Ganger The Gibbon

Elena Kazi (a.k.a. dj Kiten) is an artist/toy designer based in Athens, Greece. With a BA Honors Degree in Graphic design, a lifetime passion for drawing and crafts, an unconditional love for music plus a multiyear experience in dj-ing, it was only a matter of time until she found a way to combine them all in one through her art! So in 2015 she decides to take her toy design seriously and releases her first toy, BMBOX III, which she presents in one of the largest Comic book Conventions in Greece, AthensCon. Her work is heavily influenced by the Hip Hop culture. The animal kingdom, cartoons and video games, kidrobot, retro music gear and Laura Ashley are also major inspirations! 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.
