Pissing off Scenesters Since 1995
Hordes of vinyl art fans packed the walkways of Prince Street this hot, muggy evening to get a glimpse of the Series 3 Dunnys released earlier in the day. Starting at 6pm, the mob swarmed into the tiny toy store, grabbing cases, single packs, and custom work designed just for the event–dubbed a trading night. Case after case was purchased, as hundreds of fans tearing into the boxes with their teeth, just to find out if they got the figure needed to complete the set. Old people, fat people, skinny people, men, women and hipsters dripped with sweat just to open every single Dunny and to find out if they got one of the rare chase figures or better yet, a golden ticket redeemable for an even rarer 8″ Dunny.
Outside everyone clustered together with local artists to swap their doubles and grab free swag courtesy of Kid Robot. Drinks were flowing and more fun was had than a New York City blackout. Similar events took place at underground toy stores and galleries around the country, but only New York can you stare dubiously at a 40 year old with a “I’m a Dunny trader” sticker while being heckled by hot chicks in mini skirts. Here are some picture of the event to wet your appetite.
