Kidrobot’s different Munny World characters. Last but not least are three artist inspired The Simpsons vinyl figures! Scheduled to also be released in January 2016, Kidrobot will be teaming up with world-renowned artist Ron English to release “Grin” versions of Homer and Bart as 3” vinyl figures. While that may not be something new, this next release is! KR is teaming up with Kenny Scharf to release an all new, medium sized Bart Simpsons vinyl figure inspired by Scharf’s work. This figure sounds like it could be insane! I can’t wait to find out more about all these awesome new Kidrobot releases.

Custom Batman Possessed Vinyl Figure by WuzOne

The Blot’s not sure how I just found out about this amazing custom by WuzOne, but it’s too awesome not to blog about! Originally made for Gallery1988 SF’s Crazy 4 Cult Custom Show, Wuz has turned Luke Chueh’s signature figure, the Possessed Bear, into DC Comics’ the Dark Knight. Best of all, he transformed the Possessed Bear’s controlling little demon into the Joker, creating a great juxtaposition of Batman and his archenemy.


The Custom Batman Possessed seen above was painted by WuzOne with acrylic paint and makers on an original white Possessed vinyl figure. You can check out many of the other killer custom figures for this show at G1988 SF here.
