Kidrobot’s Black line is a minimalistic line of black themed designer vinyl figures/statues. Their next release, Lilitu, is really gorgeous and unique, the kind of thing that would definitely stand out in a collection. Coming in at $250 for an 8 inch vinyl though, definitely well out of my price range. You can check out [...]

A reader just sent me some of these images via email, seems the next Kidrobot set of figures will be South Park! Apparently there will be a total of 16 figures, more details as I have them.

Kidrobot’s next line of figures, Family Guy! While I’m not a Family Guy fan, both their Simpsons and Futurama figures were top notch so I’m sure any Family Guy fan is gonna love these. If you like them, feel free to preorder a box over at BBTS.

They’ll be at booth #4529 and the exclusives are : Simpsons 6″ Lard Lad ($45), 3″ DJ Lance Dunny from Yo Gabba Gabba, and a 3″ special Sket-One Dunny. Thursday – Ron English signing from 11am-12pm for his Figment bust, [...]
I’m surprised I hadn’t heard of this earlier, but apparently as of this month, Kidrobot isn’t allowing retailers to open blind-boxes and sell the figures individually, nor are retailers allowed to sell the opened boxes on Ebay. Given that Kidrobot is probably the largest player in the designer toy industry, this seems a downright bizarre [...]
That’s right, two Kidrobot figure reviews within a few weeks. Don’t get used to it, since the Simpsons and Futurama ones are the only sets of theirs I’ve bought more than one figure of.
A few weeks back, Kidrobot released their set of random boxed Futurama mini-figures. A friend of mine purchased a whole box of them for my wife and I, here’s my thoughts.
