Coincidentally, Gary had twittered this earlier in the day: "I foresee the "Keeper of Our Darkest Dreams" will be unleased to this Earth tomorrow." ~ Whether or not they are both one and the same, remains to be revealed.
WHAT IS KIDROBOT BLACK?
TEXT: Kidrobot Black was created by Kidrobot founder Paul Budnitz out of his love for vinyl toys.
The line is inspired by the aesthetic of the late nineties urban vinyl toy movement, with an emphasis on texture and simplicity of form and color. Part of the goal of Kidrobot Black is to revisit this aesthetic and modernize it with cutting edge designs by Kidrobot’s top toy designers.
We have invited some of our favorite artists and asked them to use BLACK as a theme, and to concentrate on simple, elegant form rather than on elaborate paints. Artists are urged to take risks they might not otherwise take.
Kidrobot Black toys are created especially for Kidrobot's most devoted fans and collectors. Each toy is produced in a super-limited run.
The toys will arrive from time to time on the Kidrobot Black home page: black.kidrobot.com.
