If (or when) I ever get married, I’m going to have Anna (Monstafaktory) make my wedding cake toppers. These are custom wedding Dunnys made for Kidrobot forum member raddo. Monstafaktory makes awesome customs, and these are really adorable. I particularly like the anime-style grins. Common interests are important in a relationship, and I’m happy for [...]

While Flickr-hopping, I found these amazing custom Dunnys on Okkle’s page. I wasn’t looking for anything in particular, but I’m glad I spotted these. Boulder and Boulder Jr. are the first rhino-bunnies I have ever seen. Boulder has a tough look on his face while Boulder Jr. shows a sweet smile. The paint job is [...]

Last week I blogged about the 3 Bears Mini-Dunnys made by Wuz One. This 3″ Zulu Mong is a different custom Dunny by Gawein, another Kidrobot board member. As he states on the thread, he used POSCAS markers to paint over the black background. (I love when custom artists discuss the how’s of their work.) [...]

Unfortunately, they’re not available from Kidrobot. The 3 Bears minis are custom Dunnys made by Wuz One, a member of KidRobot’s forum. I first [...]
