the attempt to turn the popular wildbrain - backed brand into a film began at paramount, which several years ago optioned the property with aversano the catalyst. kidrobots are branded collectible character creations. the limited - edition vinyl figures are designed by kidrobot founder paul budnitz and then painted by a group of graffiti and graphic artists and musicians. the figures, along with an apparel line, are sold in high - end stores around the country. in this franchise - hungry climate, where we are getting more teenage mutant ninja turtles, a power rangers film and a play - doh feature being molded by paul feig at fox, why not a kidrobot feature ?

he recognized the quirky, intricate toys as works of popular - art that mixed many aesthetic movements he loved — including fashion, cartoons, graffiti, comics, music, and fine art. budnitz sold minidisco and sunk the proceeds into founding kidrobot in a california garage in 2002, leveraging the technology he’d developed for his older businesses. he moved the new company to new york city in 2003 .
i feel like this kidrobot store is very similar to other kidrobot stores, except the employees are cooler, less stuck up and way friendlier. they even allowed us to take a picture of an art piece they had which they were not selling but was a collections edition art piece. they had sales. i feel like that alone qualifies the five stars aside from the sheer selection they had which i thought was better than other stores. they also had a ton of archived items which were super awesome because you couldn' t get them anywhere else anymore. this store is centrally located in the shopping area on collins, so it' s easy to browse and find other stores in nearby areas. it' s also right next to a parking garage, which thankfully wasn' t super pricey !
paul budnitz is an american artist, designer, and entrepreneur. he is well known as the founder & ceo of superplastic, the world’s premiere creator of art toys & accessories. he is also the founder of budnitz bicycles, the luxury city bicycle brand, and is co - founder of social network ello. in 2002 budnitz created the designer toy brand kidrobot (which he sold in 2012) .
i collect a lot of kidrobot stuff, so naturally i decided to give kr sf a visit while i was in the area. i expected a lot from this store, rare items i can' t get online, great customer service, great prices. a lot of what i get from the online store or dealing with the kr message board. i was sadly wrong though. the place was definitely rammed inside with tourists and collectors alike. i was hard to get a good look at all the items let alone find an employee to help out. as i searched through the store though, i found nothing out of the ordinary. there wasn' t anything that i wasn' t about to buy at my local retailers back home or just simply order online. also i noticed the prices were fairly high for non kidrobot stuff. there were a few kaws pieces and they were marked up significantly higher than normal. overall if you' re a hardcore kidrobot fan there' s nothing really any different at this location other than the fact there are a few giant dunny and labbit sculptures throughout the store. also there are opportunities to visit signings by artists and things like that. unfortunately none of that was going on when i was in sf, but maybe next time !
i love this place. chance is the name of the game at kidrobot. you never know what toy you are going to get because it is random with each box. i been collecting the bunny' s and i got the one with a knife in its back super rare! as lucky as i might have been, i have seen the opposite. i saw a grown man cussing and screaming
why, why, why, i already have this one .
he demanded they take it back, but they do not do that at kidrobot. another collection i love is
the things that hurt
zipper pull collection. i got the gun zipper pull and use to wear in on my pants zipper. the girlfriend hated it, but i thought it was hilarious. as an adult, it definitely brings me back to my childhood or is it i never grew up? not sure .
he recognized the quirky, intricate toys as works of popular - art, pieces that mixed many aesthetic movements he loved - - including fashion, cartoons, graffiti, comics, music, and fine art. budnitz sold minidisco and sunk the proceeds into founding kidrobot in a california garage in 2002. leveraging the technology he' d developed for his older businesses and moved the new company to new york city in 2003, and then to boulder, co in 2010 .
i don' t think there' s a single thing to dislike about kidrobot. the novel combination of gambling and collectibles is sure to lure you in with a ravenous fury. my girlfriend' s sister has been a fan of kidrobot for some time, but this was my first time actually going into the store and understanding what takes place. the sister took the lead, and marched us into the store. there are larger, and rarer collectibles available straight for purchase, but the main draw are the small boxes filled with random collectibles in a given line. some of the more recognizable series include the simpsons and futurama, but there' s an array of other cute, strange, scary, and straight messed - up collections. i quickly got into the feel of the shop, and purchased a futurama collectible. opened the box, and got leela. but... but she looked so lonely. about 2 minutes later, i was back to the counter to buy another box - this time i got bender. i kept eyeing the boxes, tempted to buy more, but my wallet wouldn' t let me at the time (each box is about $ 10 - cheap, but i don' t have the money to buy 20 boxes and hope for the best). i' m sure this isn' t the last time i' ll be stopping by a kidrobot .
so they have a kid robot on haight in sf. . but here i am, going all across the nation to miami beach and buying stuff from this location. . why? idk - i' m a retard. . my husband and i love kidrobot' s adult toy collection figurines munny - whatever you want to call them. depending on the collection you pay around 6 - 8 for a blind assortment. you pick a box and according to the odds on the box you get some awesome character to showcase on your desk or bookshelf. it totally reminds me of digging into the cereal box for a prize at the bottom. i love the smorkin labbit and munny dolls that you can draw on. i also love their plush yummy breakfast dolls. . the clothing is quirky and super fun looking, but too kiddie for my taste. lets just say kidrobot is random, creative and fantastic. this is not a place to bring toddlers - its not a kid' s toy store, its an adult toy store - no sexual reference intended
i' ve been a fan of kidrobot since the beginning and it was sad to see the store closed. i thought woot bear would be a good substitute, but after my first visit, it was just not the same. the store is small and just empty. i understand they want to keep things simple and clean, but there was nothing to buy. here' s my wallet, i want to spend $, but there were barely anything to browse. i guess i' ll just have to shop online now .
