A Munny is a figure created by Kidrobot and made out of vinyl with movable joints. The initial idea was undertaken by taggers/ street artists/ street art designs and toys from (illegal artists) who have come to bring back their work legally to the public to display their works. The figures are blank and the owner can decorate them using pens, pencils, markers, paint, and other supplies. Alternatively, some people commission artists to design Munnys for them, or artists design them to sell. In MUNNYWORLD, you can do anything you want! MUNNY, BUB, TRIKKY, RAFFY, and ROOZ are the soft, super smooth vinyl figures that make up MUNNYWORLD. Each one is a blank canvas, and all ready for scribbling, piercing, painting, posing, piling, dressing up, and sculpting into forms straight from your imagination or you can keep them just as they are. See how great you truly are. Do amazing things and create more than ever before. And, most importantly, have fun with MUNNYWORLD In his youth, Bryan Collins valued drawing as a refuge.

Escher, Bryan realized the immensely profound ability for art to communicate with parts of the mind, otherwise untouchable.

In his late teens he was captivated by the imagination of Tim Burton. Art was everything to Bryan, because it gave him a voice. Then, in his early twenties, Bryan took on an apprenticeship at a tattoo shop and thought he had reached his dream. However, the tattoo field proved to be restrictive and itchy for him. There were so many rules that began to make Bryan's art stiff, rigid, and lifeless. Everything he drew had to be interpretable as a tattoo. It wasn't allowing him to experiment with the pushing out of boundaries, so he left the field. Afterwards, a detour was taken from art and he chased a career in music. Bryan joined a band called Jeremiah's Grotto and began touring from
