Kidrobot Loves Amanda Visell: Mini-Figures, Dunny & Plush for 2010
There's no doubt about it, Kidrobot LOVES Amanda Visell! CLICK THRU for a quick preview peek at upcoming toys from KR featuring a new mini-series (shown bove) and 20-inch Zebracorn Dunny (both for an April 1st drop-date) and a sneaky-peeky-teasy for a "Jackalope" plush.
Zebracorn 20-inch Dunny-PRESS: Amanda Visell’s contribution to the all-female artist Dunny Fatale series has blown up to mythical proportions with this 20-inch version of her happy, hyper hybrid. Limited to 200 pieces worldwide and retailing for US$350, Zebracorn arrives at Kidrobot stores, kidrobot.com, and select retailers on April 1.

TRE-IMPRESSION: Personally, I think the Tic Toc Apocalypse Mini Series is brilliant, as it embraces Amanda's characters, previously seen as wood-carved toys and 2D-illustrations, and manifests them as collectible mini-figures (instead of vinylizing them 1/1-scale to earlier size-incarnations) and made accessible for loads of fans who may have been unable to score an original piece for their collections. Bravo, KR!
And we end off with a teaser-snap, as posted on KR-founder Paul Budnitz's blog of an "unnamed" furry plush, for which I've inserted the Jackalope-figure (from the Tic Toc Apocalypse Mini Series top-left) for your visual reference (heh):
