Braincut Dunny

The toy is based on a rabbit figure with distinctive tubular ears. The origin of the name Dunny came from a combination of street slang and one of the early "Devil Bunny" prototypes. The Dunny is sold in four sizes - 3", 5", 8" and 20". The toy has three points of articulation; a 360 degree rotational head and two arms. An artist card or sticker is also included with the 3" Dunny from a series. Most 3" Dunnys and some 8" Dunnys are normally sold as "blind assortment"; the figure is packaged inside a sealed foil wrapper, such that the buyer is not able to see which figure and accessories they are buying. Sealing the figure prevents people from opening and peeking in the boxes and buying only the figures they want. Most Dunnys are packaged inside a clear plastic bag in addition to the foil wrapper. In the second-hand market, this assures the buyer that the article was never on display and is in a "new" condition. With the success of vinyl toys as a medium for expression, many fans and artists have put their own design onto blank Dunnys. Malik is a gorilla – made out of branches. Malik is a rusty locomotive – silent and heavy. Malik is a man with his head burried in the soil. Malik is a man accidentally triggering a bomb. Malik is all of this and once he is finished with a work of art he goes on to the next project claiming that it won’t have anything to do with the previous. However, he is always visible by a sinister backdrop in all of his work. The beautiful landscape is actually a minefield, the frog is a fat politician and the flamingo is a chain smoker, cause he has to wait for public transport. The gist of his work is seldom visible at first sight. It takes a moment of looking at an illustration, a painting, a drawing or a sculpture to see what it might be all about. It so happens at exhibitions that visitors are looking at a painting, smiling, then approaching the work of art and, realising what they had just looked at, stepping back with an irritated look on their faces. Surprising the audience is what Malik does best. Always with a twinkle in his eye. His style is hard
