Debuted at a super spectacular event at CiRCA during Toronto’s L’Oreal Fashion Week, this iconic doll figure from Kidrobot is being auctioned to raise money for War Child Canada. Name and Description “Black Star” The inspiration for this MUNNY are the following three statements: Simple is enough excess Common is uncommon Love uncomplicated Runners Up Damzels in this Dress Greta Constantine Preloved Lucian Matis And don’t forget the Karl Munny

I was featured in the National Post. No, no it’s not recent, it’s from Fashion Week (October 27, 2007). I’m lazy and someone else scanned the paper for me. Check it out, I’m dressed to mill.
