Kid Robot

Perhaps the most prolific distributors of both plain and personalised vinyl toys, Kid Robot is an incredibly influential business that now has products sold all over the world; from New York to London. Their most famous ranges would without a doubt be 'Dunny's' and 'Munny's'. In this blog post I will detail a few examples of each vinyl shape.

Below are images of just one of the many KidRobot series based around a popular culture theme. This particular one focuses on the characters from cult animation series 'Futurama'. Others include: TV shows South Park, Family Guy and The Simpsons, NBA Legends, Comic Superheroes and video game 'Street Fighter'.

On a personal note, out of all the personalised Munny's I found online, the image to the left is without doubt my favourite. It's an interpretation of a character found in the pages of many of the 'Tank Girl' graphic novels. This proves to me just how much fun and versatility can be created with a single figure, paint and a little bit of imagination. I also admire how the little prop beer can has been crafted and certain appendages have been added seamlessly to the figure itself, such as the ears and the eyebrows. They really help bring the idea to a well rounded conclusion. This single image has re-enforced just how keen I am to undertake this particular brief.
