Im not a big fan of dunnys and don't plan to collect every single figure...but I always tend to find one or two from each series I'd want to add to my toy collection. After getting myself a paypal, an account on ebay, and (recently) an account on kidrobot forums (you can find the BEST toy deals there)... I think I can officially consider myself a designer toy/vinyl addict. Of course, my lack of "income" prevents me owning much of the bigger pieces, but that's okay.
Anyway, the dunny 2010 series were officially released today...and I definitely see a few that I MUST get my hands on. Rather than purchasing blindboxes, I'd probably just wait on the opened ones for sale on kidrobot forums. Im excitedddddddddd!

Dunny 2010 series!
One of the rare ones designed by SketOne. Pretty tight pop art design based on/influenced by Roy Lichtenstein's work.
Designed by Travis Cain. I saw this and immediately thought, "I NEED THIS ONE!!!!!" I think I love this more than I love my to-fu dunny from the 09 series. I've seen the balloon head concept done a few times, but this one is just WIN. The metallic head, the blue & orange color combo, the cute faces...AHHHH
Another dunny design from Amanda Visell. Her works are seriously growing on me. Im thinking of collecting all of her dunny designs (been trying to get the unicorn one from fatale series). Her style is so unique and distinct.
Ketchup dunny should be pretty easy to get my hands on. I think the ketchup cap on the dunny ear is an awesome idea. Im actually very surprised that the ketchup dunny isn't a chase figure, but thats a good thing!
Designer Chairs! + others
I've seen these mini collectible chairs like years ago and remember thinking, 'who the heck wants to collect mini chairs that looks like they're for barbies'...but I saw the recent series and suddenly had a 360 change of heart haha
They come in blindboxes for like $12 each (?) and each chair is a shrunk down version of the latest chair design. I don't think i'll be collecting these since they're over my budget. I mean I could just buy a couple of blind boxes, but I think they'll only look good as a set displayed together.
Tiny picture, but the only one I could find of all the series (including the rare ones)
Bigger picture of the regular series.
I really like most of the designs and I can imagine a furniture designer or interior decorator collecting every single piece. *sigh* if only I could afford all the series...
A pretty old Kaws x Pipo figure. Im not a huge fan of Kaws figures although I do like most of his collab works. I don't think I will ever own anything by him in this life time (cause I can't afford them), but his chums figure are starting to grow on me...maybe I'll buy one if I win a lottery or something. Anyway, about this Pipo figure...it feels very nostalgic. Reminds me of the asian toys I used to own as a child which makes sense because Pipo is an old Japanese police mascot and Kaws just added his own twist to it.
Saw these juicebox cameras (good for stalking! haha) on a blog somewhere and thought they were pretty neat + cute. Again, they are stalker friendly.
Guess thats all for now. I recently went on a trip to Nevada, very fun and lots of sun at the beach. I was lazy and made my sister do most of the picture taking...they're pretty boring pictures so im unmotivated to blog them (but i will, eventually).
Oh and I also updated my profile info. It should be a bit more interesting now.
