Beautiful/Decay and Mishka hooked up on a special collaborative tee that pays homage to the Grindhouse era of film making. The shirt comes out just in time as the new Tarantino/Rodriguez film “Grindhouse” releases. It features a Grindhouse movie poster featuring the two labels as titles for the “films.” It’s a dope concept that should have Mishka Fans proud since NYC was a breeding ground for a lot of the Grindhouse flicks that were released back then. You can get these shirts now at Beautiful/Decay’s online shop. Only 200 tees were made.

Japanese Artist/Designer, Kenzo Minami was acquired by Kidrobot to design a special edition 8” Dunny. This isn’t the first time Kenzo has applied his geometrical/futuristic type design style on a Dunny. He has designed a Dunny 2 years ago for a Dunny series 2 collection that was only 3”. The only difference now is that this Dunny is strictly a special listing for those registered to purchase one. 350 Figures were made, and Kidrobot still cannot guarantee a Dunny for all registered members. The listing ends today and if you’re one of those who registered, check your email now and see if you’re one of the lucky ones.
