The Kid Robot Dunny is perhaps one of the most (if not the most) iconic models in Western vinyl toy circles ever. Its shape has been used in so many series that it’s honestly difficult to keep track.
Tim Tsui’s new Da Space Warrior Dunny is in an absolute league of its own. This is like a future Planet of the Apes design of note.
