OK, hang onto your seats, literally. I just stumbled upon the next incarnation of “The Greatest Do It Yourself Toy.” The Seated Munny photo above was accidentally leaked with some other images. I recognized the cutting mat and immediately contacted Huck Gee. At first, he denied any knowledge of the Seated Munny. But after some interrogation, he cracked and admitted to redesigning Kidrobot’s Munny as a subtle dig on current events like AIG and their misuse of taxpayer’s money. Basically, he’s not taking the matter sitting down. So in signature Huck style, he created the Seated Munny. Expect to see this piece sometime in the next couple months. Rumor has it that a few KR stores are giving away prototypes, so run down and tell them Huck Gee sent you!
[By the way, this has been a little April Fool's joke. Huck sent us the pic (which he's doing for a custom), and I made the whole story up. Wasn't that fun? It was for us. Probably not so much for folks working at KR stores. Thanks for the laughs!]
