Kidrobot 10-Inch Resin Dunny Bookends Are Pretty Damn Sweet

Bigshot Toyworks did a fantastic job sculpting these Dunny bookends for Kidrobot. They're KR exclusives so don't look for them on our site - gotta grab them here! I like seeing KR expand into home goods. I honestly have very little extra shelf space for more toys, but there's plenty of opportunities for toy-related items to invade other areas of our home! This move makes sense, and they're just beautiful. No brainer. Dunny fans will be all over these.

"Collect Your Home" with these decorative bookends featuring your favorite Kidrobot character, the DUNNY.  This set of resin 10-inch tall DUNNY bookends comes coated in a classy white gloss outer finish and feature a stepped clear resin design extending through the center of the pieces.  This set will bring brilliance to any room in your house!  Get these kidrobot.com exclusive bookends before they are gone.

Bigshot Toyworks' Gnomeboy Gets Dissected with Jason Freeny

Bigshot Toyworks is proud to announce a new collaboration with the infamous and always amazing Jason Freeny! Jason has been a friend of Bigshot Toyworks for many years. In that time, they’ve worked on numerous projects together including the recent Bugs Bunny Anatomy sculpt for Kidrobot. Naturally, there's been talk for some time about a more personal collaboration, and now Bigshot Toyworks is ready to unveil a new project blending Jason’s unique anatomical dissection with one of Bigshot's in-house IPs: The Gnomeboys.

 

Behold: Ragnar “The Metal Gnome” Hellstrummer! He puts the Rok in Ragnarok! Ragnar is all Metal...all day long...even while doing laundry. He is dark and moody and is ready to set the stage on fire with his black metal guitar licks. We just hope his guts don’t spill out before the end of his solo….

 

  

The Ragnar Anatomical Dissection figure is 6” tall, hand-crafted from polystone in the world’s most metal place of crafting... CHINA!

 

Ragnar is a one-time collaborative project limited to 200 pieces in the standard colorway, with preorders available now at the Bigshot Toyshop:

Preorders for the standard edition of Ragnar will ship to customers after NYCC. In order to slake the black thirst for metal that inevitably creeps up at conventions, two more super-limited colorways will be created, including the Black Death Edition Ragnars to be sold at NYCC and DCon.

About Horrible Adorables

Horrible Adorables are the creations of Jordan Elise Perme and Christopher Lees; a wife and husband team from Cleveland, Ohio.  They met at the Cleveland Institute of Art where Jordan graduated with her BFA in Fiber & Material Studies, and Chris was pursuing training in fine arts after completing his BS in Mechanical Engineering.

 

Jordan and Chris bring their soft sculptures to life by meticulously arranging patterns of felt scales onto hand carved forms.  The resulting characters have qualities that are both cartoonish and eerily realistic at the same time.  Horrible Adorables are strange hybrid creatures from a fantastical world.  Their facial expressions and postures reveal recognizably human emotions.

Klim Kozinevich Interviewed on Adventures in Design Podcast

Our friend Klim Kozinevich of Bigshot Toyworks is interviewed by Mark Brickey on the AMAZING Adventures in Design podcast. They talk toy design and development, working with clients, managing development projects and the evolution of Klim's career... all the dirty details, from tendonitis due to days of sculpting by hand, to the early moment of desperation that led Klim to don a homemade monster suit and hand out resumes outside of Toy Fair.

REALLY fun to hear the backstories of "the dude behind the dude." He's come a long way since then, stacking up some of the biggest brands in the world as his clients. Listen here on the AID website where you can play the track via SoundCloud or iTunes.

SNEAK PEEK: Munny / Labbit Death Dealer - Frank Frazetta x Frank Kozik x Kidrobot

Frank Frazetta's "Death Dealer" is possibly the most iconic and badass painting in the fantasy genre. Dating way back to 1973, it has achieved legendary status in the fantasy nerdling sphere... and now the Master of Labbits has endeavored to bring the iconic imagery to his Labbity world. Here you see a SNEAK PEEK of the Death Dealer Munny riding his Labbit steed. Soon to be revealed at the Kidrobot booth at Toy Fair in New York, this will ACTUALLY be a production piece from Kidrobot!

