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 Burgerman and Stu Witter to reverse-engineer the process, taking Jon’s first series of figures from Kidrobot (last month’s Heroes of Burgertown) and morphing them into KR’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.
