WHAT'S NEW

Endangered Animal "TIGER" custom Dunny Series from Kendras Customs!!!

Created by Kendra Thomas of Kendras Customs, this awesome looking set of custom Dunny's is first in her series of Endangered Animal custom Dunny's. Each set will be limited to just 5 pieces, with a chase in each set. The first set is Tiger, with the chase being a white Tiger... and how rad do these look!?!? Three of the subspecies of Tigers are completely extinct already and only a little over 3,800 Tigers are estimated to be left in the wild from the remaining subspecies.

Kendra mentions, "I was very reluctant to do a white tiger, because while they may be beautiful, they are not purebred, they are actually only caused by severe inbreeding. But I figured by doing so, I can bring awareness to what they really are. The double recessive gene that causes the white tiger pigmentation causes many heath problems and defects. Only 1 out of 4 cubs born to a white tiger pair will be white, and about 80% of those white tiger cubs will die early one due to complications that come from the white pigmentation gene. Every white tiger is actually cross-eyed as well, whether or not it shows because the gene that causes the pigmentation also causes the optic nerve to be wired to the wrong side of the brain. This makes them very dependent on their owners (along with them not being as intelligent as a purebred tiger), thus better for people who use them in "shows"."

Releasing on Saturday, September 23rd at 9am PST in her online store HERE, these will be up for grabs and retailing for $110 shipped within the US. International shipping is an extra $35... but wait, there is more! For each purchase you will receive a custom, hand painted, Dunny and a virtual adoption of that corresponding animal from WWF.org as Kendra wanted to create something that actually has meaning to it. Each set of 5 animals she does will correspond to a critically endangered, endangered, or threatened animal species. So it's a win/win... get an amazing custom Dunny and help spread knowledge about this beautiful, almost extinct, animal! For more info, and digs on Kendra's art... be sure to follow her on her Instagram!