Follow their blog for more info on that release, I don't have details yet.

Labbit x Death Dealer crossover concept by Frank Kozik, brought to life in the capable digital hands of Klim Kozinevich and Bigshot Toyworks....  we have here a production piece so badass, even my wife wants one!

If you needed more convincing that Kidrobot is BACK in a big way, here it is. Mic drop....

Here's the original Frazetta painting:

BREAKING NEWS, DOC: Jason Freeny x Kidrobot x Bigshot Toyworks x Warner Brothers

Just when you though that the art toy scene has taken a wrong turn at Albuquerque, this piece is announced! Jason Freeny has been tapped by Kidrobot to utilize their Warner Brothers license to officially produce an Anatomical Wabbit! Brought to life under the design direction of Bigshot Toyworks, this piece promises to be a glorious hunk of tasty carrot-chompin' plastic! Will be debuted at Toy Fair in NY this weekend. I'll see if I can get you some actual pics. Stay tuned, doc!

So stoked. For a behind-the-scenes look at how Jason Freeny developed this piece (yes, sculpted by hand, before the concept was turned over to Bigshot), check out his photo gallery on Facebook.

Four Horsies of the 'Pocalypse now available in Bigshot Toyshop

I am particularly excited about this release as I took part in almost the entire process as an employee of Bigshot Toyworks - watching the development process, conceptualizing, setting up and running the Kickstarter campaign, creating the website, running the social, overseeing the sea shipment, running trade show booths, and finally helping to fulfill the Kickstarter rewards packages. After a full year, the Four Horsies of the 'Pocalypse are FINALLY available for purchase in the Bigshot Toyshop here.

The Four Horsies are packed in a 4-pack box called the POCAPYPSE NOW Gift Pack and you can pick the Original (painted) Horsies as seen above, or the super limited GID or Clear variants.

Introducing Yuna, the First Character in the Dream Big Friends Doll Line

The Kickstarter to fund the production of Yuna, the first character in the expansive Dream Big Friends line of positive, encouraging dolls, is well on its way! Click here to back the Kickstarter - you can order the 10", fully articulated Yuna plus her kitty Kamata for just $40 + shipping! 

We (Klim, David and I) just got back from DCon where we revealed the Yuna prototypes to the public for the first time. It was a ton of fun and we had 100% super positive feedback - people LOVE her! Below is David creating the Yuna Inception photo apparently. 

Dream Big Friends is a doll line concept developed by David Horvath and Sun Min (Uglydoll creators) and Klim Kozinevich (Bigshot Toyworks creative lead) that fills a gap in the market for dolls which are fully encouraging of imagination, with positive messages and cute, approachable design.

For instance: Yuna loves science and rockets. She wants to own her own rocket company and fly to Mars, where she will be the first person to walk on the Red Planet! She loves K-pop music and hanging out at Giant Robot (dig the shirt!). She has a cat named Kamata and likes wearing funky socks, and her big red coat is her favorite piece of clothing. The idea is to make Yuna, and all of the Dream Big Friends characters, as real as possible, with unique and distinct qualities that makes them all special. By showing how different and special each character is, Dream Big Friends hopes to encourage both girls and boys to celebrate that which makes each of them special.

David, Sun Min and Klim have big plans to release more characters of all different backgrounds, ethnicities and yes, boy characters in addition to the girls. The first step is getting the Yuna Kickstarter funded, and everything will take off from there. Back the Yuna Kickstarter now, and check out the intro video below:

As an aside, I should mention that I (Benny) am managing the Yuna Kickstarter for Bigshot Toyworks, like I did for the Maddies and the Four Horsies previously. Hope you can support us and get a pledge in! We even have smaller rewards for $5, $10 or $20 in case you want to back it but can't afford the $40:

Yuna measures 10" tall and she is a fully articulated doll with real clothing. Dream Big Friends dolls will be safety tested for kids.
