Imitation is Flattery

But a blatant rip-off is just disgraceful! Taco Bell has completely ripped off Kid Robot with their new kid’s meal toys. Called Bell Hedz they look wayyyy too much like Dunny’s with their various personas and packaging. Of course one can argue that it’s cool that the vinyl toy scene may get bigger than it was, but a lot of people in the scene seem are also taking a purist perspective. What do you think?

In response to this monstrosity KidRobot had a rally in New York City where they gave away 1000 Dunny vinyl toys, shirts, and stickers to “show what REAL vinyl is”. Here’s their campaign for it.

    So you guys buying lots of $45 tacos, are you? $58 bean burritos? $26 sodas? Then why diss a 99¢ knockoff of a waaay overpriced toy? Bellhedz cost closer to what “real” vinyl should. As a guy on another board said, who’s the chump when you pay think you’re slick paying $25 for a thing produced in China for three cents?
