As May starts to wind it’s way down, Kidrobot has announced their upcoming releases for June. As usual there’s a few mini figure series, like Mist’s Debilz pictured above. This 11 figure series incorporates the distinct style of Mist onto unique sculpts. Look for this series to arrive in stores June 12th and check down below for the rest of the June releases.

June 5th marks the release of Krauts, the next in the growing Peecol line. Maybe someone can explain this concept to me. Weirdo pink dude in a tree suit with a German name…ooooooooooookay. Limited to 600 pieces, I’m willing to bet the bright colors alone will be enough to sell people on this one.

There’s a double whammy on June 19th as the next step in the Munny series is released alongside a new 8 inch Dunny. The 4th series of Munny figures come complete with a form of disguise, a marker and other accessories. I find it kinda funny that despite the quality of the sculpt, many customizers still prefer to strip and style Dunnys. With that said, Devilrobots will be releasing the Eggy Dunny with a pearled coat that same day. As much as I like the pearl coat and the color scheme, wasn’t there an egg themed Dunny not that long ago? I mean, would it kill anyone to make a bacon, crepe, and/or french toast figure?

Kidrobot doubles down on the 26th as well. First, Mad Barbarians have created a mini figures series along the lines of those awesome pull-n-go toys we all had as kids. Only now, they’re designed by a dope pair of artists and you don’t know which one you’ll actually end up with! If that wasn’t enough, the Taiwanese grafitti force that is Reach, lends his aesthetic to Kidrobot for the 6 inch Reach Bear in three dope colorways.
