NEW POST: Always impressive artist Sergio Mancini has made this disco dancing (and pimp-tastic looking) custom 3-inch tall Dunny named “Meteor.” I love the single gold tooth, the pristine afro, and the cartoonish face… a perfect merging of the '70s aesthetic with Mancini’s own style. This one-of-a-kind work of art is available now in the Red Mutuca Studios online store for $130. http://dlvr.it/C22xVf

NEW POST: We've thought great things about Sergio Mancini's custom designs for quite a while, so it was thrilling that @kidrobot gave him the nod last year by releasing his "Project: Dunny" design in the 2012 Series. Then, of course, they immediately asked him back for more: adding "The Selfish" to their 2013 Side Show Dunny Series. Now Mancini is releasing his Artist Proof (AP) copies of "The Selfish" 3-inch Dunny, which will be limited to 20 signed & numbered copies on the box & toy. Going above and beyond, which we love in APs, Mancini has specially crafted a khaki fisherman hat accessory for these copies and each will include a random, unique illustration of a freakish fish as well. Available today (Friday, August 9th, 2013) at 9AM Pacific time HERE in the Red Mutuca Studios's online shop for $65 apiece (worldwide shipping included). http://dlvr.it/3n0GSb

NEW POST: The talent base of the already impressive Red Mutuca Studios has gotten even better! After the recent addition of Philippines-based artist Quiccs, the artistic collective has added Charles Rodriguez and Walter "Chauskoskis" Jacott to their ranks. This announcement comes in the aftermath of their site being redesigned using the Tumblr framework, making it even easier for fans to follow them. Damn, the Superish Series 2 blind box custom Dunny series will be even more impressive now (if, in fact, that's what they're doing next). http://dlvr.it/3GMhJJ

NEW POST: Philippines-based artist Quiccs, who is also the newest member of the Red Mutuca collective, reveals to us this wonderful "Bulletpunk: Big Brother Stormtrooper Dunny," part of an artist series of pieces he's crafting inspired by characters from The Galactic Empire of Star Wars. As you can see, this 8-inch tall custom is done in the likeness of a 3-inch custom Quiccs created, though he added more of his Bulletpunk style — notably the Gundam-ish horns and the top vent — to the design. While I personally prefer the subtle skull & crossbones element on the smaller rendition, there's no denying the talent in making either one… let alone both! Fantastic! http://dlvr.it/39WTYB

NEW POST: Sergio Mancini's 2012 Series Dunny design, "Project: Dunny," has made the leap from 3-inch all the way to 8-inch, courtesy of Mancini's own talented customizing abilities! And the virtually exact recreation even includes a to scale compass accessory, like the original, as well as a blue printed cigarette and a transparent triangle, the latter of which was the accessory exclusive to Mancini's AP copies of the 3-inch design. This simply stunning piece will be on display, but not for sale, at the Red Mutuca booth at ToyConUK on April 6th, 2013. http://dlvr.it/36tcQQ

NEW POST: Previously revealed by us last week, Chauskoskis's "special guest" contribution to the Red Mutuca blind box series "Superish," aptly titled "Super Weenie," is a high-flying, goggle-wearing kinda guy. Though, if you look carefully at the above picture, his goggles seem to be set upon his base!?! Yes, he has completely removable protective eyewear, folks! So, without further ado, we proudly present to you the reveal of "Super Weenie" without goggles on: 'Superish' is a blind boxed custom 3-inch Dunny series that is being organized by the art collective Red Mutuca. Contributors include Sergio Mancini [reveal], Igor Ventura [reveal], Luihz Unreal [reveal], RunDMB [reveal], Tim Munz [reveal], Grimsheep [reveal], MAp_MAp [reveal], Matucha [revealed] and special guest Chauskoskis [teaser / reveal]. There will only be approximately 45 boxes in the mini series and the (long sold out) pre-order cost $130 per blind box; remaining available blind boxes won't be available until the series is ready to ship, which will hopefully be soon (though they are awaiting some shipments to still arrive so that they can box everything up). http://dlvr.it/2v8QQN
