Kidrobot Brandt Peters Carnies available at Tenacious Toys

Posted: March 4th, 2010 | Author: thespacewanderer | Filed under: Vinyl, toys | Tags: , , , | No Comments »

krcarniescase-2Coming in full sealed blind box, these creatures created by Brandt Peters will haunt you, with it 20th century cartoon style but much gloomier and have a sinister look. And even if gain some critics from collectors when it was previewed for the first time by KidRobot, but it my opinion these gray scaled 3 inches figures are worth collecting. Well it mainly because I’m a fan of Brandt Peters’s works.
The series are available to order at Tenacious Toys

The skies darken, the wind howls, and you’re drawn to the ominous carnival that mysteriously appeared overnight in the middle of the cornfield.
The fairgrounds are populated with creatures that possess a sinister cuteness.
