We’ve made just TEN carefully crafted 20-inch Dunny sculptures in honor of the iconic artist’s “Giant Size $ 1.57 Each” artwork. Warhol originally made the piece in black and white for the cover of a 1963 album of interviews with himself and several fellow artists, but he revisited the art in 1971 in the form of four colored, hand-printed versions limited to 75 prints each. This 20-inch Dunny was inspired by the red version.

Q & A with Toy Designer One-Eyed Girl AKA Kasey Tararuj on release of The Rejects - Dark Chocolate Edition on Kidrobot.com. "I’ve been paralyzed and in a wheelchair for almost 20 years and I spent so much of that time creating all this weird, emotional art to help deal with it. I got to a point where that got old and making these silly characters was way more therapeutic than trying to put my feelings into a painting. So now I make my little guys to make myself laugh or smile and hope that it does the same for others." -One-Eyed Girl AKA Kasey Tararuj
