John Burgerman Mini Figures
Jon Burgerman is one of the most prolific illustrators in the U.K. His doodles have adorned platform toys, shirts and skate decks. On September 25th, when Kidrobot drops The Heroes of Burgertown, he can add a line of mini-figures to his portfolio. Fans of Jon’s style will recognize characters like Coco Gulab Jaman who’ve popped up throughout the years, even appearing as figures in a 2006 Artoyz show. The premise for the new series is that each character has been made into a toy as a reward for their achievements in Burgertown. Says Jon: “It’s a gentle jab at the cult of celebrity and how it’s the dubious accomplishments that usually get rewarded with recognition.” The blind-boxed vinyl series contains 16 standards and two chase figures and will retail for $7.95 each.
