Well, it looks like our release date is around early 2013 so we're trying to explore our options.... [ read more ]

The project was the brainchild of Tim Munz, Igor Ventura, and Manny Rivas, and in 2009 the Most Wanted Series 1 brought together some of the most talked about customizers on the Kidrobot board in one blindboxed collection. Comprised of limited run custom Dunny figures, the series was an instant success, garnering many accolades for their quality and professional packaging.
