If you’re in New York City today, go check this out! Kidrobot is doing a “Death to False Vinyl” Rally to protest the Taco Bell rip off toys, that I blogged about yesterday. This week Taco Bell said they were releasing a new “Urban Vinyl Figure” titled BellHedz, and if you compare the two figures you can tell that the Taco Bell figures are a complete ripp-off.
Join the rally from 11:30am-1:30pm today at Houston & Lafayette, just off Broadway in NYC. Kidrobot will be giving away over a thousand Dunnys to show the city of New York what’s a REAL vinyl toy! Wear your “DEATH TO FALSE VINYL” shirt and join the rally!! Two full hours of FREE Dunnys, shirts, stickers and more (while supplies last)!

I wish I could go. I want free Dunny swag!

Please tell me this is a joke? Does Taco Bell really think they can get away with this? Clearly they are totally jacking Kidrobot! These little guys practically have the same bodies as the Kidrobot’s “Dunny” and “Munny“. The packaging is the same and they are blind boxed just like the Kidrobot toys. (They come packaged in identical boxes. The boxes are the same in every way and you can not see what is inside.)
The only difference I spot with these vinyl figures are their heads, since they are shaped like bells. Bells! Haha! I get it…Taco Bell, Bellheadz. Brilliant! Original! NOT!

Big brands want to be associated with this street art movement because its a way for them to look cool. You know what’s not cool? Big companies jacking other companies ideas and selling them as their own. That’s WACK!

Check out this New “Knorr Sidekicks” commercial. Doesn’t that salt shaker resemble a Kidrobot Munny as well? Hmmm……….

Dunny Endangered! Animal instincts are sharper than ever in the limited edition hyper series, Dunny Endangered! by Kidrobot. Featuring 15 designs (and 2 chases) by 13 incredible artists. They came out May 21st and are going extinct fast!
I like the Lion, the Racoon, the Fox, the Owl and the Pig (he comes with a chainsaw.)
Check out this short stop motion video that was made for this series.
And while you’re at it, do you remember this video by Green Jelly called “Three little pigs”?
Haha! So good! I liked this video back in ‘93. It’s a cool claymation rendition of the classic fairy tale with modern twists, such as pot-smoking pigs, an appearance by Rambo, and a Harley Davidson-riding wolf.
