ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Unless you were living under a rock, you were aware of the debacle that was accidental distribution of Kidrobot Series 5 Dunny’s GTs. There was a lot of back and forth about this issue: Namecalling, suspensions, anger, humor, but like most things, the issue primarily faded until some real news came forth. Straight from Huck Gee:

This Friday, February 2oth at 12Noon PST, we are releasing Huck’s alternate colorway Dunny Series 5 Golden Ticket artist proofs. As some of you may have heard, due to a factory/warehouse snafu, the original Golden Ticket Dunnys from Series 5 were accidentally shipped out to customers prematurely. To fix this error Kidrobot and Huck ran another colorway of the Golden Ticket Dunny, shown below in all his blurred out Golden glory. Why blurred? Because nobody has seen him yet, and I’m not quite sure when Kidrobot will be shipping these out to Golden Ticket holders. So, just to keep that surprise, somewhat still a surprise for them…. we blurrily present: The Great Glorious Soaring Golden Grandfather Munk! Each figure is signed and numbered, only 25 AP 3″ Dunnys in this set, $100 per figure.

These go live at the same time as Huck’s Minoso Ushi-Oni customs, so no doubt the eBay servers are going to be jammed. This is a cool test of an artist’s success. Present a blurry image and watch it sell out in tenths of seconds. Think what you want, haters, but Huck is at the top of his game.
