Dunny Series 2009: released!


By Sama Team | September 10, 2009


Vinyl toys. First time we actually saw one of them was 3 or 4 years ago, when Max Dana, on a cold winter morning, put on the conference table, a toy from spanish designer Jaime Hayon. We looked at it, we wondered what it was, who designed it and ultimately if it had any kind of sexual use (you know, vinyl toys...).

Max told us a lot about vinyl toys before but it was the first she shared with us a piece of her very private collection. Since then, some of us started to buy toys and even started a collection. In simple words: we became addicted because of (or thanks to) Max.

New toys are going out every week but the Dunny Series 2009 release was highly expected. People at New York based store Kidrobot organized Dunny Series 2009 Trading Parties all over North America yesturday night and in France, Artoyz also organized a launch event at their shop in Paris (more info on Artoyz Blog).

The Sama Team will be sent there later today for a closer look at the new series. Incognito...

The Sama Team's Top 5: Frank Kozik / Dalek / Andrew Bell / Kronk / Supakitch for Koralie.

What's your favorites?

AAAAAAAAAh! Same for me! First time I ever heard of toys was from Max :P

I like Kozik and the Dunny Series 2009 from Kozik is my favorite one!

Maybe I’ll go to Artoyz too, how will I be able to recognize you if you’re there incognito? :twisted:

You know, these toys are… toys. Shoes are for women, toys are for men. Or the other way around!

¡Hola!

Jaime Hayon is a very creative designer and he lives in Barcelona. I always thought his graphic style and Max’s would make a fantastic collaborative work :)

I had a great time, I was at Artoys with Arnold and a mysterious Sama Team member who wants to stay anonymous :P

I had a lot of fun (maybe we should have come to the party yesturday night), the dunnies were there but we didn’t stay long, we took a beer altogether nearby, that was great!

He told me the anonymous member of the Sama Team had a Sama t-shirt. How can we have one too?
