To celebrate the opening on January 22nd [6 to 8:30 PM], Kidrobot will release the Ye Olde English Dunny Series featuring 17 figures designed by top UK artists including Triclops, Jon Burgerman and TADO. Series artists will be on hand for the event to sign the new toys.
The toy debuts start with the Dunny series and keep on rolling throughout the month long run. On January 29th, Kidrobot will release a special edition of Kidrobot 16 – UK Punk featuring a Union Jack inspired paint job, a studded belt. This one is limited to 300 pieces for your collecting pleasure.
Then on February 5th, it’s Frank Kozik’s 1984 Smorkin Labbit. The 10” piece features a collage of Ronald Regan photos.
