Kidrobot Announces Frank Kozik as the Creative Director

In a big announcement today from Kidrobot and NECA Toys, the two companies have joined forces together and will now be under the NECA family. This will definitely be a big change in the designer toy world and we are looking forward to seeing what may become. This would not only be the big announcement to come from Kidrobot, but they would also announce that Frank Kozik would become the new creative director. This is truly amazing news and we will definitely be looking forward to seeing what Mr. Kozik will have planned for the company in his creations and new outlook.

Kidrobot Joins Forces with NECA Toys

In an announcement sure to bring cheers and tears of joy to die-hard fans and artists around the world, KR Purchase, LLC (a wholly owned subsidiary of National Entertainment Collectibles Association) and Kidrobot today announced the signing of a definitive agreement under which KR Purchase will acquire Kidrobot. The globally recognized creator of designer vinyl toys joins the growing NECA family of specialty entertainment companies, and will proceed as an artist-run company under the creative direction of Frank Kozik, renowned graphic artist and creator of the Labbit urban vinyl toy line.

“It’s rare to have the opportunity to join forces with an artist-centric company like this,” said Joel Weinshanker, COO of NECA. “We are doubly thrilled to be able to allow it to grow organically and flourish on its own, which is what we’re certain it will do with the involvement of Frank Kozik as Creative Director.”

“When Joel and NECA approached us about joining forces, about his intention to support us and allow Kidrobot to move forward with autonomy, I knew we had found the right partner," said Bob Africa, President of Kidrobot. “The timing of Frank agreeing to join us could not have been better and we are incredibly excited about Kidrobot’s future.”

Kidrobot will remain headquartered in their Boulder offices, while they are supported by NECA’s (located in Hillside, NJ) vast network of suppliers, creatives and internal team members.

Kidrobot Box of Boom May 2014 Release

Kidrobot recently had a very special super limited sale, Box of Boom that was limited to only 50. We have been fans of the mystery grab bags since we collected baseball cards back in the late 80's and loved the thrill of seeing what would be inside. The Kidrobot Box of Boom is in the same lines and it was like an early Christmas present to see what surprises we would get inside. Kidrobot mentioned that there would be a possibility to get an unreleased, sold out item and we received just that with a Surprise Andrew Bell Lemon Drop Dunny.

The Kidrobot x Andrew Bell Lemon Drop Dunny was just the beginning of what we would find in our Box of Boom.

We were able to score all of these blind boxes which included South Park, Family Guy, Marvel, Frank Kozik, Mardivale series, Futurama, and more.

We also would score three of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Ooze Action GITD figures, including Donatello, Leonardo, and Michelangelo.

 Kozik 7" Marvel Deadpool Labbit

4" DIY Munny that includes wipe-off markers

South Park The Stick of Truth "The Grand Wizard" Cartman

Mardivale Dunny Series "Skeleton" by Scribe

Kidrobot Red 3" Special Edition by Keith Haring

In our Futurama Series 2 box, we scored the Hyper Chicken 1/80! 

Overall, our Box of Boom from Kidrobot was definitely filled with lots of goodness! We really enjoyed opening the box overall and then having to continue to open the blind boxes. With a limit of only 50, we are sure people received some amazing surprises and look forward to seeing what they scored. This is our first participation in the Box of Boom and it will not be our last. 

Thank you Kidrobot!!
