Kidrobot Collectible Toys are Haunting Me (In a Good Way)
For some reason I am being followed by Kidrobot and his Dunny and Munny toys.
Three weeks ago I was at the First Friday art night on Santa Fe Blvd. in Denver when I saw a Kidrobot flier for their Munny decorating contest. I had no idea what it was, but the premise (paint a Munny toy and send it in to see if you can win a contest) seemed interesting. Eventually I chucked the flier and sort of forgot about it.
Today, I was looking at the lineup for the Fortune Innovation Forum (looks like one of the coolest conference I have ever seen) and I saw that the founder of Kidrobot, Paul Budnitz, was a speaker.
With that, I looked around for more information on Kidrobot. It turns out that Kidrobot produces collectible toys (or art depending on who you ask) that are sometimes designed with well known artists. Here are the links that I found, for your enjoyment.
