Mega Munny for MUNNYWORLD
If you are in New York right now, you can go see Jon’s 18-inch Mega Munny at The Eloquent Deliquents Gallery on Wooster Street. The MUNNY WORLD show is on view for just 3 days (November 13-15th) and includes pieces by some great artists and toy customizers like Doktor A, Huck Gee, Buff Monster, 64Colors, Devilrobots, Andrew Bell and Touma, among many others. I like a lot of the customs, but I’m iffy on the new line of DIY toys Kidrobot is promoting with this show. I’m not 100% sure we need more blank amorphous animal toys, particularly given that at least one looks like an already existing Qee shape and not to mention what artists can do with a 99 cent “rollie” deodorant stick.
But alas, I am a blogger not a businessman, and I’m sure these will sell like hotcakes and Rosie O’Donnell will buy stock. Not near New York? You can buy Jon’s one-of-a-kind Mega Munny here (through tomorrow only)! Not flush with cash? Enjoy the journey as much as the destination? Here’s a video for you. P.S. That’s Kidrobot’s typo, not mine!
Heroes of Burgertown Dunny and Munny Mashups
The legacy of many successful toy artists began with a contribution to a series like Toy2r’s Qees or Kidrobot’s Dunnys. Based on the success of such platform toys (and other going-ons in the designer’s career), a signature figure or a mini-series followed. Leave it to Jon and Stu Witter to reverse-engineer the process, taking The Heroes of Burgertown and morphing them into Kidrobot’s trademark Dunny and Munny characters. Above you see a mashup of Tiny Hero and The Gobbler, which has been dispatched to Kidrobot Miami. Below is Super Golden Bimlar, one of the chase figures in the series, who has been turned into a mega-Munny for Kidrobot LA. Finally, there’s Coco Gulab Juman, with Sausage Dunny ears (and Alfonso mini-Munny) hanging out in the window of the new Kidrobot shop in Chicago. Jon and Stu previously collaborated in 2007 on Pink Turnip and WorryKnott.
