Christie’s Pop Culture auction slated for Wednesday, June 25th 2008 @ their Rockefeller Center location features a wide variety of entertainment collectibles. Mixed in with the movie, television and comic collectibles are several designer toy lots . In addition to Amanda Visell’s custom 20″ Gnome Eating Bat Munny (est. $3000 – $5000) and Sket One’s 20″ Kong Dunny (est $3000 – $5000), there are several other lots that caught our eye. Sucklord is represented with four lots including a great Gay Empire Attack! display (est. $1500 – $2000) shown above (Image: Christie’s ).
Beyond the custom pieces, there are several production figures up for launch — including a lot of 3 full unopened Dunny sets : Dunny LA, Colette, and Tattoo ($2000 – $3000). There are several other Dunny lots as well — Gary Baseman, Deph and Huck Gee (HMNI) . Joe Ledbetter collectors will be interested in the Mr. Bunny lot ($1k – $2k) as well as his “The Defender” painting ($3000 – $5000).
With the previous Phillips De Pury & Company Auctions and now this Christie’s Auction, designer toys are starting to be appreciated and collected outside of the niche. Good to see. Finally, congrats to Amanda Visell — Christie’s is using an image of her custom Munny in the Pop Culture auction banner displayed on their site.
