Urban Vinyl Toys producer Kidrobot

Kidrobot, the Creator of the Dunny & Mummy series

As you might imagine Urban Vinyl Toys are the result in most of the cases of a creative mind, or designer that comes out with an idea or concept for the next amazing Urban Vinyl toy and a manufacturer that will make out of that creative conceptualization, a finished Vinyl piece for the collectors.

That's the reason why when we talk about Urban Vinyl Toys, most of the cases we will listen a full description that most of the times will say the name of the piece, the designers Name and finally the manufacturer.

One good example a very popular manufacturer is Kidrobot founded in 2020 by Paul Budnitz with the credit of being the first creator and retailer of limited edition of Urban Vinyl toys.


As a manufacturer Kidrobot has been involved in the production of Urban Vinyl Toys that made a huge mark in the Urban Vinyl inindustry with their well known collections Dunny & Munny figures.


The Dunny editions have been designed by various artists, while the Munny edition came out as a set of Blank Vinyls for personal customization, or DIY (Do It Yourself)

What defines an Urban Vinyl toy?

Urban Vinyl Toy or simple toy?

When we want to define something such as what defines an Urban Vinyl Toy, some times the best way to do it is buy giving lots of small things that define the whole. In most of the cases what makes the difference between a standard doll and a designer toy is the idea of design applied to it.

For example in general lines most urban vinyl toys are manufactured under some standard size such as 2" high,5", 8" and 16". Also in general all the Urban Vinyl Toys follow certain design patterns and concepts such as anthropomorphic figures (half human half animal), or Comic, Graffiti styled shapes


Some times Urban vinyl Toys, or Designer toys also can be found in plain white (unpainted) under the concept of DIY (do it yourself piece) Urban doll, and the main idea of this type of Urban Vinyl Toys is that the owner must customize it with colors and shapes.

The rest is about exploring, but trust me after this picture I am sure that you will be able to recognize from far an Urban Vinyl Doll, or Designer doll from any other current doll sold in Toy Stores.
