We arrived at San Diego Comic-Con on Friday around noon, and the first thing we did was to head to the Giant Robot booth. The boyfriend and I planned to get a case so we could co-own the entire set. We got our case and got in line for Dave Choe’s signing.
There are two guys standing behind us talking about the Munkos. One of the keeps asking annoying questions like “Are they limited edition? Are they numbered? Are any of the figures numbered? Does the box say it’s limited?…etc.”
I was willing the guy to shut up with my mental powers, but it didn’t work. My boyfriend finally turns around and says, “Some people don’t care about that stuff because they’re fans of the art. Some people genuinely like the artist and want to support.” The annoying guy mumbled something about not meaning anything by what he said.
Maybe my boyfriend appeared rude but he had to make a point. It’s not always about exclusivity and having what other people don’t have. Sometimes it really is about the artist and supporting his/her work.
We love Giant Robot, and we love Dave Choe. Now I can honestly say that we love Munko. We liked the toy before we bought up but now we really love all of them. As soon as we came home, we opened the entire case and had our Munko photo shoot. Get your own Munko at GR. If you buy a case, you get all 12 figures. Honestly, I love them all.
1. So glad your BF said something. There are people out there that buy toys because they LIKE them…not to resell them for money
2. Munko is awesome! Great pics, thank you!
thanks. normally we would’ve ignored the nonsense but something about the guy’s tone was really annoying.
Munko really is awesome! Good Smile Company and GR did a great job bringing the artwork to life.
I just love the fact that GR doesn’t try to play the chance/gambling game and gives all twelve different versions if you buy the whole box. That’s a rarity in the blind box world IMO.
I love all my Munkos!
I totally agree with you! I had my friend Laina get a whole case for me and I can’t wait to see them! I don’t have enough room in my house to collect collectibles XP who does? Maybe you scared off some flippers?
dude, i love that the bf said something. good for him. :)
awesome that you get all of them if you buy a case. that’s a great idea.
tardis & grrrace: seriously!! if i can’t get all the available figures, i will not buy a case. ahem…Kidrobot!!
brigitte: glad you were able to get a case! i’m debating selling some of my toys…just so i can buy new ones. it’s a sickness.
I love these guys too! I ordered a case off of GR before SDCC. =)
