“DayDreamer” 3″ Dunny by ClarkR

by Unsung Zero on Nov 5, 2010 • No Comments

Hard to believe that this amazing custom by ClarkR is a 3″ Dunny.  Following on from Clark’s similarly amazing DayDreamer Mini Munny, he has made 20 3″ DayDreamer Dunnys (now sold out unfortunately).

The Dunny inside the head is the mini Dunny from Alex Anderson’s Fatale Series design and the clear head is from a Damarak the Destroyer dunny.  You can see the work that went into the Dunny HERE.  Really love the little details like the tiny kite.  If anything, this is an (approx) 1″ custom of a 3″ Dunny ,which makes it all the more impressive.

Teddy Bear 2.5″ Holiday Qee

by Unsung Zero on Nov 1, 2010 • No Comments

T’was just weeks away from Christmas day
And Santa was busy – needless to say.
Boys and girls from across the land
Made holiday wish lists for the big fat man.

Ole St Nick asked Toy2r, ‘Would you please help me
with a cute adorable holiday Qee?’
So with some magic, some love and a whole lot of care
A Teddy Bear Qee was made for all to share.

For stockings hung by the chimney so high
Don’t let this collectible pass you by.
From Toy2r we offer this Qee
In hopes you find it, under your tree!

You’ll find the 2.5″ 2010 Holiday Qee available for pre-order online in the Toy2R USA webstore – shipping in time to fill your stockings!  This limited edition Qee will only be available for a limited time so make sure you pick one up before they run out.  You may get lucky and score the mystery figure ;]

by Unsung Zero on Oct 22, 2010 • 1 Comment

Ever since the HUGE launch party at myplasticheartynyc and building buzz at NYCC, Blankie has arrived and is now available at most designer vinyl shops.

Each of these 12 limited edition collectibles was envisioned and created by up-and-coming designers from countries around the world including Matucha (Mexico), PO! (Argentina), Igor Ventura (Brazil), Stor Dubine (Germany),  McCoy (Canada), Menilla (Mexico), Miss Shelby (USA), Cvele (Serbia), Jec (Mexico), Atomic1970 (Spain), Chupa & Cabra (Italy), and Jaoc (Venezuela).

This groundbreaking series was created and selected by the Aarting design community. Artists from all over the world submitted 196 designs, and over 150,000 toy lovers voted to choose the 12 unique designs that are included in this amazing release! These stand 3″ tall and come blind boxed with 25 pieces per case and are set to retail for $9.95 each

Some great designs selected from many talented artists spanning the globe, shame there’s nobody representing (or rather selected) from the UK though.. sad face.
