A blend of sculpture and popular art, many of Kidrobot's exclusive toys are extremely rare and collectible. Artists often create a series of only a few hundredThe toy is based on a rabbit figure with distinctive tubular ears. The origin of the name Dunny came from a combination of street slang and one of the early "Devil Bunny" prototypes. The Dunny is sold in four sizes - 3", 5", 8" and 20". The toy has three points of articulation; a 360 degree rotational head and two arms. An artist card or sticker is also included with the 3" Dunny from a series. Most 3" Dunnys and some 8" Dunnys are normally sold as "blind assortment"; the figure is packaged inside a sealed foil wrapper, such that the buyer is not able to see which figure and accessories they are buying. Sealing the figure prevents people from opening and peeking in the boxes and buying only the figures they want. Most Dunnys are packaged inside a clear plastic bag in addition to the foil wrapper. In the second-hand market, this assures the buyer that the article was never on display and is in a "new" condition. With the success of vinyl toys as a medium for expression, many fans and artists have put their own design onto blank Dunnys.Kidrobot is excited to introduce the new Exquisite Corpse Dunny Series. The artists of Red Mutuca Studios have breathed new life into the Dunny platform, creating an otherworldly rendition that can split apart and be interchanged. Have you ever dreamed of being Dr. Frankenstein, piecing together your own mad creation from various parts? Regardless of if you answered "yes" or "no", we're fairly certain that you'll love the Exquisite Corpse Dunny Series. Reimagining what the Dunny can be, this collection features a brand new version of the Dunny, one that is magnetically held together at the neck and waist, allowing you to easily interchange sections from the various designs! Assembling the twelve talented artists of Red Mutuca Studios, the Exquisite Corpse Dunny Series features designs by Chauskoskis, Gorgocho, Grimsheep, Igor Ventura, Luiz Unreal, MAp-MAp, Matucha, Mr. Mitote, Quiccs, RunDMB, Sergio Mancini, and Tim Munz.

Each Dunny comes in a foil bag and then blind boxed to add surprise and delight to each open while preserving the collectibility of the series.
