Puzzle Dunny 20” Art Figure by Locknesters x Kidrobot
Kidrobot continues its celebration of the Dunny’s 20th Anniversary with the release of this epic Puzzle Dunny 20” Art Figure by Locknesters! For this amazing collab, Kidrobot has teamed up with Fleet Hower, the architect-turned-toy-designer behind Locknesters, to bring fans the first ever 20” Puzzle Dunny – a striking fusion of art and innovation. Locknesters toys are more than just collectibles… they’re 3D puzzles that challenge, engage, and inspire.
This limited edition Dunny was handcrafted in Brooklyn using a mix of cutting-edge technology and traditional artistry. Each piece is 3D printed and uniquely smoothed through sanding, tumbling, and buffing, making every Dunny one-of-a-kind. The tumbling process leaves each puzzle piece with its own distinct striated color and texture, ensuring no two figures are exactly alike. It then receives a lacquer finish giving this piece a sleek, polished look.
After previous collaborations on 8” Puzzle Dunny Art Figures, this supersized 20” Edition is a first, and it’s available exclusively at Kidrobot.com for $600. This figure doubles as a versatile platform, ready to elevate anything you can imagine. However, unlike the previously released 8” Puzzle Dunnys, this 20” Puzzle Dunny features 36 puzzle pieces that come assembled using an internal bolt system and cannot be disassembled (so then is it really a puzzle at all!?!).
