My Six Buck Addiction

Yeah so... I have a bit of a thing for Dunny. Just a bit. I don't go overboard or anything (there's no Kidrobot store in Boston!)

Dunny are "designer toys," sold in blind boxes -- you don't know which one you'll get until you buy and open it. They're designed by "urban" artists (grafitti/stencil artists, mainly), produced in limited editions and sold for about $6 per figure. They become collectible, and each series has one or two very rare models that aren't pictured on the box, called "chases" -- the pom-pommed S3 Feric chase (Feric is the artist; S3 is Series 3) at top fetches $300 today.

 

I'm not a serious collector but I think they're cute ;-)

 

After I got a few dupes I created a "trading network" by turning Lo & Nell (and their mom) onto Dunny too [evil laugh]. They made Dunny Town, and a big Dunny banner!

The two above, "Cheez" and "Ribeye," were designed by Planet Propaganda for the Cooper Hewitt's shop and sold in conjunction with their Design Life Now exhibit. There are often extra things like this, in between series issues. I don't usually buy them but meat & cheese, I couldn't resist.

 

 

Flying Fortress, above, wasn't a chase but it was a limited production piece in Series 3. It goes for around $120 now. I don't buy Dunny post-retail and so far, I don't want to part with any of the in-demand ones I have; current values for entertainment purposes only :-)

Really cool. I think I saw these advertised in this funky whacky underground toy magazine I picked up, not sure. It is amazing the kinds of toys that are out there. Dolls that are scary, weird robots and stuff. Not for kids, but for adults. I think us '70s kids are the first generation, on a grand scale, that continues to play games and collect toys into adulthood.

Fellow Tabbloer and Dunny Collector...Let's be honest with ourselves.
You have a Feric...it's time for an intervention.

If you're ever in New Haven, There's a great store that doesn't sell out too quickly with the new releases:
Channel One Skate Shop.
Don't worry, I just picked up both KAWS cat teeth banks from his site.

Why don't you tell them how you REALLY got the Feric? with the map and everything.... ;)

Seriously, they are awesome pics-- I am so glad that dunny town made it into the mix!

Dna, yes, I had the map (of where the chases are allegedly within cases) but I pulled five at once and don't know whether this was from a "hotspot" or not. And next time I was there, I told the guy I'd gotten the Feric, and he told me they shuffle the cases before they put them on the floor. So I don't know whether the "map" helped or not!

Nice job! Be careful that this addiction doesn't lead to the "the harder stuff"...
