Club King

The 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.This is the Suited Court Dunny set that I made for a private collector. His only direction was to base the set on the 4 suits and this is what I came up with. Each head is cast in clear resin and dyed. Each design has their individual suit showing in the actual resin on top of their heads...looking down, and the rest of the designs have hints of their suits throughout. Queen hearts torso is also cast in resin and the hearts show through to the bare resin. And Club Kings cape is custom screen printed. I'm a full time graphic designer and I moonlight as a toy customizer. I've been sculpting and painting my whole life but I've only been working with vinyl for the last 5 years. Much of my work revolves around existing pop culture because not only can I relate to that, but there is a common thread of experience throughout like minded people who can also relate to my work. I primarily do private commissions and about once a year I work on a new series which has yet to be planned for 2012.
