Designer Frank Kozik’s pieces seem to get better and better. You may not know his name, but you would most certainly know his designs such as the smoking labbit.
Leaving the design classics of Dunny/Labbit aside, Kozik ups the ante (exclusively for KidRobot) with this 14-inch Beethoven bust inspired by Alex’s love for the legend in A Clockwork Orange. It’s $200, but I really want one—thank God I am in the UK where they don’t deliver.
I also really love the Mongerforce Sarge, a smoking toy, and the pink grenade is also to die for, no pun intended.
As already mentioned, the Labbit/Dunny are classic characters, so much so that they have their own range of bags, t-shirts and plushies in their likeness.
Oh, I want it all right now!
