Triclops Studios "René London" Dunny by Kidrobot

What's been hinted at for a while now, and posted up HERE and HERE, we are finally getting a look at the boys from Triclops Studios new 8" Dunny design... which by the way is inspired by witty and thought-provoking Belgian artist René Magritte! This new Dunny comes with a transparent blue vinyl head, and has the classic apple/clouds painted on it... similar to the og painting, and on the back of the suit it reads “Ceci n’est pas une Dunny” meaning this is not a Dunny... a funny word play on Magritte's saying! Although this design is not my personal favorite (as I have seen some great ones from Triclops) I still like the concept, but the execution seems a little lacking. The piece comes with black bowler, umbrella, a pipe, is limited to 1,000 pieces and is set to drop on August 18, 2011 for $75.

New figure turnarounds from Smash Tokyo Toys... and it's not what you think!

We just got word from MattyBoomBatty of Smash Tokyo Toys that he is currently in the planning stages for a new figure, and above are the early turnarounds for it. This will be a Japanese vinyl mini about 4" tall called "STUPID NINJA" or maybe just "RALPH", and according to Matty this will be done in unpainted vinyl and released in Japan only. Although it appears to be a western influenced design it will have rough, scaled skin and will lose that dragon-esque look after that has been added. According to Matty "I wanted something original that wasn't just "another dinosaur"...this is an anachronism, where the f**k did a ninja and a dinosaur meet? It's also a nod to Captain Ahab and Moby Dick." I personally dig the dino... it's a strong looking figure, not completely sold on the ninja though. What about all of you, any suggestions for Matty? More on this very soon as these probably won't see the light of day until late 2012.