exclusive: mgm has acquired the film rights to kidrobot, a collectible art - toy company, and the film company has hired matt ember & tom astle to write the script for a film that will mix animation and live action. they are coming off the dreamworks animation hit home. the film will be produced by scott aversano. the producer and scribes also worked together on the paramount film failure to launch, which starred matthew mcconaughey and sarah jessica parker. the writers’ other credits are get smart and the chris wedge - directed epic .
kidrobot is excited to announce their new line of collectibles, phunny! not dunny, but phunny, a line of 8” squishable plush figures featuring creeps, monsters and frights. the first wave of phunny has a few familiar creatures you may remember from the 80’s. you may want to avoid feeding them after midnight, getting them wet, and exposing them to light. gizmo, stripe and mohawk are the first to join the phunny line and will soon be available at your favorite toy retailers in august. each plush figure will retail $ 16. 99 a piece .
for the young to old, highly skilled to first - timers, each munny is a blank 3d canvas, ready for scribbling, painting, dressing up, and designing into whatever your imagination desires. this customizable figure is available in a variety of sizes, colors and styles, with some including fun accessories such as reusable markers or heroic stickers, making this the perfect artistic canvas for everyone from kids to professional artists. the essence of creation lies within. kidrobot’s munnyworld is a one - of - a - kind design experience that lets you create your own art toy !
kidrobot is probably one of the best toy makers in the business right now along with funko. this store even sells some funko products! it' s a very unique toy store and they really have some of the best quality figures you can find in the bay area. there is always a constant flux of new products so you might need to come here often if you' re looking for a particular line. service is friendly and they really know their stuff. if you' re a toy collector and are in sf, you need to check this place out .
as we scout our new location and go through this transition we want to thank all of you for your past, present and future support. we thank the fans and collectors that only new york can bring. we thank the committed artists and customizers who give of their time and talent and who have grown to be mentors and teachers. we thank the local partners, sponsors, and collaborators whose relationship and camaraderie we value working with. we could not be here without you and we will continue to bring you exciting new art, products and brands as well as the kind of experiences that only kidrobot can deliver .
only one word to describe kidrobot - one of the coolest store in the district with a distinct character, haight - ashbury. for those of us who grew up with the ninja turtles, futurama, simpsons, family guy, and gundams. this place has all the nostalgia and more. a store doubles a museum, one can spend hours in here peeking through the glass cabinets to find high quality figurines with flawlessly detailed paintwork. on my most recent expedition, i found the butters paladin from south park' s stick of truth game. score! having one of these guys being the resident of a corner of the room definitely adds something rocketeeriness to the atmosphere .
upon taking pictures of the storefront i was asked by another customer
are you a fan of kid robot
.... am i a fan? words cannot explain my dorky inclinations to this store. in hawaii we don' t have kidrobot or any other vinyls store, so when i get to stop by here i become like a kid in a candy store. pure excitement is flowing through my veins upon walking in and seeing the showcases of dunny' s, labbits, blind boxes, and so on. i also noticed they had a impressive series of teenage mutant ninjas and marvel munny' s, which i couldn' t help but to buy a whole bunch. the selection of clothes is awesome, not a lot but what they do have is pretty sick. they have clothes for mostly mens but they do carry a few pieces for women' s, kid' s, and baby' s. to my surprise there was a good selection of clothes that was on sale, i ended up buying a nice mens sweater for half the original price. everything is neatly displayed and organized, so things are easily accessible. which is unfortunate for those such as myself who lack self control in kidrobot and end up buying a ton of things they don' t need. so if you' re into pop art, street art, vinyls, japanese inspired trinkets, etc, then kid robot is definitely the place to go .
kidrobot is a dream for people like me, who love anime, comics, comfort tv, superheroes, scary - cute things, food personified, and mashups of any and / or all of the above. i wish the inventory would turn over a little faster - - often times i go months between visits and they still have mostly the same items. but i can usually count on them to have a new dunny series every few visits. dunnys are great, because the detail on many of them is striking, and at 3
you can collect dozens of them and they don' t take up very much space. i' m glad that they decided to keep this one open (or rather, spin it off to someone who kept it open) when almost all the other ones have been closed. fingers crossed .
not much by way of clothing but there are loads of
artwork
for sale. definitely a niche market. i used to subscribe to their email group, but opted out of the membership a few years ago. it' s rare to come across a kidrobot store, so when walking along collins and noticing the store front, i was compelled to walk in. i knew that the clothing was going to be overpriced. yes, it' s cool looking, but it' s also not sophisticated. t - shirts in general aren' t sophisticated as a genre. it' s a cool spot to purchase a little gift for your hipster friend. they' ll love it, obsess over the genre for a few months, and then be over it. but at least you kept them occupied for a while ...

more importantly, we are human. we are a group of dreamers who want to create a space where art, design and surprise meet. in a store. on our website. in a conference room. or living room. where the conversations about art and design take place. but it' s the element of surprise - the nod, the magic - that finds its way into all we do, which creates our point of difference. it keeps things interesting, making people want to stick around to see what' s next .
between artists and collectors. parents and kids. stores and shoppers. between one another. about new products. emerging artists. the backstory behind a creation. we get people talking. we get them excited. we bring art to life .
that feeling when you come across something new, unexpected, shocking, offbeat. a raw reaction that drives you to keep exploring and discovering - it' s pure childlike wonder that you can experience over and over. we want to make you react. positive or negative, but never indifferent .
