A blend of sculpture and popular art, many of Kidrobot's exclusive toys are extremely rare and collectible. Artists often create a series of only a few hundred 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. Feric Feng is the founder of Tenzones Digital Entertainment Company Ltd. and a Taiwanese illustrator, conceptual designer and animator. His highly acclaimed illustration style hovers between reality and fantasy and is a surreal blend of the East and West, the past and the future, and the natural and mechanical.

His animation, "Inside Out", a short that demonstrates the unity in all things (whereby a little component becomes one with a fish, a whale, a dingo, a gecko, a planet and more), has been screened at the Holland International Animation Festival, the Ottaway International Animation Festival and the NYEXPO, among others. After graduating in film and animation at the School of Visual Arts (New York) and further earning a master's degree in design from Yale, Feric went on to work as a conceptual designer for Square USA, Inc. for the film "Final Fantasy".
