Kidrobot has just unveiled a great start for 2010 with their new Kidrobot Black line. In a nutshell, the company is going to release super-limited figures in one colorway that honor the tradition of vinyl toys that we all love. This is about original shapes and the amazing feel of vinyl and less about intricate paint/deco.
First up, is Gary Baseman’s incredible Midnight Magi (8”, shown here as a silhouette). Limited to 200 pieces,It will drop on Tuesday at noon EST, exclusively from black.kidrobot.com for $100. Once they’re gone, they’re gone. No follow-on colorways.
As the market for vinyl toys continues to grow, its a challenge to support that grow with toys with broader appeal and still stay true to the roots of this scene. In my opinion, Kidrobot Black is a cool project which moves things in a very positive direction.
