KidRobot are onto a winner with the new FatCaps Series 2. These innovative vinyl toys take the body of the ever-popular Dunny but add a spray paint cap as a head. Then for an extra twist of irony, each figure is designed by a top graffiti artist. This range is so unique we just had to feature it at urbanretro.co.uk. In the new series, there are some really amazing figures. For instance, the toy created by Shok One is in a full British Bobby outfit with the head hidden under a chequered cap! And the design by Phetus features a Frankenstein-like character wearing a blood-splattered Doctor’s outfit! We’ve also got an extremely rare chase figure by Tilt, which has got a nice contrast of white paint splashes against a bright pink background. It’ll become a collector’s favourite fast! Standing at 3 inches tall, these figures will look great as desktop distractions. Check out all our FatCaps Series 2 toys at urbanretro.co.uk.

French graffiti artist Mist has been sprawling his sensational artwork across urban areas for some time now. So Kidrobot thought it’d be cool to ask him to use his incredible imagination to create a whole new toy series. The awesome result is Debilz by Mist. And we’re pleased to say we’re now featuring the range at urbanretro.co.uk. There’s a wide variety of cartoony, caricatured characters all with a tinge of wickedness about them. If you look at a design such as Daniel, you can clearly see he’s been inspired by a devil with his pronged fork and red skin. Then there’s Sylvie, who has a whole voodoo vibe going on, she’s even carrying a snake! We also love the hip-hop style of Jean Yves, who’s wearing a New York Yankees baseball cap. At 3-inches tall, these Debilz by Mist figures will fit nicely in any room in your house. So snap them up quick at urbanretro.co.uk.

The Medicom Bearbrick franchise has been going strong for over 12 years now, and it’s no exaggeration when we say it’s got an absolutely huge following. That’s why we’re made up to be bringing you the Medicom Bearbrick Series 16 at urbanretro.co.uk. There are kooky Japanese designs a-plenty in the new range – just what the fans have come to love. The Secret Horror figure by Souichi Negishi is intriguing, because of the contrast of the cute bear’s face with his spooky skeleton costume. DJ Ozma has also created two edgy figures; a Secret Nude Dancer and a perma-tanned surfer. On a separate note, there are some neat movie and TV tie-ins. If you’re into the Lost TV series you’ll love the rugged looking Jack Kubrick and glossy black Lost Bearbrick set. And then there’s the Bearbrick 100% Batman and Joker set, which features the classic superhero and his arch-enemy dressed in retro-cartoon style. There are so many different designs to see it’s worth checking out all of the Medicom Bearbrick Series at urbanretro.co.uk.

With its versatile features and fully customisable design, the Dunny toy has made a massive impact since its launch. And now it’s about to drum up a whole lot more support as the Dunny French Series is released. Dunny creators Kidrobot have collaborated with top French artists to bring you this ultra-individualistic range. We just had to have this weird and wonderful collection at urbanretro.co.uk. The French are setting the art world alight at the moment, so it was an inspired move by Kidrobot to bring out this unique series. A design really worth making a fuss over is the secret figure by SupaKitch. It’s a fox drawn in a classic French cartoon style complete with a mysterious eye patch and pinstripe gangster suit. We also love the eye-bulging toy created by Skwak, which plays on his Maniac character story. There are a whole lot more designs in the Kidrobot Dunny French Series to see at urbanretro.co.uk.
