As soon as UNCLE's Grapejuice Dunny popped out of his egg he went right for the fridge. As you can see from the purple stains on his face this attraction was only natural. The abstract color combinations that make up the monsters grunge influenced splotchy skin tone give him an aloof loner appearance. One eyed with spikes in his head, the Dunny's arms are moveable while the head is stationary. Given his bloated cheeks I wonder if the creature's mouth is full of grape jelly or if he's just had his wisdom teeth removed. Although due to his misshapen mismatching teeth I doubt he's seen a dentist in a bit. Check out Opportunity LOL's Flickr Set to see this creature from multiple angles. Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but this splendid little guy has definitely won me over. This is one Dunny I would help phone home for sure!
If a Jurassic Park custom blind box series is ever released I hope they come packaged in giant eggs. Something is aesthetically pleasing to my inner child to receive a custom toy boxed in this way. As if channeling my younger self who spent far too much money putting coins into toy vending machines, I had an inexplicable giant smile on my face as I took the big plastic egg out of it's shipping box. The added layers of paint gave the egg texture along with a perception of realness that belongs in movies. During the photo shoot I noticed some of the paint came off onto my white backdrop (no big deal), proving again that one should always be mindful to take extra precaution when displaying something that has been hand-painted in your home.
Grapejuice is from UNCLE's recent blind box series titled "Monsters and Demons." While there are 15 in the series, four are still available to purchase. Originally sold through the Kidrobot forums, you can email UNCLEstudio@gmail.com to get your hands on one. Each Dunny has a reasonable price tag of $65 shipped in the United States. Want to commission UNCLE for a custom? You can e-mail the California based artist directly for all communication. To see the latest release of UNCLE's agreeable misfit creatures follow him on Facebook and Twitter. Also, while very little information is available right now UNCLE is working with our friends Tenacious Toys on a new Dunny series called Misfit Monsters. Exciting, right? Keep Opportunity LOL bookmarked for more details coming soon!
